RTUs: Repair or Replace… or Enhance? - PE PDHs, FAD, & Elite hrs - Melrose Park, IL
with Ryan Hoger
Packaged roof top units (RTUs) are used to easily and effectively heat and cool more than 50% of all commercial buildings, but how long do they last out in the environment in the northern climates? Should you spend money to repair one when it finally fails or should you replace it with a new unit? Or should replace it before it fails? Are there ways to save energy on the existing or the new unit?, This course will use proven methods and easy to use (and free) software tools help to quantify the economic value of a repair, a new unit, or an energy conservation measure.
OPTIONAL: PLEASE BRING YOUR LAPTOP TO CLASS TO INSTALL AND RUN THESE SOFTWARE TOOLS.
