NCI Instructor Highlight: David Richardson

David joined the National Comfort Institute (NCI) full time in 2010 as a curriculum developer and trainer. In this role, he developed and taught practical, real-world training focused on the HVAC and Home Performance industries.

He has been involved in High-Performance HVAC™ contracting since 2001 while working in his family’s contracting business.

David Richardson

He’ll tell you that his introduction to High-Performance HVAC was not easy, but the careful mentoring provided by NCI President Rob Falke and the subsequent experience allowed him to recognize the opportunity to diagnose and correct many HVAC and home performance issues. Nine years later he brought his talents and skills to NCI.

Today David is vice president of training. He took over many of the responsibilities of managing the curriculum side of NCI’s business after the passing of Rob Falke.

In addition, David writes monthly columns for other industry publications to help increase awareness on the importance of high performance testing.

David is also a regular presenter at many industry conferences, including the HVAC Symposium, AHR Exposition, and NCI’s High-Performance HVAC Summit, working to spread the message of high performance contracting.

Besides holding all NCI certifications, he has held certifications as a HERS rater, BPI building analyst, and is a BPI field and written exam proctor.
