Webinar – HVAC Thermal Storage for Enhanced Heating & Cooling

Tuesday, July 14, 10:30 AM – 12:00PM

HVAC Thermal Storage for Enhanced Heating & Cooling

Adding energy storage to buildings not only saves energy, energy costs, water and carbon, but it now gets a boost with substantial federal tax incentives.  Presentation covers innovations, challenges and opportunities in the transition to electrified heating systems using thermal storage.  Several system choices will be reviewed from a high-level overview followed by a little deeper into a novel approach to ice storage for enhanced heating performance in a commercial building that includes example analysis with estimated economics and carbon reduction.

Webinar – Ventilation for Every Season: Healthy, Efficient Homes in a Changing Climate

Ventilation for Every Season: Healthy, Efficient Homes in a Changing Climate

As homes become tighter through improved building practices, code requirements, and retrofit upgrades, ventilation plays an increasingly important role in supporting comfort, durability, indoor air quality, and long-term performance. At the same time, more frequent wildfire smoke events are changing how builders, HVAC contractors, and raters think about ventilation because homeowners need systems they can understand, use, and adjust to changing outdoor conditions.

This webinar will bring together HVAC design, installation, and commissioning perspectives to explore real-world indoor air quality challenges. Through practical examples and field-based case studies, presenters will discuss how system design, filtration, and controls can help meet code requirements, manage wildfire smoke, and ensure homeowners understand and use their whole-house ventilation systems.This event is part of a three-part webinar series. Learn more about the full series.

What are the trade-offs when selecting duct mastic? There are many! This webinar will detail what HVAC material buyers and technicians need to know when selecting duct mastics, including matching mastic to spec, alternatives to liquid mastic, and where UL 181 listings fit.

For HVAC Technicians
• Choosing and applying the right type of mastic for the job.
• True mastic tapes, what they are and how they differ from other foil tapes.
• UL standards, what they mean, why they matter and what is fully “Listed”.
• How to reduce leaks and callbacks by spotting pitfalls early.
For HVAC Business Owners or Managers
• Better select mastic to meet specs while balancing cost, safety, and compliance.
• Make smarter labor tradeoffs when choosing from mastic options.

Virtual Training – Whole-Home Humidification Fundamentals

Whole-Home Humidification Fundamentals

June 23 at 8 AM ET
Maintaining proper indoor humidity is essential for comfort, health, and HVAC system performance—especially during the heating season. This live virtual training provides HVAC professionals with a practical overview of whole-home humidification and the role humidity control plays in creating balanced indoor environments.

Participants will explore the fundamentals of relative humidity and learn why maintaining appropriate moisture levels is critical for occupant comfort, indoor air quality, and the protection of building materials. The session will introduce the most common residential humidifier technologies—including bypass, fan-powered, and steam systems—and explain how each integrates with a home’s HVAC system.

In addition to system fundamentals, the course will cover key installation considerations, routine maintenance practices, and common troubleshooting strategies that help ensure reliable humidifier performance.

By the end of the session, participants will better understand how properly designed, installed, and maintained humidification systems support healthier indoor environments while improving comfort and HVAC system effectiveness.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Explain the role of humidity control in residential indoor comfort and health
  • Understand the fundamentals of relative humidity and seasonal moisture challenges
  • Identify common whole-home humidifier types and how they operate within HVAC systems
  • Recognize key installation and maintenance considerations for reliable system performance
  • Apply basic troubleshooting strategies to support effective humidification

Webinar – In the Zone: Zoning for Forced-Air

In the Zone: Zoning for Forced-Air

Wednesday, April 22 | 12:00 – 1:00 PM ET

An ACCA Codes & Coffee Webinar

Zoning for Forced Air? It’s not new. It’s been done successfully for over 60 years with dampers. However, the majority of HVAC Contractors stay away from zoning and won’t see it as solving comfort problems most homeowners live with every day.

Zoning also provides substantial energy savings over single thermostat systems. Independent studies show as much as 33% reduction in KWH with zoning, yet less than 5% of all HVAC equipment shipments are zoned every year. Many contractors say the house is too small for zoning.

Our panel of zoning experts will show you how to zone any home, new or existing, which will end up paying for itself with the energy savings.
