SMACNA and the National Energy Management Institute (NEMI) are presenting a webinar on the NEMI HVAC Fire Life Safety certifications exclusively for SMACNA members only on Jan. 26 at 11:00 a.m. (EST).

Event Objectives Gain solid understanding of how to construct duct in a resource efficient and sustainable manner that is compliant with SMACNA’s HVAC Duct Construction Standard. This is the final session in a three part series.

Event Objectives Gain solid understanding of how to construct duct in a resource efficient and sustainable manner that is compliant with SMACNA’s HVAC Duct Construction Standard. This is the second session in a three part series.

This presentation will cover the following (with respect to rectangular duct): - Basic definitions used to properly describe rectangular duct - Limits and proper application of various joints and seams - Use of the manual to determine proper construction options - and more

Session highlights the considerations in specifying and installing fire dampers, smoke dampers, combination fire and smoke dampers and ceiling dampers in HVAC systems.

Session highlights the SMACNA Seismic Restraint Manual – Guidelines For Mechanical Systems 3rd Edition (ANSI) means and methods for seismically bracing ducts and pipes to meet the requirements of the regionally appropriate seismic hazard levels so that ducts/pipes are more likely to maintain their integrity and remain attached to the building’s structure during a seismic event.

This webinar presentation on duct air leakage will define what duct air leakage is and how it relates to equipment air leakage, accessory air leakage, and HVAC system air leakage.

This webinar will demonstrate how to use SMACNA's Third Edition of the HVAC Duct Construction Standards to determine the proper range of construction options of rectangular duct used in today's commercial market.
