One of the critical aspects of HVAC systems is energy consumption and the roles that HVAC engineering, construction, and maintenance play in optimizing energy usage. The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) is uniquely qualified to provide guidance for consumers and the industry on the best practices for inspecting, maintaining and restoring HVAC systems.
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) impact the indoor air quality and can have deleterious effects on human health. This session will describe instruments and laboratory-based methods available to measure VOCs.
This session will discuss building integration with the smart grid, DERs (Distributed Energy Resources), TES (Transactive Energy Systems), and DR (Demand Response) applications.
BACnet is introducing new features that will help facility managers to implement an Internet of Things (IoT) strategy for their facilities. IoT is important to facility managers as devices such as chillers, boilers, lights, fire alarm, security, and elevators come with network smarts onboard to monitor the health, status, and energy consumption through their front end software applications.
