Load Estimating & Energy Efficiency
This is the third session in our HVAC Energy Efficiency Basics webinar series. Some of the sessions will build on each other, but you may choose to participate in any or all of them. See descriptions of all seven sessions here and register here.
Session description:
Correctly sizing systems to match the needs of the structure is key to energy efficiency and equipment longevity. We will introduce the fundamental concepts in calculating the heat gains and losses of the building in order to size the HVAC equipment needed.
Who should attend:
This introductory training will be helpful for utility and program administrator staff, energy auditors, sustainability professionals, and others who are involved with HVAC retrofits or building decarbonization.
Registration is free and open to all. The slides and a recording of each session will be available to all who register.
CEUs:
Continuing education units (CEUs) will be available through UMass for those who attend the live sessions. See more detail here.
