SUMMARY:TECA Principles of Moving Air (Invermere) November 4th-6th
DESCRIPTION:Today\, newer more efficient furnaces and especially heat pumps require larger volumes of air to be moved than older higher temperature rise heating equipment. The Principles of Moving Air (POMA) course will benefit anyone working in the New\, Retrofit or Repair portions of the industry and will give those who are designing or installing duct systems the ability to supply quiet\, efficient systems which deliver the required volumes while using the least fan energy. Instructor David Hill has worked in the residential ventilation industry for 41 years\, co-founded TECA 25 years ago and currently chairs its Ventilation and POMA tech committees Course fees: Contractors: $500 (Note: Full course reimbursement and wage subsidies available for contractors registered with HPCN). Building Inspectors: $200 (BC Housing approved  32 CPD points) \nRegister Now (space is limited)
