TECA's Quality First Heat Recovery Ventilator course encompasses the proper design, installation, and commissioning and balancing of a Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV) or an Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV). This course expands on the BC Building Code 9.32 and 9.36 requirements, and participants will leave with a comfortable understanding of the function and purpose of a balanced ventilation system.

• Includes instruction and examples for applying two of the four acceptable ventilation systems described in the BC Building Code:
1. HRV with dedicated ventilation ductwork, and
2. HRV integrated with a forced-air heating system.
• Includes checklists:
1. System Design
2. Installation
3. Balancing & Commissioning

This course provides instruction to ensure that participants have the skills and knowledge to design, install and balance an HRV/ERV principal ventilation system. Manuals include technical information and documents necessary to meet requirements of Municipal Inspection Authorities. Successful participants will receive a registered number on a certificate, a wallet card and stamp.

NOTE: Course fees include 6 hours of instruction, the 2-hour exam, and the Quality First™ HRV/ERV manual, provided at the start of class. Software is not included

PLEASE NOTE THAT CURRENT VENTILATION CERTIFICATION IS A PREREQUSITE TO THIS COURSE.

IMPORTANT ENFORCEMENT REMINDER FROM THE CITY OF VANCOUVER: The HRV stamp will be required for projects that obtain their Building Permit after January 1st 2020. That means projects already under construction this year will not require the stamp.

• An HRV installation checklist to confirm acceptable sizing and installation
• An HRV commissioning checklist to confirm acceptable operation
• The checklists must be the most recent version developed by an approved industry organization such as TECA
• Each HRV checklist will require a valid HRV course stamp from an approved industry course provider such as TECA.

*HRV is meant to represent either an HRV or ERV

The BC Housing, Licensing and Consumer Services recognizes and approves TECA's Quality First Heat Recovery Ventilator Design & Installation course for Professional Development Points.
