Overview
Air distribution in America has been undergoing a material change over the past few years, literally. Engineers, interior designers, architects, facility owners and contractors have found that the use of fabric material ducts have provided the technical answer to air distribution problems that traditional sheet metal ducts havent been able to achieve without significant additional cost. The use of fabric air distribution systems can be a paradigm shift that sets stagnant engineering and architectural minds in motion on a building design team. With the recent uncontrolled rising cost of steel, the use of fabric air distribution systems has become a more viable alternative than ever before.
In this course the student will learn some of the fundamental reasons why fabric air distribution systems are truly engineered for each application and in particular why and how DuctSox products are considered by many to be the best basis-of-design products to consider.
The student is expected to read and review the material contained multiple documents for this course including the original text from an article published in Engineered Systems by Steven G. Liescheidt, P.E., CSI CCS, CCPR, DuctSox Product Guide 2006 (DSC004F0106A-SC) and the DuctSox Engineering & Design Manual (DSD06E0406G).
The student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of twenty-seven (27) questions at the end of this course to obtain PDH credits. Note that it is not necessary to review the entire catalog in order to answer the equipment selection questions in the course quiz.
