Stephen Midura, Building Efficiency Systems Branch Manager, and Paul Trygar ’96, Building Efficiency Systems Director, gave students a presentation on Building Automation and HVAC controls.
Mr. Midura also spoke of the value of a technical education like the one offered at Johnson College. Speaking from a managerial standpoint, Mr. Midura feels as though hands-on training offers individuals a vital understanding of and connection to every aspect of their field. He shared, “My technical background has allowed me to excel.”

Thanks for your information,
have a nice day.
A hands on approach is always the best way to learn a new job. Especially in the air conditioning business and construction aspect of it. Johnson College is already a step ahead of everyone else.
Johnson College is the key to make a talented person specializing technical course into a good installer such as air conditioning and more. This is very helpful for everyone else. Air conditioning WA offers every student to make the place more impressive in terms of technical.
Useful information, Good atmosphere makes good results. Air circulation plays an important role in keeping the atmosphere clean and safe.
Thanks for sharing this.
HVAC education is an increasingly important part of homebuilding and home improvements. This area of education is due for explosive growth as energy efficiency improves.
Training is needed, especially concerning new technologies, like multi-zoning, etc.
Efficiency will continue to improve, but still need qualifed people to install them correctly.
Thanks for your information,
Great team
Yup…hands on training is the single most affective way to learn. Everything is just a theory before the hands on training.
