Summary
In this short episode, the HVAC School team members talk with Jim Bergmann (measureQuick) and Renee Tomlinson (ESCO) about the latest and greatest that they brought to their booths at the 7th Annual HVACR Training Symposium.
First, JD Kelly spoke with Renee about ESCO Institute's educational offerings. ESCO offers a mix of books and online training content, including new training for A3 refrigerants, a new CO2 (R-744) training manual, and the newly released second edition of System Performance. ESCO has been working with Visual 3D Academy to bring augmented reality (AR) training to the market. Beginners and advanced techs alike can find training material to benefit their careers, as ESCO offers courses on fundamentals for beginners and specialized knowledge for those with more industry experience. ESCO's HVACR Learning Network allows you to access all ESCO courses with a monthly subscription package or purchase access to individual courses, such as if you only need one or two courses of specialized training.
Then, Roman Baugh spoke with Jim Bergmann about the latest developments to measureQuick, especially as it has expanded in both breadth AND depth. The unlimited-use subscription has been a positive development that has been well-received, and Jim Bergmann's latest update in development aims to make the value even better with improvements to workflows (creating a hybrid between regular and guided workflows). Developments have also included improved support for VRF systems and all of those systems' operational considerations.
The core function of measureQuick is to bring visuals to data, and measureQuick is implementing AI to reduce user errors, such as when it comes to label-reading and ensuring that pressure-temperature data matches the system. User testing is also rigorous to ensure that the software works as intended and to minimize tech support calls for the app itself, and Jim has spent the past several months on user testing in advance of the update's rollout.

| 0:00.0 | Hey, this is the HVAC School podcast. I'm Brian. This is a short episode, and this episode is one of several short episodes that are booth interviews from the symposium. |
| 0:17.1 | So we had a really fun time with some of our team going around talking to the different vendors at the symposium. |
| 0:23.4 | And the vendors who are at the symposium are always really interesting people. |
| 0:26.4 | They send their best and brightest. |
| 0:28.2 | And that's what we're going to do today. |
| 0:29.3 | We're going to hear from them. |
| 0:31.6 | We're going to do probably a couple short episodes like this. |
| 0:34.3 | Big thanks to the Klos and HVAC school teams for doing this and for highlighting the |
| 0:39.4 | people who make the symposium possible. And if you want to find out more about the symposium, |
| 0:42.8 | go to HVACR school.com slash symposium. You can get the virtual ticket from this year and all the |
| 0:48.2 | previous years with one small fee. Or you can just find out more about next year as that comes out. But before we do this short |
| 0:57.4 | episode, we want to hear from our brand sponsors. Carrier and Carrier.com. I've been a carrier |
| 1:03.7 | dealer for many years. Carrier has their new green speed extreme super high efficiency heat pumps |
| 1:10.5 | out on the market now. |
| 1:12.2 | Find out more by going to carrier.com. |
| 1:15.6 | Refrigeration technologies and their viper pan and drain treatment. |
| 1:20.1 | Viper pan and drain treatment is a spray gel that you can put in your drain pan |
| 1:24.5 | in the bottom rows of the evaporator coil. |
| 1:26.8 | It utilizes enzyme-based |
| 1:28.9 | cleaning, which works on tough sludge, biofilm, and works wonders on our climate here in Florida, |
| 1:36.7 | unique challenges like bacterial zuglia, otherwise known as elephant's not. It's also non-toxic and |
| 1:42.9 | food safe. It's been shown to outlast traditional drain tabs and lubricates the drain assembly to keep those drains clear. |
