About this episode
Let me take you back to a time, long, long ago, when Jim Bergmann did not understand everything in HVAC.
Listen in as we delve into the story of Jim Bergmann and how the communities of HVAC, and more recently building science, helped to encourage and challenge Jim to become the HVAC guru that we know today.
From his self-described times of annoying the crap out of Bill Spohn, to his overlapping experiences as a contractor, educator, product specialist, TruTech Tools founder, iManifold designer, and mQ master…Jim has had, no he has created, a unique career ladder to find his reason for being.
We get into a couple of mQ topics including the new guided workflows (coming shortly) to the topic of data quality and data integrity that drove the need for paid tests.
Here is a cool quote from this Episode: "Don't service the mistakes you sell."
We finish up with some forward-looking advice Jim gives to contractors and equipment and tool manufacturers.
