E – 1588 Economizers In Air Handlers
$50.00
Courses Included
An air-side economizer is an HVAC control system that can provide significant cooling energy savings when
much as they should and some waste a lot of energy. Economizers save energy by using outside air to cool buildings. Better design, controls, installation, monitoring, and maintenance can help economizers meet their potential.
This course describes how air-side economizers are used in air handlers serving commercial buildings. The course also discusses when and when not to use economizers, how economizers are controlled, how economizers can save or waste energy, what to look for if economizers are not working properly and other issues related to economizer applications.
