February 24 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Earth Advantage & BetterBuiltNW welcome HVAC contractors, builders, architects and other interested building professionals for this 1-hour live webinar training to learn about common ductwork installation performance issues that can be easily avoided.
Clients expect high-performance homes that meet their comfort, health, and energy-efficiency expectations, and well-designed and installed modern HVAC systems are vital to success.
A well-performing system starts with a good design but that alone is not a guarantee. Proper duct installation significantly impacts the delivery comfort and energy efficiency. We’ll cover topics that include:
- Understand how to select and install various ducting materials and optimize performance, comfort, and energy efficiency.
- Hear about some of the more common problems of duct installation encountered in the field.
- Discuss how to get the best performance from flex duct.
- Learn about the terms like Equivalent Length of Duct Fittings, Zonal Pressure Relief, the “2-foot” rule, and why it’s crucial to comfort.
This webinar discusses common duct installation challenges and is an excellent resource for entry-level installers as well as a great refresher for more seasoned technicians alike. We encourage high performance builders to share this training opportunity with their HVAC contractors.
