FIV On-the-Road – “ACGIH Comes to You!”

If you have a full team or department in need of professional development, ACGIH can bring our world-class industrial ventilation education right to your door. Classes can be tailored to your audience and last one week. You simply provide a location and ACGIH delivers all the learning materials. This hands-on course, taught by world renowned industrial ventilation experts, covers both basic and advanced topics related to industrial ventilation and related calculations. A minimum of 25 people are required.

ACGIH’s Fundamentals in Industrial Ventilation is a course that covers recommended ventilation and engineering controls including:

The behavior of air and chemical contaminants in the air
Industrial process exhaust system design (including ACGIH calculation methods)
Make-up and supply air ventilation systems
Dilution ventilation systems
Selection and design of exhaust hoods, ducts, and fittings
Fans and air cleaners (including Fan Laws)
Troubleshooting and testing of existing systems
Hands-on testing and measurements

ACGIH’s Fundamentals in Industrial Ventilation course includes classwork on Practical Applications of Useful Equations. Utilizing a hands-on ventilation lab, calculations instruction closely follows ACGIH’s Quantitative Industrial Hygiene: A Formula Workbook supplied to participants which features:

Calculation and estimation approaches related to airborne contaminants
TLV and TWA
OA for dilution, fans, system testing, sound and noise, heat stress, radiation, ventilation, statistics, chemistry, etc.
A ventilation lab where participants work in a team environment
