Beyond the Box: HVAC Starts with the House
Tuesday, November 11 | 12:00 – 1:00 PM ET

An ACCA Codes and Coffee webinar

You can’t HVACR your way out of a bad house. Too often, contractors are called in to fix comfort, humidity, or efficiency problems that aren’t caused by the equipment at all — they’re baked into the building itself.
Our panel of building performance experts will cut through the myths, answer questions, and share actionable solutions.
We’ll be covering:

Do furnaces “dry out” houses?
Can leaky ducts waste more energy than oversized systems?
What makes air sealing so important to a building’s efficiency?
Can MAD air destroy comfort?
When does a blower door test make sense?
What should you do with homes that are fundamentally flawed?

Join ACCA’s David Bixby, manager of codes and standards, Wes Davis, director of technical services, Ed Janowiak, manager of HVACR design education, and the confirmed panel of experts shown below. Bring your questions, toughest building problems, and favorite mug — this Codes & Coffee is about to get real.

Filtering Reality in HVAC Filtration
Wednesday, January 7 | 12:00 – 1:00 PM ET

An ACCA Codes & Coffee Webinar

Air filters often claim to solve a myriad of problems related to indoor air quality. What is true? What is hyperbole? What are some unintended consequences of “good” filters?
Topics to be covered:

How much filtration do you really need? MERV 11?
What is going on in “the industry?”
ASHRAE 62.2 – What is adopted by code? Is it enough?
What are the barriers to good filtration?
Code is the minimum. Is this good enough?
What about wild fires and other pollutants?

Join our host David Bixby, ACCA manager of codes, and our panel of experts below. We’re going to discuss factors when choosing the right filter, MERV ratings, HEPA, and strategies for filters with high resistance.
