Overview

The basic applications for air doors/air curtains have changed little since their development. The applications discussed herein do not present an exhaustive list of applications for air doors/air curtains. The potential use of air doors/air curtains is only limited by the imagination and creativity of the engineer looking for a solution to an HVAC challenge.

In this course the student will learn some of the basic fundamental applications about air doors. Also, this course has been specifically provided using the Powered Aire, Inc. product literature as the "Basis-of-Design" for this course. In effect, this course is a virtual lunch-'n-learn wherein the student can learn about a product concept and actual manufacturers products at the same time.

The student is expected to read and review the material contained in the Air Door Applications & Powered Aire Product Awareness document provided with this course. For additional information about Powered Aire, Inc. products and applications the student can contact Powered Aire, Inc. or visit the Powered Aire, Inc. website (www.poweredaire.com) to find a local representative serving each territory.

The student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of twenty (20) questions at the end of this course to obtain PDH credits.

State Board Acceptance

This course can be used by professional engineers to fulfill PDH requirements mandated by state and provincial licensing boards. Decatur Professional Development is an approved provider of continuing education in all states that pre-approve course providers. In all other states that mandate continuing education for engineers, it is the individual engineer's responsibility to determine the suitability of activities for PDH credit. The state boards typically accept online* courses that cover technical, managerial** or ethical content and which are relevant to the practice of engineering. The course must have a clear purpose or objective with a content that will maintain, improve or expand the skills and knowledge of the licensee's field of practice. For questions about your mandatory PDH requirements, visit the website of your state licensing board.

*Online courses are accepted by all state licensing boards that mandate continuing education. Other than New York (which limits online courses to 18 PDH) and Iowa (which limits online courses to 6 PDH), there are no limits placed by other states on the number of hours that can be earned through online continuing education. Consult with your state licensing board if you have any questions about the acceptability of online courses.

**The New York State Board of Engineers does not accept general office management courses, but will accept project management courses that are offered by an approved provider and that are technical in nature and contribute to the engineer's professional practice.

Please Note: Continuing Education credits for this course are awarded as PDH (Professional Development Hour Credits).
