Purpose:  The majority of buildings designed over the past several decades have HVAC mechanical systems optimized using rules of thumbs that were optimal in 1937. On average, these buildings could be using 10%-30% less HVAC energy if the designers were more aware of powerful paradigm shifts that have taken place since the 1980’s. Anyone design engineer who attends this course will be given a number of effective strategies that will dramatically improve their very next design. Any technician will learn dozens of ways to improve the overall efficiency of their existing systems.
