Webinar Recording: Toward Healthier Buildings: Humidification

Описание: The Nature of Humidity and the Built Environment is a one hour AIA HSW accredited educational session presented by Dan Hahne, Varitec’s Director of High Performance HVAC Solutions.

The Sonoran Desert is known for having a dry heat, yet controlling humidity continues to be problematic for building owners especially during monsoon season. To control humidity, building design teams must have an understanding of the physics of water vapor. Conventional HVAC systems supplying 55F DB / 54F WB air in our Sonoran Desert climate zone will dehumidify at a cooling coil, but often fail to control building humidity levels during high humidity ambient conditions and will likely present more of a challenge unless the supply air condition is reconsidered when more innovative high-performance systems are laid out.

Topics to be covered include:

Fundamentals of HVAC Part 1: Review
The Nature of Water
The States of Water
Terms and Definitions
The Physics of Water Vapor (Every Architect Should Know)
Dan’s Home Office and Water Vapor Flow: Wet Moves to Dry
ASHRAE: Position Document on Infectious Aerosols
Humidity: Toward healthier environments
Humidity: Reducing the risk of infection
