PRESS RELEASE
The ASHRAE Learning Institute (ALI) has opened registration for its 2020 Fall Online Instructor-led Course Series. The series, which begins Sept. 10 and concludes Dec. 15, features 18 new or updated courses.
“ASHRAE’s online course series successfully engages built environment professionals through in-depth, practical instruction on a wide variety of topics,” said Charles E. Gulledge III, P.E. “This course series is structured to expand knowledge and provide professionals with an exceptional level of understanding to address today’s building challenges.”
“Evaluating Your HVAC System’s Readiness to Mitigate the Spread of SARS-CoV-2” expounds on the online ASHRAE COVID-19 details for reopening buildings and the Building Readiness Plan for HVAC systems. The course will focus on the re-occupancy of existing buildings through the evaluation of HVAC systems and how they can be altered to improve their ability to mitigate the transmission of a virus, such as SARS-CoV-2 that creates the COVID-19 disease, and how to potentially future proof them for the next epidemic.
Three-hour short courses are $299 ($224 ASHRAE member), two-hour courses are $198 ($149 ASHRAE member) and one-hour courses are $99 ($74 ASHRAE member).
