Tuesday, May 17, 2005  ·  1:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Mechanical Ventilation System Design

Learn the fundamentals and detailed methods used to design residential mechanical ventilation systems that work. The methods to be covered have been used to teach thousands of HVAC contractors how to design and install systems that provide adequate air flow, proper operational control, and adequate distribution of ventilation air while avoiding pressurization/depressurization problems. This short course is appropriate for technical and non-technical audiences.

By attending this session, participants will

1. Understand how to select a type of system for a specific climate and application that will provide proper mechanical ventilation for both the house and people

2. Find out how to size and design ventilation systems to meet standards including ASHRAE 62.2 – 2003 using individual exhaust fans, supply ventilation systems, or central fan/HRV systems.

3. Recognize the importance of duct sizing, installation, flow checking, and troubleshooting practices that ensure the proper functioning of mechanical ventilation systems
