ATLANTA   – Registration for the free 2014 ASHRAE Webcast, “Buildings in Balance: IEQ   and Energy Efficiency,” is now open at  www.ashrae.org/ieqwebcast.

The   webcast will broadcast live on April 17, 2014, from 12-3PM CENTRAL TIME. 

NOTE: IF YOU WISH TO WATCH THE WEBINAR AT HTS CALL 832.328.1010 AND RESERVE YOUR SPOT WITH THE RECEPTIONIST. MAX ATTENDANCE IS 20.

“The   webcast will identify the link between energy efficiency and indoor   environmental quality (IEQ) through the integrated design process,” Andy   Cochrane, chair of ASHRAE’s Chapter Technology Transfer Committee, which   oversees the event, said. “Participants will be able to recognize the   importance of the four cornerstones of IEQ and explain how system selection can   benefit energy efficiency and IEQ.  The presenters will describe best   practices for performance measurement protocols and explain the role of post   occupancy evaluation in fine-tuning building performance.  Viewers will   also learn about the common design, commissioning and operational pitfalls of   IEQ.  ‘Buildings in Balance’ will describe how energy and efficiency can   be achieved, without compromising IEQ.”

Webcast   presenters are:

  
• 2013-14 ASHRAE President William P. “Bill” Bahnfleth, Ph.D., P.E., Fellow ASHRAE, ASME Fellow, professor of        Architectural Engineering , director of Indoor Environmental Center,  The Pennsylvania State University
