Economizer Diagnostics Using Data Loggers

Commercial building air handlers and rooftop units use economizers to save energy. Economizer failure leads to energy waste by increasing heating and cooling consumption and absent any obvious comfort problems failures are typically not identified. These "invisible" failures are the leading cause of energy waste in HVAC systems, but are easily repaired.

This 1-hour online course hosted by Onset and developed by Mark Stetz, discusses how economizers should work - why they don't - and how to identify failures that are not apparent. A case study demonstrates rooftop unit evaluation using portable data loggers and Microsoft Excel. These methods can be applied to BAS data as well.

At the end of this course, attendees will be able to:

This course is intended for facility managers and operators, HVAC technicians, mechanical engineers, and commissioning agents. Participants should be familiar with air handler and rooftop unit operations and maintenance, temperature and humidity sensors, basic computer skills, and be able to use Microsoft Excel.

This course is approved for one GBCI credit hour. A Certificate of Completion will be provided for self-reporting to GBCI and other organizations
