The Home Ventilating Institute (HVI), a nonprofit association of the manufacturers of home ventilating products, has partnered with the 2007 HVAC Comfortech Seminar & Showcase, the premier residential and light commercial heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) forum, to produce a series of educational seminars focused on ventilation and indoor air quality.

“HVI’s goal is to increase awareness of ventilation as the primary solution to indoor air quality problems through seminars and business opportunity presentations”, said HVI Chairman Ola Wettergren, President of Fantech. “This is clearly the best opportunity HVI and its members have ever had to advance the value of residential ventilation for healthier living.” Comfortech is scheduled for Wednesday, September 26 through Saturday, September 29, 2007 at America’s Center in St. Louis, Missouri.

HVI will be sponsoring a seminar track “Putting the ‘V’ Back in HVAC” on Thursday and Friday, September 27-28. Seminars include four educational and informational sessions on ventilation issues, reveals the company’s press release. “Ventilation: The Best Solution to Improve Indoor Air Quality” will discuss how HVAC contractors can increase customer satisfaction and business opportunities with ventilation products. “Building Codes, Ventilation Rates & Certified Ventilation Performance” will help HVAC professionals understand building and energy codes and requirements and learn the value of ventilation products that have been rated for airflow, sound, and energy performance. “The Key to Ventilation Solutions that Work” explains the fundamentals of how to properly design and install ventilation products and provides information on ventilation education and training opportunities for HVAC professionals and others. “The Best Solution to Improve Indoor Air Quality” is a panel discussion including installing contractors, ventilation experts, and builders who will discuss how they have added value and increased sales through ventilation sales.
