Testimonials

“We would like to thank RWI and the instructor Jack Zhou for a very beneficial two days of training. Although it is difficult to have your key designers out of the office for two days,  this course will benefit to McCallum HVAC Design as we expand our knowledge in Energy Modelling. It was very well invested time and money. Jack was an enthusiastic,  informative instructor.  He provided clear, practical examples and encouraged questions from the team to keep the group engaged, ensuring that they were understanding the information. Jack knows his stuff! We would highly recommend this course and look forward to other learning opportunities with RWI.”
