AIA-logoEnergy Transfer Solutions is hosting our first collaborative AIA pre-approved seminar on Tuesday, December 16th - HVAC for Architects. We've designed a presentation with our architects in mind that provides education on basics of HVAC and how it applies to the architectural field.

This course is pre-approved by the AIA for four (4) CEU credits, includes complimentary breakfast and lunch, and is free to S.A.R.A. members.

CEU Course Description:
This course is design to give architects an overview and introduction to heating, ventilation, and air conditioning. This course will focus on HVAC system types, design types, energy efficiencies, life cycle cost analysis, data center cooling, as well as basic system controls. Attendees will also learn about the architectural and mechanical codes related to HVAC design. The overall focus of the course is for attendees to gain knowledge on the effects that the HVAC design has on the overall architectural design of a project.

Event Location:
ABC Headquarters
Second Floor Training Room
430 West Germantown Pike
East Norriton, PA 19403
