[**Moving BTUs In Commercial Buildings: Comparing Water, Air & Refrigerants**](https://vts.inxpo.com/scripts/Server.nxp?LASCmd=AI:4;F:QS!10100&ShowKey=34878&AffiliateData=email1)

**When: November 8, 2016 at 2 PM EST**

Considering [HVAC system options](https://blogs.heattransfersales.com/blog/water-over-air) for commercial buildings is best evaluated by measuring the efficiency of transporting thermal energy around a building via water, air or refrigerants. This webinar will focus on the comparative performance of these HVAC system options using real world examples of metered data of the different systems and their comfort factor using occupants' actual ratings. The presentation will include a method to compare efficiencies of HVAC systems using AHRI equipment data.

**What participants will learn from this webinar:**

- How hydronics system energy efficiency compares with air and refrigerant systems
- How to compare the system comfort of hydronics against air and refrigerant systems
- What is the method to modify AHRI equipment efficiencies in order to compare different systems against each other

 What are some of the latest innovations in hydronic systems
