IAQ Control for Healthy, Resilient, Low Energy Buildings
Decades of evidence indicate that current minimum standards for indoor air quality (IAQ) are responsible for avoidable healthcare costs and productivity losses resulting from normal levels of indoor air contaminants. Recent experience also shows that buildings designed to such standards lack the resilience to protect occupants effectively during infectious disease outbreaks and outdoor air events like wildfires. However, while there is growing recognition that IAQ standards and best practices should change, there is also concern that improving IAQ will increase the energy consumption of buildings and impede progress toward environmental protection goals. This program will review some of the fundamental concerns regarding current IAQ standards and explore methods for improving IAQ with little or no adverse impact on energy use. In particular, it will consider the potential for more extensive and sophisticated use of dynamic IAQ control to deliver high indoor environmental quality where and when it is needed.

Mitsubishi Electric - Utility Incentives: Driving Tomorrow’s Energy-Efficient Infrastructure
Driven by sustainability efforts, legislation and consumer demand, utility companies are challenged with meeting energy reduction mandates. In many states, regulations are getting more stringent and some policies require alternative compliance payments for utility companies that don't hit their mandate goals. As a result, utilities have created programs to incentivize energy efficiency among commercial end users, creating both opportunities and challenges. In this webinar, speakers James DeBerry and Kevin DeMaster explore the ins and outs of incentive programs and rebates as well as address HVAC manufacturers' response — their efforts to benefit both end users and utilities.
Objectives:
- Learn why utility companies offer incentives in response to energy reduction mandates.
- Understand how utility incentive programs work and what challenges and opportunities they introduce for HVAC professionals.
- Understand Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) technology and how these systems create opportunities for incentives and rebates.
- Understand how manufacturers are supporting utilities in energy reduction efforts.
