The week on HVAC 360 we have a very hot topic for you and this involves standards that are being proposed by the ICC that effect all of the current commissioning certification programs.  We have Gerry Kettler talking to us today as a member of the ICC committee and also as someone who is heavily involved in the commissioning standards for ASHRAE.  One thing to keep in mind is that this standard is out for public comment until mid-May so get your two cents in and if you think anyone else is interested, forward the show and have them comment as well.  Hope you like this topic, if you do let me know, Enjoy.
