Dear Friends of Tru-Tech Tools,

Tru-Tech Tools working with the Northeast HERS Alliance (“Alliance”) Board of Directors and Staff are proud to announce a RESNET Professional Development and BPI Continuing Education seminar on January 12th titled: “Combustion Principles & Safety Testing”.

The Presenter will be Mr. Bill Spohn of Tru-Tech Tools. Bill has designed and marketed a wide array of products in the last twenty-five years. He has presented to a variety of audiences on the applications of testing and measurement instrumentation in building science, weatherization, and HVAC. Bill is affiliated with GAMA, OMA, ASHRAE, RSES, NATE, BPI, and ACCA committees, and holds three US patents.

Advance your knowledge of combustion and diagnostic procedures that are used to determine if vented and unvented combustion appliances are operating safely. Understand how carbon monoxide is formed, which appliances are the most hazardous, and what tools and procedures are used to diagnose systems and ensure safe operation.

Learning Objectives:
1. Discover the basics of combustion and carbon monoxide emissions for both vented and unvented appliances;
2. Learn about carbon monoxide emissions testing for household combustion appliances; and,
