“Can the Use of Chemically Treated Steam for Humidification Be Compatible with Good Indoor Air Quality?” was the question posed by Forum 9 of the ASHRAE Technical Program.
Issues considered under this topic included adjusting indoor temperatures on an hourly basis, energy benefits achievable, possible comfort complaints, and taking advantage of real-time pricing.
Seminar 6 of ASHRAE’s Technical Program was “Self-Powered Heating Systems: Saving Electricity and Improving Reliability” discuss alternative energy options.
ASHRAE forum “Gaseous Contaminants and Removal Equipment – Improving IAQ in Buildings” – covered issues regarding effective contaminant removal to maintain indoor air quality.
