Exhaust Stack Discharge Volume Reduction (ESDVR)

This webinar was originally broadcast on September 16, 2020. The purpose of this presentation is to inform industry professionals about the factors involved in designing a laboratory exhaust system. The presentation will outline the selection of the exhaust fans enhancing the highest potential turndown and the different laboratory control options that will affect the energy consumption of the laboratory.Speaker: Doug Ross Length: 60 minutes PDH credits: 1

Fundamentals of Air Flow

The purpose of this presentation is to provide industry professionals with an overview of the basic concepts and relationships between airflow and pressure, and how these concepts are affected by various outside factors in regard to fans. This webinar was originally broadcast on May 6, 2020.Speaker: Jason Meinke Recording length: 60 minutes PDH credits: 1

High Wind Testing and Certification of Fans

Learn about the importance of High Wind certification and its guidelines for testing, test protocols, regulatory agencies overview such as Miami-Dade County and the Florida Building Commission and their approval processes.

Introduction to Car Park Ventilation Solutions

This presentation explores the safety and cost benefits of a jet fan based car park ventilation system. The intended outcome of the presentation is the necessary understanding you need to evaluate new car park proposals, decide if a jet fan based ventilation system is most appropriate, and if so, prepare a specification against which a proposal may be prepared. This webinar was originally broadcast on April 14, 2021. Speaker: Geoff Sheard Recording length: 60 minutes PDH credits: 1

Sand Louvers & Certification

For building owners in Persian Gulf countries, sand storms have long been a fact of life and a threat to HVAC equipment. For this reason, there is growing global attention on the quantity of sand that moves through the louvers installed on building facades and casements of equipment penthouses and enclosures. But a great help has been introduced in this struggle against sand penetration, and that is the introduction of louvers specifically designed, tested and certified to reject sand. This presentation will cover the subject and assist engineers, architects, and specifiers in learning more about this important topic.

Selecting Laboratory Fans Meeting Acoustical Criteria of the Project

When selecting an exhaust system for a critical environment, there is an alternative to N+1 redundancy for critical systems. This system will provide significantly improved operating efficiency, smaller footprint, better control with faster response to changes, while allowing a lower upfront cost. What you would call a win-win situation! This webinar was originally broadcast on December 8, 2021. Speakers: Doug Ross & Kristen Neath Recording length: 60 minutes PDH credits: 1

Severe Duty Louver Testing and Certification

Climate change has influenced and worsened the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, thus leading to more states adopting building codes that require severe duty louvers. This webinar will review the different types of severe duty louvers including hurricane louvers, FEMA Grills, the testing & certifying agents, and the testing protocols involved. This webinar was originally broadcast on June 16, 2021.Speaker: Doug Petty Recording length: 60 minutes PDH credits: 1

Specifier Beware! The Importance of Certification (AMCA/AHRI-ME Webinar)

Early in 2024, AMCA announced the release of a significant update of AMCA Publication 512, AMCA Listing Label Program. The AMCA Listing Label Program provides follow-up service for louvers tested in accordance with ANSI/AMCA Standard 540, Test Methods for Louvers Impacted by Wind Borne Debris, and/or ANSI/AMCA Standard 550, Test Method for High Velocity Wind Driven Rain Resistant Louvers. Join us for this 60-minute webinar to learn about notable changes to AMCA Publication 512 as well as changes to ANSI/AMCA Standard 540 and ANSI/AMCA Standard 550 made during the documents’ latest revision cycles and how they affect AMCA members.Speakers: Charlie Meyers & Nabil Shahin Recording length: 60 minutes PDH credits: 0

System Effects AMCA Publication 201- Changing the Curve

The purpose of this presentation is to inform industry professionals on AMCA Publication 201: Fans and Systems, on System Effects, and their impact on fan performance. Fan selection, fan curves, and Fan Energy Index (FEI) will be introduced. This webinar was originally broadcast on April 21, 2020.Speaker: Bill Howarth Recording length: 60 minutes PDH credits: 1
