US DOE Midwest Regional Weatherization Conference
THAM 3 - Mechanical Ventilation: Performance Diagnostics (in field)
Thursday, August 17, 2006 · 8:30 AM - 11:50 AM
Learn how to inspect and measure the performance of mechanical ventilation systems. Use the tools, perform the tests, and discuss the results! Ensure that the systems provide adequate airflow, proper operational control, and adequate distribution of ventilation air, while avoiding pressurization / depressurization problems. This session will focus on exhaust ventilation equipment and systems.
By attending this session, participants will
- Recognize the value and the importance of verifying mechanical ventilation system performance, both new and existing
- Begin to be able to verify that a mechanical ventilation system is performing effectively
- Learn flow measuring and balancing, and troubleshooting practices that ensure the proper functioning of mechanical ventilation systems
KEYWORDS: airflow, diagnostics, distribution, ductwork, HVAC, installation, mechanical ventilation, performance, pressurization
