“The ASHRAE HVAC Design Training provided me with the information needed in order to carry out my position responsibilities more effectively. The training aided in the design of high-performance HVAC systems that are optimized for occupant comfort and safety. I am eager to share what I have learned with my coworkers and to implement the newly attained knowledge into my own HVAC design.”

Aaron R. – Hancock, MI

“I think this is a great course in terms of course contents and instructors. I am not a design engineer, and I work on energy-savings projects. I have to know the HVAC design and control system in depth to perform any saving calculations for energy-saving measures. This course provided a good review of the HVAC system, load calculations, and also where to find additional information if required. I highly recommend this course for everyone who has some experience in HVAC systems and designs.”
