The NEWS, in conjunction with the Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA), is presenting the National HVACR Service Managers Forum Oct. 9-10 at the Doubletree Hotel Houston, located in downtown Houston.
With today’s energy demands and costs soaring, there is a tremendous need for highly efficient equipment, and trained technicians that can install, service, and maintain this equipment.
Since merging the Gas Appliance Manufacturers Association (GAMA) and the Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute (ARI), change continues within the Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI). Most recently, the association hired David B. Calabrese to fill the newly created position of vice president, Public Policy.
BNP Media with Delmar Cengage Learning has published a book compilation of the popular service article series “Btu Buddy,” by Bill Johnson, originally published online on the Extra Edition page of The NEWS’ Website. Titled Btu Buddy Notebook, the book is a collection of more than 50 real-life service call scenarios.
ACCA has developed proposed verification protocols to provide an approach to effectively evaluate HVAC system installations while optimizing resources in terms of manpower and expenses. The protocols establish requirements for minimum sampling rates, evaluation procedures, and documentation. ACCA is seeking comments on the proposed protocols.
The Hydraulic Institute (HI) has begun the registration process for the 2008 Fall Management and Technical Meeting to be held at the Oak Brook Hills Marriott in Oak Brook, Ill., Oct. 7-11.
