Why NCI’s Air Balancing Training is Different
Our air balancing training was created from the ground-up based on many years of actual field experience, practical NCI standards, and simplification of often complex engineering concepts and terminology. For example, this class will help you understand what fan laws do, how they work, and how using them to make pulley adjustments affects system balance. You’ll also learn how to overcome the common obstacles you’ll run into in the field while adjusting and balancing most commercial systems. By passing the exam on day three, you will earn NCI’s exclusive Commercial Air Balancing Certification for systems up to 25 tons.
Who should attend?
HVAC professionals, energy raters, energy improvement contractors, builders, facility managers and technicians, engineers, property managers, NCI Certified Air Balancers
