ACI Northwest 2007
DUR 3 - Integrating IAQ & Energy Efficiency in Multis
Wednesday, February 21, 2007 · 3:30 PM - 5:00 PMAny 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
