The Path
Basics in Industrial Ventilation
Gain a solid foundation and start building your skills with our “Basics in Industrial Ventilation” course. As an online learning opportunity, you’ll be able to earn 9.25 education contact hours and complete this course when and where you want. The professionally taught course covers a variety of topics, including the selection and design of industrial ventilation systems along with their care and maintenance. In addition to continuing your education and professional development, you’ll also receive a complimentary digital copy of “Industrial Ventilation: A Manual of Recommended Practice for Design, 30th Edition.”
FIV On-the-Road – “ACGIH Comes to You!”
If you have a full team or department in need of professional development, ACGIH can bring their world-class industrial ventilation education right to your door. Classes can be tailored to your audience and last anywhere from 2 – 5 days. You simply provide a location and ACGIH provides all learning materials.
Potential content of your tailored course can include:
- Identifying and selecting appropriate ventilation systems for process emission/exposure control
- Measuring and evaluating the performance of ventilation systems (flow, pressure, horsepower)
- Designing and evaluating dilution ventilation systems
- Designing/re-designing local exhaust systems using state-of-the-art design schematics
- Energy conservation techniques for a ventilation system
- Critically reviewing ventilation system plans, drawings, and specifications of engineers and architects
