Topic: Dedicated Outdoor Air Systems
Speaker: Dr. Stanley Mumma
Speaker Biography:
Dr. Stanley Mumma is currently Professor Emeritus of Architectural Engineering at Pennsylvania State University. Prior to joining Penn State in 1984, he was a General Motors Corporation project engineer for three years between his undergraduate studies in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Cincinnati, and his graduate work at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Since earning his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering in 1974, under the mentorship of Dr. Will Stoecker, he has also held faculty positions at Ohio State University and Arizona State University. In the first third of his academic career, his research focused principally on solar and alternate energy. Then his interests changed to innovative ways of meeting ASHRAE Standard 62 in an energy efficient fashion. That work has led to his current intense interest in dedicated outdoor air systems (DOAS). He writes extensively on the subject (see http://doas-radiant.psu.edu/papers.html). Two of his publications were recipients of ASHRAE best paper awards. He has also received ASHRAE’s Distinguished Service Award, the E.K. Campbell Award of Merit, and the grade of Fellow. Currently, Dr. Mumma is a member of several Technical Committees and the Society Publishing Committee.

The IGSHPA Drillers Training Course Plus contains the same ten lessons that are in the IGSHPA Installers Training Course, plus additional lessons such as how to cost out and bid the vertical heat exchanger outside the building; new and retrofit water-towater and water-to-air closed-loop geothermal heat pump systems; interior piping design; circulator pump selection; and flushing and purging of the system. This course will also explain crosslinked polyethylene (PEXa) pipe and ASTM F2080 compressionsleeve fittings, approved materials which were added to the IGSHPA Design and Installation Standards Manual in 2008.
Upon successful completion of the training course and passing the IGSHPA Vertical Loop Installer open-book exam, you will be issued an IGSHPA accredited vertical loop installer course certificate and wallet card. Certification training and testing for assembly of F2080 fittings will also be offered for no additional fee.
