ARLINGTON, Va. - The Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA) has added a new course for commercial contractors to its fall schedule. The first "Fundamentals of Commercial Load Calculation and Systems Design" class, from ACCA's Contractor Training Series, will take place Oct. 11-13, 2004, in Detroit.
According to ACCA, the course teaches practical procedures for calculating the various components of a commercial facility's heating and cooling load, using ACCA's Manual N. While emphasis is placed on identifying and calculating peak load conditions, discussion is also directed at understanding the structure's needs under part-load conditions.
