AI is here—but what does that really mean for HVAC&R technicians? 🤔

Our presenter, Tyler Nelson, Instrumentation & Business Development Manager, Americas, for Sauermann NA believes AI is a tool, not a replacement. And on June 24, he will be presenting "AI and the HVAC&R Technician," to explain why.

Tyler will cover:
• AI and third-party applications
• AI as a fact-finder
• How to use AI in your HVAC&R system diagnostics, commissioning, etc.
• Practical on-site AI tips for your digital tool data

Attendees of the live session will receive a certificate for completing one (1) hour of continuing education or professional development after the conclusion of the webinar. Per RETA-RSES policy, attendees must be present for 90% of the webinar in order to receive a CEH/PDH certificate.

📅June 24 at 7 p.m. Eastern
