“Green” Ventilation Seminar Series
In 2007, HVAC Comfortech and the Home Ventilating Institute (HVI) brought you a series of very successful seminars on the fast–growing sector of the HVAC market – ventilation and indoor air quality. In 2008, Comfortech and HVI are excited to again offer a four part series focussing on the impact of green buildings on ventilation and IAQ. This is a program that you won’t want to miss!
Attend all four sessions to complete the “HVI Passport” you’ll receive when you arrive at the first ventilation session and you’ll be entered into a drawing for a variety of ventilation products such as bathroom fans, heat and energy recovery ventilators, range hoods and inline fans donated by HVI members. This opportunity is only available to those who attend all four sessions!
A House is a System
Tex McLeod, The McLeod Associates
In 2007, Tex McLeod, a contractor and builder with 30 years of experience in advanced residential construction spoke to an overflow crowd on the need to understand that a house is a system. In 2008, Tex returns to expand on this concept by demonstrating how the current trend in green building requires contractors to understand how a house works as a system to ensure that ventilation and IAQ needs are met.
Understanding Ventilation in Green Building Programs
Don Stevens, Panasonic Home and Environment Co. & Paul Raymer, Heyoka Solutions
In 2007, Don Stevens brought you an understanding of how building codes, ventilation rates and HVI Certified Ventilation Performance worked together to provide builders and their customers with the comfortable, healthy indoor environments they expected. In 2008, Don returns, along with Paul Raymer, to clarify the ventilation requirements of green building programs such as Energy Star, LEED for Homes and the NAHB Green Building program. Understanding the ventilation requirements of these programs has become critical as the number of homes built to green building standards expands rapidly in all regions.
Indoor Air Quality Solutions – Knowledge Makes the Difference
John Ouellette, M.D
Everyone’s talking about it and everyone seems to be offering a solution. But, what do you, as the contractor, need to know to provide the products and systems that ensure IAQ? Come and find out from the experts what you really need to know to identify IAQ problems and provide solutions that work. All homes, new, old and green have IAQ issues and require good ventilation practice – this is an opportunity to learn how to expand your business and your customers’ satisfaction.
Installation – The Key to Making Ventilation Work
Rob Ferris, Fantech & Gord Cooke, Air Solutions, Inc.
The best products can be defeated by poor installation. We’ve all seen heating and cooling systems that did not perform due to installation problems. Ventilation is no different. Without good installation practices it just won’t perform leading to customer complaints, callbacks and even legal liabilities. HVI brings you a team of experts with years of installation experience to lead this lively, hands–on session where you get to see the results of good and bad installation practices.
