Engineering For Air Quality
There are multiple documents referenced by mechanical engineers in the design of HVAC and dehumidification systems for natatoriums. This program identifies those documents in a cohesive and comprehensive way to create a methodical approach to designing and specifying air handling systems. Beginning with the guest experience, design criteria is established and then best practices are used to define a design workflow that achieves the initial goals.
What you will learn:
Define the guest experience from the standpoint of indoor air quality performance criteria such as temperature, humidity and odors from chloramines and other disinfection byproducts.
Identify the relevant standards, codes, and design references as well as potential equipment manufacturers for examples of how to interpret their performance specifications.
Analyze the HVAC and dehumidification requirements from return and supply duct sizes and locations to air turnover rates and mass of water removed through dehumidification.
Formulate a plan that optimizes the design for a safe and healthy indoor air quality.
