Brought to you by CaptiveAire Systems Inc. Worth 1 CEU Course Description: Modern 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. Prerequisite Knowledge: None. Learning Objective 1: Understand what a Building Management System is and its basic uses Learning Objective 2: Compare and contrast traditional HVAC troubleshooting with the proactive approach Building Management Systems can provide Learning Objective 3: Understand how Building Management Systems can be used by engineers to improve the efficiency of HVAC equipment Learning Objective 4: Understand how HVAC equipment can be improved using large pools of data gathered by Building Management Systems For access, contact Mary Atwood at [email protected] 720-772-9971

Know nothing about fans? Perfect! We’ll cover the most fundamental topics like pressure gradients and the fan laws to build your understanding of both Axial and Centrifugal fans. Don’t worry, we make it fun with lots of demonstrations and animations, while tying some of these concepts to the early days of aviation and even cows. Yes, cows. Fans excel at one simple job: moving air. Yet, most people don’t really know how they do so, and that’s ok! But if you’re not most people and want to learn about these neat machines, you’re at the right place.

Fan Performance Curves - A Deep Dive – 1 Hour Credit Course Description: Let’s build a fan curve! We’ll start by collecting data on a real fan, and then use the fan laws to extrapolate all the require data. Then we’ll use the curves to size up fans and motors, and along the way we’ll look into eEiciency’s, safety margins, density, and even system eEect. We condensed a wealth of knowledge into 1 video that connects all the dots. Prerequisite Knowledge: None.
