Description

Building air pressure and flow are dependent on a complex set of interacting building and mechanical systems, and often even climate from hour to hour. The failure of correct building pressurization can result in air quality problems ranging from comfort to the presence of unhealthy or dangerous particulates – and eventually to material corrosion, mold, and unnecessarily high maintenance and operating costs. This webinar will identify methods of creating and controlling appropriate building pressure, present common building pressurization controls strategies, and provide recommendations on sequences of operations that work. The presenter will offer real world lessons learned that can help you identify and solve pressurization problems in the field.
