DUR 6 - Mechanical Ventilation Systems: Effectiveness & Operating Costs
Thursday, February 22, 2007 · 1:20 PM - 2:50 PM
When done right, mechanical ventilation can improve air quality and prevent building failures. When done wrong, it can cause more problems than it solves... and increase utility bills. Learn about system design, installation details, controls, occupant education, and maintenance that make a big difference in long-term system performance and reliability. Examine the cost of operation with different ventilation strategies.
By attending this session, participants will
- Recognize the importance of occupant education to ensure that a system is operated and maintained
- Learn the potential and limitations of different types of mechanical ventilation systems
- Improve your ability to install a system that will perform as expected over the long term
