SUMMARY:Heat Illness\, California Regulations and the Kitchen of the Future
DESCRIPTION:Provided by California Energy Wise (CEW)\, Southern California Edison\n2 CEUs available \nDescription: \nThis class covers two different commercial kitchen challenges: high heat environments and the many kitchen water wasters that can be readily fixed. The first half explains the newly adopted CalOSHA Indoor Heat Illness regulations. These regulations are meant to protect kitchen workers but\, they also apply to equipment service professionals who might be working in those kitchens. Learn the details of these new regulations\, how to help operators lower kitchen temperatures\, and how to come into compliance with these laws. Likewise\, new California laws require that all water utilities follow strict conservation guidelines in both dry and wet years – which could impact water costs. The second half of the class provides training on how to spot and mitigate common water-wasting leaks and wasteful operating practices in kitchens and dishrooms. \nParticipants will be able to: \n\nAppraise an employee’s indoor heat illness risk and communicate a plan to come into compliance with the CalOSHA Indoor Heat Illness regulations\nExplain how to reduce the ambient heat in a kitchen environment through equipment choice and ventilation optimization\nEmploy corrective techniques to reduce water waste in commercial kitchens and dishrooms.\n\nSpeaker:\nRichard Young\, Director of Educatioln\, Frontier Energy’s\, Food Service Technology Center \nTo register\, contact Gwen Yamasaki at gwen.yamasaki@sce.com or\n626.812.7566.

SUMMARY:Building Management Systems for Modern HVAC (On Demand)
DESCRIPTION:Brought to you by CaptiveAire Systems Inc.\nWorth 1 CEU \nCourse Description:\nModern buildings are complex; thre are lighting systems\, HVAC\, pumps\, security systems\, utilities\, and more.  More often than not\, it makes sense to connect all this equipment to a centralized controller or Building Management System (BMS) in order to properly monitor and control it all.  In this video we explore how a custom BMS can extract the most performance out of a sophisticated piece of equipment like Paragon HVAC.  We apply various use cases including troubleshooting\, comfort\, and efficiency examples\, with a look towards the future and the use of AI.\n\nPrerequisite Knowledge: None.\nLearning Objective 1: Understand what a Building Management System is and its basic uses\nLearning Objective 2: Compare and contrast traditional HVAC troubleshooting with the proactive approach Building Management Systems can provide\nLearning Objective 3: Understand how Building Management Systems can be used by engineers to improve the efficiency of HVAC equipment\nLearning Objective 4: Understand how HVAC equipment can be improved using large pools of data gathered by Building Management Systems \nFor access\, contact Mary Atwood at mary.atwood@captiveaire.com\n720-772-9971

SUMMARY:Resi-Mercial™ - where residential meets commercial design
DESCRIPTION:Provided by Middleby\n1 CEU available \nSummary:\nAs the demand for more comfortable\, functional\, and aesthetically pleasing commercial spaces continues to grow\, Resi-Mercial design oIers a unique opportunity to enhance user experience while maintaining practicality. By blending residential-style appliances and elements with commercial functionality\, designers can create spaces that feel more\nwelcoming\, luxurious\, and eIicient. It’s important to consider the specific needs of each space and carefully assess when and where to integrate these appliances\, ensuring they meet both design goals and operational requirements. As the lines between residential and commercial design continue to blur\, understanding the potential of Resi-Mercial solutions\nwill be crucial for staying ahead in the evolving design landscape. \nFor more information\, contact Madison Fitzgerald at mfitzgerald@middleby.com or 7027578498.
