The aim will be to educate participants on how to identify areas in a facility where there is an opportunity for air savings. We will cover some of the information you need to know before starting, some of the tools needed, and the air saving solutions available. A heavy focus will be on low-cost opportunities that are easy to implement yet have an immediate impact to overall energy savings.
