Courses are generally taught online or in the evenings and/or on Saturdays by industry experienced professionals using as much hands-on experience as possible.

BOMA-Atlanta congratulates Joseph Powell for completing all five semesters of the Commercial HVAC program and being recognized at the Jan. 14 BOMA-Atlanta luncheon.
Commercial HVAC graduates are a physical representation of the successful partnership between Chattahoochee Technical College and BOMA-Atlanta. The BOMA Technical Organization (BTO) worked hand-in-hand with Chattahoochee Technical College in late 2006 to provide the special Commercial HVAC course for commercial building engineers. The course provided an opportunity for engineers to enhance their service skills through hands-on training, enabling them to become more proficient in their work environments.
“I can tell you we are making a difference. Enduring five quarters of schooling after a long day at work is not an easy thing for a building engineer to undertake. It takes a great deal of dedication and determination!” said Jim Gieselman, a Commercial HVAC course instructor.
Attendees of each of the five-semester courses met Thursdays from 5 to 9 p.m. for 10 weeks per semester to study a variety of practical topics, including commercial refrigeration systems, energy management, DDC controls, pneumatic calibration, cooling tower maintenance, air handlers, pumps, boilers and water and air balancing.
BOMA-Atlanta applauds the accomplishments of program graduates such as Joseph Powell and looks forward to continuing to build strong partnerships that enhance the professionalism and value of membership.
