Heat Pumps Are not Boilers, Designing Low Temp Systems — March 2021

Heat pumps are not boilers and you need to pipe them accordingly. In this 1 hour seminar Michael Ridler ( Eden Energy ) and Max Rohr ( Caleffi ) will show you the ropes of designing the interior piping of a heat pump system. The knowledge you learn during this seminar can be applied to air to water, water to water or even low temperature boiler applications.

This course will help you avoid the pitfalls of designing a system improperly and throwing away money on equipment which does not belong on a heat pump application. The difference between a properly piped and designed heat pump system can make the difference between a long lasting energy efficient system and a system that works inefficiently and pre-maturely fails.

Coles Notes of COVID with
Robert Bean & Gord Cooke — Dec 2020

Robert Bean and Gord Cook discuss the Coles Notes of COVID. The World Health Organization recently acknowledged a citizen's group petition through covidisairborne.org which communicates how important ventilation is as a management strategy of COVID-19.

COVID19 and the new research is a big deal as aerosol transmission implies social distancing is and has always been circumstantial...and hand washing isn’t going to scrub the air...proper masks work worn properly, hygiene is important and 2minutes of ventilation is arbitrary. Watch it Online
