The National Air Duct Cleaners Association trained and certified its first class of HVAC inspectors at its annual meeting in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., March 4-8.

The HVAC Inspectors Program held during Indoor Environments 2003 is designed to equip individuals with the knowledge they need to assess the cleanliness and physical condition of a commercial building’s HVAC system. Attendees receive a comprehensive training manual that includes system component checklists created based on the Environmental Protection Agency’s I-BEAM program.

The NADCA plans to periodically offer additional training and certification opportunities. Call (202) 737-2926.
