 | Over a course of several days, Neal and Darren from the AC New Construction Department conducted classes to teach basic Test and Balance concepts to the Sheet Metal Department technicians and project managers. Pairing sheet metal and A/C technicians to perform the Test and Balancing -- the final phase of most projects -- encourages departments to work together and to gain a better understanding of how components of installation affect the overall performance of the HVAC system. |

 Neal and Darren go over the equations to calculate CFM based on velocity readings.  Nelson, our sheet metal Supe, explains damper installation to Evelyn.  Ronald and Brandon calculate CFM. |  Neal illustrates various methods for reading CFM off a supply air diffuser.  Ricky does his math equations, while Neal looks on.  Lyle, Evelyn, and Neal review TAB drawings. |
'Hats Off" to Darren and Neal!
