The Pressure Is On

Building Science has changed the way many HVAC businesses have to operate today. The days of an HVAC company only understanding the operation of a HVAC system simply isn't enough. As we insulate buildings better and construct them tighter, the margin for error gets smaller and smaller to create problematic issues with moisture, comfort and energy management.

Goals:

1) Demonstrate the pressure interactions between the various HVAC systems and the building envelope.

2) How the various insulation methodologies can drastically

change the buildings mechanical needs, and

3) Ultimately provide the attendees with a deeper perspective of how buildings perform as a system.

Commissioning with measureQuick for Capacity, Efficiency, Reduced Call Backs, and Higher Profit

Commissioning is the process of testing a brand-new HVAC installation within a new or existing building to make sure it meets the designer or owner’s specifications. Most systems we work on have at least one fault, which is a challenge AND an opportunity for our industry to improve the lives of customers.

Commissioning, both new and retrofit, involves controls, ductwork, filters, condensate, testing with probes in proper places, total static pressure, benchmarking, and more. MeasureQuick’s services include giving an overview of the system status, vitals scoring, and diagnostics. The project’s information updates when you add new readings to the app, and you can then generate a report explaining measureQuick’s findings.
