On Demand Seminars
Several state licensing boards approve the use of the IACET process as evidence that a presentation is non-commercial and has educational value for the engineer. The IACET process requires that we can show each individual who wants to claim CEU’s has achieved the learning objectives of the seminar at an acceptable level. For Carrier’s Pre-Recorded Seminar series this is done by taking an online Knowledge Check.
To watch the presentations, take the Knowledge Check and receive a certificate for this program, follow the steps below.
- Sign-up using this link: https://training.carrieruniversity.com/login/signup.php?org=seminarsignup.
- Create an account with the Seminar Access Key “DEMAND”. After you submit you will then be directed to login.
- If you have an account, you can go directly to the login page: https://training.carrieruniversity.com/login/index.php.
- This login provides access to all the available On-Demand training.
- If you take other courses through Carrier University Online, please use the same email address for each course, this will allow us to provide a transcript of courses you have attended with us.
- Seminars are in five categories: Fundamentals, Applications, Systems, Standards and Technology. Select category and topic you are interested in. Enroll as an On-Demand Participant with the key “DEMAND”. This is all in capital letters.
- Watch the video presentation and take the Knowledge Check and click submit. Passing requires a score of 80%. The Knowledge Check may be taken as many times as you wish.
- Please take the anonymous seminar evaluation. When the evaluation is complete you may print your certificate.
- If you are registered in FL, NC or NY, we need to capture your PE number, fill in the information when you create your account or edit these in your profile
- If you are registered in NC, you will be prompted to complete the North Carolina evaluation.
If you have login problems or sessions do not appear in your “Find Learning” tab contact us at [email protected] or 800-644-5544.
Important Note: Per IACET requirements you must complete the Knowledge Check and print your certificate within 60 days of the enrollment date.

Description
Designers often think that determining comfort conditions is as easy as using 75°F and 50% RH for design conditions. However, if you are doing a LEED® analysis the ASHRAE 55 Standard must be used to define comfort conditions. The standard requires looking at six primary factors and using the predicted mean vote procedure that determine if comfort conditions will be achieved. In addition it evaluates these conditions at different seasons of the year. This presentation provides guideline on how to comply with the standard and the methods used in a LEED® analysis.

Description
ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 62.1 “Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality” endeavors to achieve the necessary balance between IAQ and energy consumption by specifying minimum ventilation rates and IAQ that will be acceptable to human occupants. This seminar addresses the three components of the standard, source control, filtration and dilution. The various types of filtration and how they can help compensate for outside air quality and how filtration can be used to improve system efficiency are also covered.

Description
A constant flow system is the simplest chilled water design to operate. Constant speed pumps provide a fixed quantity of water to the system at all times, controlled by 3-way valve control at the air handler coils. At low load building operation, the chilled water flow is by-passed around these coils. This seminar discusses the benefits and disadvantages of a constant flow design, comparing various chilled water supply temperatures and return chilled water options. The impact of energy use of these options will be demonstrated.

Description
The Montreal Protocol had a major impact on our industry and today's concerns over GWP now appear to have the potential for similar changes. The US Government continues to push for regulations that will address the GWP issue and refrigerants are often considered in these regulations. Consulting engineers need to know the whole story and understand when and how it might impact their designs. This seminar will address the choices of refrigerants and the scope of the regulations and codes that impact refrigerant choices for chillers now and in the future.
