HVAC Elements (O’Connor Company, G&R Controls and Balancing Professionals) is hosting an "HVAC in Schools" Education Symposium. The goal of this symposium would be to provide school administration and facility staff with current best practices and industry standards on heating, air conditioning, ventilation, proper indoor air quality and preventive maintenance in schools. We envision administrators and facility staff will leave feeling more equipped and confident when reviewing proposals, discussing building HVAC matters and making decisions regarding capital improvements and maintenance.
The Daikin Roadshow and showcase will be on display throughout the duration of the event for attendees to view and ask additional questions.
Event is free of charge, but we ask you to register for planning purposes.
