ATTENDEES QUALIFY FOR A CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION OR 0.1 CONTINUING EDUCATIONAL UNITS (CEU) AFTER SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF A TEST FOR MYSCHNEIDER PORTAL MEMBERS.

This session will provide an overview of how pressure-independent balancing control valves (PIBCV) with embedded analytics work together to help mechanical engineers working on HVAC systems better design valves to achieve their client’s goals. Not limited to just energy savings, PIBCV advances can measure coil BTUs, remotely support commissioning, improve operational efficiencies and facilitate predictive maintenance of the hydronic system for the building’s owner and operator.

Explore how a “smart” actuator can turn a control valve into an energy valve and identify operational root-cause analysis for a user. Embedded analytics with open protocol support provides data to show how building systems operate and identify faults.  Understand what is needed to specify PIBCV with embedded analytics and resources for support.

Learning objectives:

• Define how PIBCV solutions work, and best practices for specifying them in HVAC systems.
• Obtain the ability to understand the benefits of PIBCV, such as decreased energy usage.
• Identify how to specify and size PIBCV.
• Learn to describe the key smart actuator analytic alarms and warnings.
