It’s always a fun day when we get into the field to commission a local installation of a duct system that we designed! My taller colleague Luke Bertram is a major asset on commissioning days, and not just for his height! We were able to troubleshoot an ERV boost issue related to the wiring of the controls and then successfully set (and measure) the client’s continuous and boost airflows. Picture is Luke measuring the boost airflow of an ERV supply in the main bedroom. Energy Vanguard

I gave two talks at the HVAC School Symposium last week. You can download the slides from my talk on a layered approach to indoor air quality by clicking the first link here. Layered Approach to IAQ slides https://lnkd.in/dh5ZeMv5 And if you missed the symposium, you still can watch all the presentations online for the low fee of $26. Here's where to go for that.

If you don't measure - you're just guessing. If you don't commission - you're not measuring. With all of the changes to regulations, standards, and technology, the residential HVAC industry must embrace commissioning to ensure that every new piece of equipment is installed and operating properly. Jim Bergmann recently joined Eric Kaiser & Bill Spohn, P.E. to discuss the industry's challenges with commissioning and warranties. Below are a few quotes from the episode: - Changing the culture in a company is hard to do; it must start from the top  - They don’t make products like they used to, or is it you that hasn’t kept up  - Manufacturers have refined their designs; installation instructions have serious details that they assume all techs will follow.
