“We wanted to reach out to our large HVAC contractor community to provide a refresher on duct board fabrication and promote the more advanced continuing education course taught here at St. Philip’s,” said Juan Villela, department chair of Allied Construction Trades at St. Philip’s.
The more than 160 participants were treated to a four-hour session that included hands-on demonstrations on the fabrication of a variety of duct system components. It also focused on the importance of proper closure systems, code compliance, UL ratings, equipment connections and more. Attendees who completed the workshop received a certificate of completion, and a copy of the NAIMA Fibrous Glass Duct Construction Standard.
