Event Details

Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) is one of many factors that determine building functionality and economics. Good IAQ plays a vital role in creating a healthy, safe and productive workplace. During this one-day course, the trainer will discuss the issues and problems of poor IAQ and how the problems can be mitigated through effective HVAC system design and practices, and deployment of advanced air cleaning technologies. Strategies for containment of COVID-19 spread in buildings will be shared and discussed. Healthy people in healthy places is key to rebuilding our global economy.



Objectives


The participants of this course will acquire the following skills:

  • Understanding of various factors which impact IAQ.
  • Fundamental knowledge of building related illnesses, their causes and effects.
  • Adoption of a holistic integrated approach in designing of building systems to improve occupant health and well-being.
  • Development of creative HVAC system design skills to maximize IAQ and energy performance.
  • Understanding COVID-19 pathology and transmission pathways and deployment of cost-effective mitigation strategies.
