CALUMET DINNER MEETING - November 19
For the dinner meeting, we'll be learning about energy recovery ventilators. With IAQ concerns in every facility and energy prices on the rise, what is a HVAC system designer to do? Energy recovery systems can bring in code required outside air and save energy doing it. Attendees will learn about key applications appropriate for using energy recovery, the different types of energy recovery equipment, how to select an energy recovery wheel, and how to calculate energy savings and ROI. The new ASHRAE 90.1 (addendum e) and ASHRAE 189.1 requirements for ERVs will also be discussed, as will Chicago code considerations.
