MINI SPLIT HEAT PUMP SOLUTIONS Strategies for sizing, quoting and installing better solutions for your customers Homeowners across New Brunswick are upgrading to heat pumps: whether you're starting with a furnace, baseboards, or other fossil fuel heating systems; heat pumps are a cost-effective choice for many different homes across the province. Get the edge on your competition by learning best practices to better size, control, and select mini-split systems to maximize homeowner cost savings and showcase how your systems reduce environmental footprints for homeowners. This half-day workshop will walk you through a case study home covering the following topics of interest.   ·      New innovative methods to get your load calculation faster and at lower cost enabling competitive right sizing of heat pump systems. ·      Control strategies that enable better control of back baseboard heaters ·      NRCan’s ASHP sizing and selection tool tools help communicate the cost and environmental benefits of the systems you sell.   Avoid the trap of running your baseboards while your heat pump sits idling on a mild winter day and join NRCan’s Local Energy Efficiency Partnerships (LEEP) program, CHBA NB, and leading mini split manufacturers in this half-day workshop. This is a chance to network with your industry peers and discuss key issues on sizing and controls of these market-dominant heat pump systems.

Online Basic Principles of Residential Ventilation Through this online course, participants are introduced to the basic principles of residential ventilation. We start by defining the concept known as “House as a System”; the flow of air, heat, and water and how these impact natural ventilation (aka air leakage). Then we move on to describing the theory of mechanical airflow including air pressure, duct resistance, and fan ratings. A review of the impact on combustion appliances, humidity levels, and indoor air quality is also provided. There are lots of visuals and periodic quizzes to reinforce the learning objectives!s. Ongoing - Self-paced Free for New Brunswick HVAC Professionals For Non-New Brunswick HVAC Professionals the fees are: $89 + HST REGISTER

Online Basic Principles of Residential Air Systems Through this online course, participants are introduced to the basic principles of the residential air system.  A combination of mathematical skills is reviewed to assist in basic calculations of airflow dynamics. Participants then move on to learning basic concepts including covering house construction components, basics of heat loss/heat gain, pressures, ducts & fittings, and an overview of different types of residential forced air systems. The course also covers basic air system selection and regulatory topics.  This online course is a must-have for the HVAC Professional wanting to build their basic knowledge of air system design, and this session is a pre-requisite prior to the full 4-day HRAI Residential Air System Design course.
