Are you aware that sealing up a duct system to reduce duct leakage can cause an air conditioner or heat pump coil to freeze up?
Do you know what 7 measurements an energy rater or auditor can make to commission a new HVAC system in a home that will guarantee comfort and energy efficiency?
Are you a home energy rater tired of butting heads with builders and HVAC contractors over proper sizing of HVAC systems?
In most home energy rater or energy auditor training classes, students learn just enough to get started. Students who aren't in the HVAC industry, however, (as well as some who are) quickly find when they're analyzing comfort and energy problems in homes that they need to know more. A lot more.
