This is a hands-on, dive-in deep bootcamp style training. is a NOT for everyone! It is specifically designed to take professionals from where they are to where they want to be in the shortest amount of time. Often clients refer to these three days as the toughest three days of their life…and they loved every bit of it.
This is not a fix-it class. Many managers want to send their worst person to get trained to help them perform. We have found this to be counter-productive in most cases. Send your top people first to this training and get the benefits of having your best at their best.
We intentionally limit enrollment in the trainings. We believe the smaller programs (16-18 people) are optimal. Trainings fill fast.

Modern building practices change nearly every year, with more insulation, better windows, tighter construction, etc. New duct installs encounter wild swings in fan capabilities (more than most people think), much larger areas served per ton, difficult customer limitations on fan/duct location, highly restrictive (and profitable) IAQ devices, and so on. How can we expect the old rules of thumb (or even new ones) to keep up with all of these variables? Obviously, we can’t. So how do we deal with these constant changes? By doing the math, or rather letting Wrightsoft’s Right Suite Universal (RSU) software do the math for you.
