Programme Highlight

ANSI/ASHRAE Standards 62.1 is a recognized standard in Hong Kong for ventilation system design and acceptable IAQ. This chapter contains two alternate ventilation rate determination  procedures: the Ventilation Rate Procedure (VRP) and the Indoor Air Quality Procedure (IAQP). The IAQP usually allows lower ventilation rates than the VRP in office environment, because the former is about controlling air contaminants towards minimum air changes. The IAQP method is practically rarely used for two reasons: VRP is formula based versus IAQP situational based so the former method is much easier to execute; secondly the easiest way to reduce air contaminants is by fresh air dilution anyway. Excessive conditioned fresh air, however, especially in Hong Kong's humid subtropical climate, is costly. In this programme we shall examine feasibility to deploy the IAQP method with new sorbent materials and advanced air cleaning system available in market today.

The presentation will be in Cantonese and powerpoint in English

Speaker

Mr. Marc Chow is a technical & business advocate of IAQ solutions encompassing market segments from centralized HVAC system to desktop device. Besides being a building services engineer by training, Marc was previously an incubatee of Hong Kong Science Park Inc-Tech program.  He got involved in several technology and product development and licensing projects, with prime interest in building energy saving and indoor air quality management.
