Course Description
Do you often have to face frustrated or angry tenants because their leased spaces are too hot, too cold or a combination of both in one space? Do you wish you knew more about how your buildings are cooled? Do you need to better understand what your maintenance techs or HVAC contractors are supposed to do to prevent down time, hot spaces, and high energy bills?
This course from IREM will answer all these questions and more, including how to know when it’s time to recommend the replacement of older, less efficient HVAC equipment.
HVAC repair and maintenance are significant drivers of operating expenses at most properties. High utility costs are most often attributed to these systems, and replacement of HVAC equipment is one of the largest capital expenditures a property owner experiences. Tenants often cite a lack of comfort as a leading cause of employee complaints and even the reason for non-renewal of leases. All property managers should have a basic understanding of these concepts.
Learning objectives:
- Eliminate hot spaces, down time, and high energy bills
- Learn the basics of HVAC
- Discover how to resolve typical HVAC issues
- Understand when it’s time to replace your HVAC system
