Unveiling the HVAC/R connection

By Jesse Sanchez.

Explore the vital link between HVAC/R and metal construction to enhance efficiency, sustainability and performance.

For those in the metal construction industry, understanding HVAC/R (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration) is not just an advantage — it’s essential. The efficiency of a building’s HVAC/R system is closely tied to its envelope, impacting energy efficiency, sustainability and overall occupant comfort. But how does it all connect?

In the upcoming MetalTalk™, "HVAC/R and its Role in the Building Envelope," industry expert Greg Guse, director of engineering at Malco Tools, joins host Heidi J. Ellsworth to break down the fundamentals of HVAC/R and its integration into modern metal buildings. Whether you’re an experienced contractor, a metal fabricator looking to expand your services or someone curious about optimizing HVAC performance, this is a must-attend webinar.

Why HVAC/R Knowledge is a game-changer

From heating and cooling components to ventilation strategies and metalforming for HVAC/R applications, this discussion will provide a deep look into key aspects of the field. Understanding HVAC/R isn’t just for specialists — it’s a valuable skill set for metal construction professionals looking to expand their services, optimize building performance and enhance sustainability efforts.

Key topics include:

• The core components of HVAC/R systems: furnaces, heat pumps, air conditioners, ducts, vents and more.
• The critical role of ventilation, from natural to mechanical and balanced strategies.
• How refrigeration supports cooling, storage and energy efficiency.
• The building envelope’s impact on HVAC performance, including insulation, airtightness and window placement.
