March Chapter Meeting: ASHRAE 62.1 – Updates to IAQp

Presenter: Anurag Goel

Title: ASHRAE 62.1 – Updates to IAQp

About the presenter:

Anurag is a passionate engineer and writer, focused on sustainable building design and operation. He has professional experience performing building systems design, energy audits (ASHRAE Level I, II, and III), MEP condition assessments, utility incentive analyses, LEED certification, and commissioning. Anurag has a background in mechanical engineering and sustainable design with significant energy modeling and energy analysis experience. He is proficient with energy management, capital planning, energy code compliance, and project management. Anurag also has extensive industry experience designing HVAC systems that contribute to enhanced indoor air quality using the ASHRAE 62.1 Indoor Air Quality Procedure (IAQP).

Presentation:

This presentation covers how to maintain good indoor air quality and increase resilience to outdoor and indoor pollutants / viruses, while minimizing the energy impacts.  The solution is to use gaseous air cleaning to achieve good IAQ, while reducing first costs and maintenance.

During this discussion, we will learn about:

• NEW standards which define acceptable indoor air quality
• Updated guidance on when to use certain IAQ strategies
• How MEPs and customers adopts filtration to save on energy and improve IAQ

We will look at case studies already using the technology and learn how to apply IAQ products to improve the built environment and save money.
