How Tempcon Customizes On-Site HVAC Controls Training

Tempcon customizes its on-site seminars around three inputs: the types of HVAC and control systems in your facility, the backgrounds and needs of your personnel, and your own mechanical rooms and system drawings. The company states that during these programs it can also address specific HVAC control and system problems at your facility at no additional charge. This format suits institutional clients—government and military sites, universities, colleges, hospitals, public schools, and larger companies—that want training matched to equipment they actually operate rather than a generic curriculum.

What "Customized" Means in Practice

Tempcon describes its on-site seminars as built to meet the systems in your facility and the backgrounds of your staff. That means the starting point is not a fixed slide deck but an assessment of what you run and who you're training.

Two variables drive the adjustment:

• Facility systems — the specific HVAC control and system types present in your buildings
• Personnel — the experience level and needs of the people attending

A group of experienced technicians and a group of newer building operators would not get the same program, because the content is aimed at the audience in front of it.

Using Your Own Building as the Classroom

Rather than relying only on generic examples, Tempcon uses your mechanical rooms and your HVAC system drawings alongside its training simulators. The stated goal is a more realistic program.

This matters because institutional facilities rarely match textbook layouts. Working from your own drawings and equipment lets attendees connect lessons to the systems they maintain daily, and it gives the instructor real context for explaining how a given control sequence or pneumatic setup behaves in your buildings.

Handling Your Facility's Actual Problems

Tempcon states that during its programs it can address specific HVAC control and system problems at your facility without additional charge. In other words, troubleshooting your real issues is treated as part of the training rather than a separate paid engagement.

For a facility with a persistent control problem, this turns the seminar into both instruction and a working session on a live issue.

How the Seminars Are Positioned

Tempcon says it has provided these programs for over 45 years to more than 7,500 attendees, and offers up to six different weeks of Institutional DDC, HVAC, and Pneumatic controls systems training.

The company also states that its sole business is providing training and that it has no affiliation with any HVAC controls or systems manufacturer or service provider. That independence is relevant if you want instruction that isn't tied to a particular product line.

When This Format Fits

On-site customization is likely a good match if:

• Your facility runs institutional HVAC and control systems (DDC, pneumatic, or both)
• You want training built around your equipment and drawings, not a vendor's product
• Your staff have mixed experience levels that need to be accommodated
• You have specific control or system problems you'd like examined during the training

If you need a standard open-enrollment course instead, Tempcon also describes regional training seminars. For either path, the company invites you to contact it to discuss your training needs.
