Every day the word "Green" enters our lives. We read about Green in the news, we see it on TV and we hear about it on the radio, but what is it and how does it affect us?

When it comes to mechanicals, (HVAC, Plumbing and Electrical) "Green" means maximizing the energy efficiency of existing equipment, specifying the most efficient systems available for the application and the available budget, using renewable and sustainable fuel sources, and conserving water.

Both commercial and residential owners want to be Green and reduce energy consumption. In fact, everyone wants to reduce their energy costs.

Consumers want contractors and technicians to be aware of the various methods employed in reducing energy consumption and conserving water. They want contractors and technicians who are knowledgeable about energy conserving methods and new technologies.
Training contractors and technicians in Green technologies requires that HVACR trainers undergo training in: Green concepts, Terminologies, Systems, and The latest in Green mechanical technology. HVACR educators and trainers can learn to teach Green technologies through the Green Awareness Train the Trainer program.

A Green Awareness train the trainer program is scheduled during the HVAC Excellence National HVACR Educators and Trainers Conference. The presentation will be conducted by Richard Benkowski, a sales engineer for Carrier Corporation and trainer for the United Association.

The Green Awareness program is one of nearly thirty training sessions conducted during the conference. Many of the sessions deal with efficiency issues. When systems are installed and serviced correctly, they reduce energy consumption.

Mr. Benkowski's Green Awareness program and the National HVACR Educators and Trainers Conference will be held at the Imperial Palace Hotel in Las Vegas, NV. March 8th - 10th, 2009. The cost of the conference is $189 which includes: Admission to all training sessions, Admission to all general sessions, Admission to exhibits, Green Awareness Certification offered free of charge, Certified Master HVACR Educators Certification Exams offered free of charge, 2 plated breakfast, and 2 plated luncheons.
