What Lies Ahead? Panelists : Kishor Khankari, Ph.D., ASHRAE DL David Schurk, P.E., ASHRAE DL Clay Renn, AAF/Flanders Gerry Nichols-Pagel, Ph.D., P.E. Moderator : Dan Russell, PE The COVID-19 pandemic took us all by surprise and impacted our lives in numerous ways. For the HVAC industry, the pandemic shined a bright spotlight on Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) and how our HVAC systems contribute to IAQ. With an urgency to find ways to help mitigate airborne transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, ASHRAE took a leadership role by creating it’s Epidemic Task Force, which quickly produced a helpful serious of guidelines and recommendations for building operators to apply to existing building HVAC systems. At the same time, a plethora of air cleaning technologies hit the marketplace, both new and old, with volume and ferocity as never seen before. With the advent of so many new guidelines and products being introduced as a result of the pandemic, it is helpful for us to reflect and ask some questions. . What have we learned about the importance of IAQ? Has the pandemic drive the industry to a better understanding of the impac HVAC systems have on IAQ? How effective are filters really? Do higher air change rates make for cleaner indoor spaces? Does sickness really get transmitted through the HVAC system? What should be the balance between optimizing indoor air quality and energy conservation? Is more outside air always better? What air cleaning technologies did the pandemic uncover as viable solutions moving forward? What are the challenges that lie ahead? How does a change in atmospheric CO2 levels impact Demand Control Ventilation strategies? How has the pandemic changed IAQ design & implementation for new buildings? With a hyper focus on IAQ are we at risk of underdeveloping healthy immune systems? Does simply following building codes and ventilation standards adequately accomplish ASHRAE’s vision for “a healthy and sustainable built environment for all?” Many of these questions and possibly questions you have will be discussed by this industry panel. We believe this is an extremely timely topic for our Society, our Chapter and our Idaho community. Please register today to join us and submit 1 or 2 questions during the registration process that you would like to be considered for inclusion in the question set for the panel. Looking forward to seeing you there! .
