Massachusetts Energy Efficiency Partnership (MAEEP) is offering a series of webinars that will introduce the fundamental concepts and equipment for heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), with a focus on commercial and institutional buildings.
They will teach the basics of heat transfer and human comfort, estimating heating and cooling loads, different types of thermal energy distribution systems and HVAC equipment, control systems, indoor air quality, and how these topics relate to energy efficiency and electrification.
Some of the sessions will build on each other, but you may choose to participate in any or all of them.
The slides and a recording of each session will be available to all who register. Registration is free and open to all.
Session 6:Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Fundamentals & IAQ-based Energy Reduction – Wednesday 3/11, 10:00-11:30AM
Introduction to the components of air quality (particulates, microbial, gases), technologies (ventilation, filters, bi-polar ionization, photo catalytic oxidation, ultraviolet germicidal irradiation, DCV, etc) that can improve the air that occupants breath, and how these solutions relate to energy consumption of the HVAC system.
