    EXCLUSIVE: ROB 'DOC' FALKE - HOW DOES AIR BALANCING SAVE ENERGY?

    Air balancing is a small profession with less than 3,000 commercial supervisors certified by four major organizations. There are fewer than 7,000 residential balancing professionals certified by National Comfort Institute. So, there are less than 10,000 certified air balancers in the world today. (For comparison purposes, there are over 800,000 brain surgeons in the world.)

    HVACR STUDENTS RECEIVE FIELD TRAINING THROUGH ASHRAE GRANT

    From smart home controls to solar powered gas refrigeration, undergraduate HVACR students in their senior year are able to gain hands-on experience in their field thanks to the 2010-2011 ASHRAE Undergraduate Senior Project Grant. The grants, totaling some $65,000, are awarded by ASHRAE to colleges and universities worldwide to promote the study and teaching of HVAC&R, encouraging undergraduate students to pursue related careers. The grants are used to design and construct projects. For more information, visit WWW.ASHRAE.org/studentzone.
