Sept. 28, 2011: New Building Systems Analysis and Retrofit Manual Now Available
CHANTILLY, Va. — The Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning Contractors’ National Association (SMACNA) has announced that its new Building Systems Analysis and Retrofit Manual, 2nd edition, is now available.
According to SMACNA, the updated guide will assist in developing new business strategies targeting the renovation of existing buildings. Regulations forcing the change out of refrigerants and codes mandating stricter ventilation requirements, coupled with the federal government’s Better Buildings directive requiring improved energy efficiency of existing commercial buildings by 20 percent by 2020, offer new business opportunities.
