Advanced Lab Application and Design Workshop with Greenheck and Antec
Join the Buckley, Antec Controls, and the Greenheck Engineering teams for a four-part virtual workshop series focused on the design of critical lab spaces.
Course Objectives:To provide advanced HVAC design training for lab spaces. Focus on control strategies for exhaust fan systems, venturi vales, and room pressurization. This 4-part series is intended to be an advanced training session and participants should understand basic room pressurization theory, Fume hood basics and temperature control sequences for these applications. Please forward this to anyone on your team or in your network that you believe could benefit from these sessions.
