ACGIH® Presents Fundamentals in Industrial Ventilation and Practical Applications of Useful Equations Courses



Cincinnati, Ohio - ACGIH® and its renowned Industrial Ventilation Committee present two continuing education courses in April.

Fundamentals in Industrial Ventilation will be held April 11-13, 2011, and Practical Applications of Useful Equations will be held April 14-15, 2011 at the ACGIH® Professional Learning Center in Cincinnati, Ohio. Earlybirds who register for either course on or before March 14, 2011 will save $100.00; those who register for both courses by the earlybird deadline will save over $200.

Fundamentals in Industrial Ventilation is a three-day course that covers both basic and advanced topics related to industrial ventilation including:

  • The behavior of air and chemical contaminants in the air
  • Industrial process exhaust systems
  • Make-up and supply air ventilation systems
  • Dilution ventilation systems
  • Selection and design of exhaust hoods, ducts, fans, stacks, and air cleaners
  • Troubleshooting and testing of existing systems
  • Hands-on testing and measurements

    Course participants will receive ACGIH®'s Industrial Ventilation: A Manual of Recommended Practice for Design, 27th Edition, Industrial Ventilation: A Manual of Recommended Practice for Operation and Maintenance and Companion Study Guide to Industrial Ventilation: A Manual of Recommended Practice for Design, 27th Edition, ACGIH® and other Spreadsheet Programs that perform calculations and equations covered in the primary workbooks provided with the course, including ventilation system design, a CD-ROM with copies of classroom PowerPoint presentations, copies of labs and exercises along with supplementary course materials, and course handouts. It is recommended that attendees bring a laptop or a notebook to the course.

    Practical Applications of Useful Equations is a two-day course that serves as the perfect add-on to Fundamentals in Industrial Ventilation. This course closely follows the workbook supplied, and includes:

  • Calculation and estimation approaches related to airborne contaminants
  • TLV® and TWA
  • OA for dilution, fans, system testing, sound and noise, ergonomics, radiation, ventilation, statistics, chemistry, etc.
  • A calculations lab in which participants work in a team environment

    Course participants are required to complete Fundamentals in Industrial Ventilation prior to taking this course. Materials received include Jeff Burton's Useful Equations and Industrial Hygiene Workbook, course handouts, ACGIH® and other Spreadsheet Programs that perform calculations and equations covered in the primary workbooks provided with the course, including ventilation system design, a CD-ROM with copies of classroom PowerPoint presentations, copies of labs and exercises along with supplementary course materials. It is recommended that attendees bring a laptop or a notebook to the course.

    Fundamentals in Industrial Ventilation is pending approval by the American Board of Industrial Hygiene for 3.50 ABIH Certification Maintenance (CM) Points. This workshop qualifies for 1.74 BCSP Continuance of Certification (COC) Points for Certified Safety Professionals. Practical Applications of Useful Equations is pending approval by the American Board of Industrial Hygiene for 2.33 ABIH Certification Maintenance (CM) Points, and qualifies for 1.16 BCSP Continuance of Certification (COC) Points for Certified Safety Professionals. Certificates of Completion will be presented at the conclusion of the course.
