  Rethinking Outdoor Air: The Science of Cleaner, More Efficient Ventilation

  Presented by:

  

  For years, most buildings have operated under the same rule:
  “Bring in as much outdoor air as possible — it’s the cleanest air there is.”
  But that idea no longer holds true. Outdoor air isn’t always clean — think smog, traffic emissions, or wildfire smoke. And constantly conditioning that air (heating, cooling, and filtering it) costs a lot of energy. This webinar explores the ASHRAE Indoor Air Quality Procedure approach, the global authority on indoor air standards, that focuses on cleaning and reusing indoor air more efficiently.

  

  Presenter: James Atkinson
