“We’re excited to partner with IAQA and offer our members additional resources that will help grow their businesses,” said NADCA Executive Director, Jodi Araujo, CEM. NADCA members will have access to a specially packaged group of online education classes from IAQA that will be priced at a deep discount. NADCA will recognize these online classes for CEC fulfillment at the time of certification renewal.

“Members of both IAQA and NADCA will benefit from the new partnership,” said Glenn Fellman, Executive Director of IAQA. “NADCA members will have access to IAQA University online classes which will certainly encourage more industry professionals to maintain their NADCA certification. IAQA members will be connected to the world’s best HVAC system cleaning and inspection contractors, including access to NADCA educational programs, publications and more,” said Fellman. On a local level, IAQA chapters are preparing to focus on HVAC system cleaning at upcoming workshops, relying on NADCA members’ expertise to teach about the nuances of NADCA’s recently released standard, ACR 2013.

“2014 is sure to be a productive year,” added Araujo. “We will be exhibiting and presenting at each other’s annual meeting—both of which will be held in March, and we will continue to work together to provide our respective members the educational tools and benefits to help them save money and be more effective in their marketplaces.”
