Refrigerant Revolution: Navigating the Shift in Refrigerants & Designing the Future of VRV Systems
Date: August 8, 2024 |PDH Credit Amount: 3 Credits
Federal and State regulations are driving the industry to new lower GWP refrigerants. Learn how the landscape of applied HVAC systems is changing and how new, lower GWP refrigerants will impact your HVAC system. Learn which refrigerants will replace traditional refrigerants and how these changes can assist in the decarbonization of HVAC systems.
ASHRAE Standard 15 will drive new safety and design requirements when using these refrigerants; don't be caught off-guard by how these changes will impact you!

Controlling COVID-19 Through Indoor Humidity Management Webinar
Original Seminar Date: May 19, 2020 |PDU Credit Amount: 1 Credit
Maintaining indoor relative humidity levels within the 40%–60% "sweet spot" helps us fight respiratory viral illnesses such as COVID-19. Research studies clearly show us that keeping indoor humidity in this range through humidification is extremely effective in protecting our health. This humidity sweet spot is beneficial for three important reasons. First, it decreases the number of infectious pathogens in the air, second, it inactivates viruses in the air and on surfaces, and thirdly it bolsters our immune system. This is always important, but more now than ever.
