SUMMARY:Norbec - How To Specify a Custom Walk-In Cooler - (1 CEU)
DESCRIPTION:Course Description​: Walk-in coolers and freezers are not just for restaurants. They’re found in schools\, hospitals\, food-processing plants\, and laboratories. Sometimes a stocked\, prefabricated walk-in will suffice\, but most coolers and freezers require a custom solution.​ \nThis course will walk you through the specification considerations for a custom walk-in including size\, temperature\, refrigeration\, energy efficiency\, floors\, doors\, and more. You’ll see how each area relates to one another in supporting an energy-conscious and durable walk-in assembly.​ \n  \nLearning Objectives​:  \nAt the end of this course\, participants will be able to: ​ \n\nReview all components of a walk-in cooler/freezer assembly and how an energy-efficient refrigeration system works.​\nIdentify all the considerations when determining the size of a walk-in cooler including the products to be stored\, shelves and carts\, ventilation\, and future needs.​\nDetermine a walk-in’s temperature based on type of products\, humidity\, usage\, and more.​\nAcknowledge the importance of the cooler’s insulated panels’ R-value\, efficient refrigeration\, and controls/monitors to meet or exceed energy-administration requirements. ​\nExplain how walk-in panels contribute to LEED v4.​\n\nAddress the importance of specifying the right door\, floor\, finishes\, and other considerations \n  \nContact Marilou Leclaire for more info – mleclaire@norbec.com

SUMMARY:Building Management Systems for Modern HVAC - (1 CEU)
DESCRIPTION:Building Management Systems for Modern HVAC – PDH\nCourse Description:\nModern buildings are complex; there 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. \nPrerequisite Knowledge:\nNone \nLearning Objective 1:\nUnderstand what a Building Management System is and its basic uses. \nLearning Objective 2:\nCompare and contrast traditional HVAC troubleshooting with the proactive approach\nBuilding Management Systems can provide. \nLearning Objective 3:\nUnderstand how Building Management Systems can be used by engineers to improve\nthe efficiency of HVAC equipment. \nLearning Objective 4:\nUnderstand how HVAC equipment can be improved using large pools of data gathered\nby Building Management Systems.

SUMMARY:CaptiveAir Fan Fundamentals - From the Wright Brothers to Today (On-Demand)
DESCRIPTION: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.\nFans 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. \nPresenter Information\nBill Griffin\, President of Engineering and Manufacturing – CaptiveAire Systems\, Inc. He is the President of Engineering and Manufacturing with CaptiveAire Systems\, the nation’s leading manufacturer of commercial kitchen ventilation systems. Bill began working in the HVAC industry at CaptiveAire in 1999\, immediately after graduating from the University of Maryland with a bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering. Bill began as a draftsman with CaptiveAire and advanced within the company to overseeing all of manufacturing and\nengineering. For over 20 years\, his career has focused on the design\, development\, manufacturing and improvement of products. Bill is a licensed Professional Engineer in the state of Pennsylvania and holds 7 patents for products in the kitchen ventilation and HVAC industry. \nGerman Tabor\, Filmmaker – CaptiveAire Systems\, Inc.\nWith a decade of experience in film and video production\, and a technical background in Aviation Maintenance encompassing hydraulic\, pneumatic\, climate control and electrical systems troubleshooting\, German Tabor is uniquely positioned to create effective and compelling engineering fundamentals videos. All of German’s videos are thoroughly reviewed by CaptiveAire engineers to ensure accuracy and the correct application of theories and\ncalculations. \nPrerequisite Knowledge: None.\nLearning Objective 1:\nUnderstand static and dynamic pressures\, as well as their relationship (Bernoulli’s principle).\nLearning Objective 2:\nUnderstand and apply the basic fan laws.\nLearning Objective 3:\nUnderstand the working principle of axial fans including HVLS\, Propeller\, Tubeaxial and Vaneaxial.\nLearning Objective 4:\nUnderstand the working principle of centrifugal fans of different designs and utilizing various impeller wheels. \nFor online access\, contact Mary Atwood mary.atwood@captiveaire.com

SUMMARY:Fan Performance Curves- A Deep Dive (On-Demand)
DESCRIPTION:Fan Performance Curves – A Deep Dive – 1 Hour Credit \nCourse Description:\nLet’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. \nPrerequisite Knowledge:\nNone. \nPresenter Information\nBill Griffin\, President of Engineering and Manufacturing – CaptiveAire Systems\, Inc.\nBill Griffin is the President of Engineering and Manufacturing with CaptiveAire Systems\, the nation’s leading manufacturer of commercial kitchen ventilation systems.
