TACO Tuesdays are firing up again for the fall.  Join TACO experts Rich Medeiros, PE and Brett Zerba every other Tuesday at noon to learn more about commercial HVAC systems. They have residential webinars on alternate Tuesday if you happen to need residential system information.  These fact-filled training webinars keep HVAC system design engineers up-to-date on HVAC systems, products, tools and technologies.  Every time you attend a live webinar, you will receive one PDH credit.  It's a productive way to spend a lunch hour.
