Proposed Session Description
The conventional solution to maintaining IAQ is to increase ventilation of outdoor air into the building. However, facilities managers tell us that heating and cooling outside air, and cleaning it, often comes with an economic and carbon penalty. It is energy intensive and expensive, especially in cities with (if only occasionally) poor air quality. This session will discuss some of the new methods and technologies that can greatly reduce the energy and carbon used to address these challenges.
Why is this session important?
IAQ affects the health and productivity of everyone in a building and therefore drives cost for all sectors. However, IAQ solutions that use too much energy or add carbon to the atmosphere are self-defeating. New solutions must be applied.
