Albert Einstein &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; The message is clear, HVAC equipment is often the largest energy-consuming system in a home. &amp;nbsp; While listeners likely know about blower door and duct leakage tests, what impact do blower Watt draw and refrigerant charge on HVAC energy use? &amp;nbsp; What can we learn from an HVAC expert with so much experience?   Today\u2019s podcast continues down the technical trail with the last installment of a three-part series on cracking open the details of the ANSI\/RESNET\/ACCA\/ICC Standard 310.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Previous podcasts covered the other aspects of this standard: Episode 99 with Alex Meaney (MeanHVAC) on HVAC System design Episode 105 with Steve Rogers (TEC) on Duct leakage and AirFlow &amp;nbsp; We are joined by Jim Bergmann, President of MeasureQuick and an HVAC system measurements and diagnostics expert. &amp;nbsp; Jim takes the listener on a deep, technical dive. He introduces us to the technology used to measure blower fan watt draw and refrigerant charge and the power of proper diagnostic methods and techniques. &amp;nbsp; After listening, you will better understand the \u201cwhy and how\u201d of getting these important parameters properly dialed in. &amp;nbsp; Here are some links related to today\u2019s podcast:: &amp;nbsp; The written RESNET\/ANSI\/ACCA\/ICC standard 310:https:\/\/www.resnet.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/ANSIRESNETACCA_310-2020_v7.1.pdf &amp;nbsp; How Quality Installation Impacts Equipment: How RESNET Standard 310 helps:  https:\/\/www.energy.gov\/sites\/prod\/files\/2020\/06\/f75\/bbrn-peer-032620.pdf &amp;nbsp; A video on how to do the Non-Invasive System Test (checking charge without gauges): https:\/\/youtu.be\/gOzep_Ayyr0 &amp;nbsp; Software that helps: www.MeasureQuick.com &amp;nbsp; You can also reach our guest via email: Jim@MeasureQuick.com &amp;nbsp; RESTalk: To the RESNET community, we hear you and want to engage.
