PES Program: Hospital Design
 

 
More and more central utility plants are applying heat pumps. Reduced heating costs can achieve simple payback periods within a year. Heat pumps can also help reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 50% compared to traditional heating and cooling systems. This session will review how hospitals can benefit from application of this technology. >more

Earn PDH Credits at each Meeting!

 

You can earn 2.5 Professional Development Hours (PDH) by attending our afternoon PES Program. PDH credits often fulfill state requirement for PE license renewal. They are occasionally required by employers as well. You will get an official ASHRAE certificate, type-written, if you sign up for the PES by at least the Friday prior to the meeting. Otherwise, contact a member of the Programs Committee, and a certificate can be arranged after the program. Certificates are not handed out until after the PES is concluded.

Please check with your local state license board for renewal
requirements. Some states accept several credit programs, including PDH's. Other states may not, or require different programs such as CEUs or AIA-sponsored credits. Please note that PDH's do not convert into other forms of credit.
