Morton Grove, Ill. — March 10, 2016 — Earn credits toward green building certification through Xylem’s industry-leading training at its Bell & Gossett Little Red Schoolhouse (LRSH).

The LRSH’s one-of-a-kind, systems-based training approach provides industry professionals with hands-on training and holistic solutions to customers in the HVAC industry.
The in-person courses deliver knowledge on the latest advancements in centrifugal pumps and HVAC system design, and qualify for industry credentialing requirements. Since 1954, the state-of-the-art learning center has trained more than 60,000 professionals in the proper design, installation, and maintenance of hydronic and steam systems.
“As B&G marks its centennial in 2016 and looks ahead to the next century, it will continue offering world-class training to the HVAC industry,” said Larry Konopacz, manager, training and education, Xylem.
