Highrise Multifamily Ventilation

Wednesday, April 10, 2024
2:30 PM – 3:30 PM  
Location: Room M100 I (Mezzanine Level)
CEU Type(s): BPI, InterNACHI, NARI, NATE
Multifamily buildings can pose unique challenges to ventilation and indoor air quality. This session will present research and data that address challenges when ventilating multifamily buildings, as well as solutions to help overcome these obstacles. Presenters will discuss the results of a study conducted by NCHH of ventilation in multifamily housing with gas stoves and the effect ASHRAE 62.2 compliance had on indoor contaminants. You’ll also hear data from air tightness simulations that show the positive impacts of building tight and ventilating right on building units. Learn best practices to ventilating occupied multifamily units non-intrusively and practical solutions for improving IAQ. In this session, presenters will demystify IAQ in multifamily buildings and demonstrate the benefits of proper ventilation for building occupants that can go beyond IAQ.

Learning Objectives:

By attending this session, attendees will:
  • Understand the effects of compartmentalization on air flows and contaminant transport in multifamily buildings
  • Identify retrofit strategies that will improve ventilation system performance
