    This course addresses the role of HVAC systems in helping to reduce Hospital Associated Infections (HAI), by explaining airborne vs contact transmission, and by showing that Hospital HVAC systems can either help or hinder efforts to reduce HAI through filtration, air patterns, air changes, dilution, temperature, humidity, UV, and pressurization.

    The course will also address production and dispersal of airborne infectious particles (such as Legionella and SARS-CoV-2), how people may be infected by such particles, and methods to control such particles. Operational issues and their effect on the design of central utility plants for healthcare facilities are discussed as well. Part two of the course will define the ventilation system design requirements as per Standard ANSI/ASHRAE/ASHE 170-2021 and ASHRAE Standard 241-2023.

    Who Should Attend?

    HVAC Designers and consultants, mechanical engineers working on healthcare construction or retrofits, commissioning agents and TAB professionals, healthcare facility directors, managers and engineers, hospital project managers and owners’ representatives, as well as architects with a focus on healthcare. Also suitable for code officials and inspectors

    You Will Learn To:

    • Identify the key elements of a high-performing hospital and define Role of HVAC systems in high-performing hospitals.
    • Understand the importance of the HVAC system in infection control
    • To refamiliarize the attendant with the detailed Engineering designs that can help or hurt achieving this high performance.
    • Learn about ASHRAE Std. 170-2021 & ASHRAE Std. 241-2023
    • Define the requirement HVAC system parameters such as temperature, air changes, humidity & filtration for specific hospital rooms.
    • Recognize factors related to enhancing the high performance, particularly in Operating Rooms, Imaging Suites, laboratories, Pharmacies and Airborne Infectious Isolation.
    • Understand the impacts of high-performance design on the improved patient safety, Healthcare facility quality and improved outcome.

    This course offers comprehensive guidance for utilizing the IAQ procedure outlined in ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 62.1-2022. It covers various aspects of design, including considerations related to indoor air quality (IAQ), indoor and outdoor contaminants, pollutant indicators, threshold values, mass balance analysis, as well as the criteria for both objective and subjective measurements. Additionally, it examines the provisions necessary for compliance with ASHRAE Standard 241.

    Furthermore, the course provides detailed insights into the calculations needed for single-zone and multi-zone scenarios, incorporating different filter placements. These calculations are facilitated through an open-source calculator. Lastly, the course explores the advantages and benefits associated with the IAQP (Indoor Air Quality Procedure).

    Who Should Attend?

    This course is designed for This course is intended for mid-career professionals (3–10 years’ experience) involved in designing or managing HVAC systems and indoor air quality. It is ideal for:

    • HVAC and Air Quality Engineers aiming to optimize energy performance and occupant health.
    • Facility Managers seeking advanced knowledge in performance-based ventilation strategies.
    • Architects and Environmental Designers wanting to integrate IAQ principles into high-performance building design.
    • Project and Construction Managers focused on exceeding sustainability, IAQ, and efficiency standards from project inception.

    Participants will learn to align indoor air quality with energy and carbon reduction goals, while enhancing resilience to outdoor pollutants.

    You Will Learn To:

    • Explain the requirements of ANSI/ASHRAE 62.1 for the IAQP
    • Know when evaluation of additional compounds is required
    • Generate ideas of how to control various systems
    • Understand a comparison of energy model projections from designs using the Multiple Space Equations, DOAS designs using the 100% outdoor air equation, and the IAQP
    • Explain the steps for measuring the performance of the IAQP system

    District energy is a secret weapon for climate action and human health. This course teaches the basics of district cooling systems and also bring benefits across the sustainable development agenda—improving human health by cutting air pollution, increasing access to affordable and clean energy, and creating green and decent jobs.

    The course presents practical guidance ensuring that when designed and operated properly, DCS can be an energy-efficient alternative to conventional in-building chilled water plant adding to an owner’s sustainability portfolio and allowing the building owner to focus on their own business, rather than operating and maintaining a chilled water plant.

    Who Should Attend?

    Designers who are responsible for specification, design or installation of district cooling systems. Owners and Operating staff who are responsible for the decision to transition to district cooling.

    You Will Learn To:

    • Understand the basic components of a District Cooling System (DCS) and how these components interact.   
    • Appreciate the complexity of the planning process for a DCS and the players that must be involved for success.
    • Grasp the fundamental processes and equipment of the DCS central plant and the basic options.
    • For the chilled water distribution systems, know the basic construction materials used for piping and appurtenances and their advantages and disadvantages.
    • Know the important factors that should be conveyed to building owners when considering DC to serve their buildings.
