ACI Northwest 2007

DUR 3 - Integrating IAQ & Energy Efficiency in Multis

Wednesday, February 21, 2007 · 3:30 PM - 5:00 PM

Any effort to increase the air tightness of a building needs to address indoor air quality concerns. Explore air leakage control strategies in multifamily buildings and how they vary in response to the building height. Hear results from a monitored warm roof project to address durability and energy efficiency. Learn techniques for providing mechanical ventilation to existing multifamily buildings to meet the occupants’ / building needs and to minimize energy losses. The effectiveness of exhaust only, multiport fans, and heat recovery ventilation systems will be explored.

By attending this session, participants will

Increase your appreciation for integrated solutions that address energy efficiency, indoor air quality, and building durability
Recognize techniques that can be used to reduce air leakage in typical multifamily buildings in the Pacific Northwest
Be aware of the opportunity to improve building performance and efficiency through modifications to oversized ventilation systems
