CaptiveAir Fan Fundamentals – From the Wright Brothers to Today (On-Demand)

Webinar
Virtual Event Virtual Event

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 (On-Demand)

Webinar

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.

Perlick – Bar Design on the Fly Webinar (1 CEU)

Virtual Event Virtual Event

BAR DESIGN ON THE FLY: Top 10 Checklist for an Efficient & Profitable Bar In today’s bar and restaurant industry, effective bar design is more crucial than ever. With challenges like limited staffing and an increase in less experienced workers, having a well-thought-out bar layout and organization is essential. A properly designed bar streamlines the preparation of complex drinks and plays a key role in boosting a restaurant’s profitability, as beverage sales typically yield higher profit margins than food sales. This quick 1 hour webinar serves as a good starting place for any bar design. The 3 main learning objectives are: Understand Key Design Principles: Learn how to design a bar layout that supports smooth cocktail preparation and service efficiency. Optimize Workflow and Storage Solutions: Gain insights into efficient workflow patterns, glassware storage, and strategic placement of essential bar elements. Prioritize Practical Functionality: Recognize the importance of planning for mixers, ice types, garnish prep, and cleanliness to maintain an organized and productive bar environment. These objectives will help guide attendees to build a comprehensive and profitable bar design. 1 CEU for FCSI Consultant Members Click here to join the webinar or contact Corrinne Walenda for more information [email protected] Corrinne Walenda […]

Event Series Building Management Systems for Modern HVAC – (1 CEU)

Building Management Systems for Modern HVAC – (1 CEU)

Building Management Systems for Modern HVAC - PDH Course Description: Modern 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. 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.
