“Outdoor Airflow Control Improves Building’s Performance”

This course demonstrates the performance and economical            advantages of directly measuring and controlling outdoor air            intakes versus the traditional approach of relying upon a fixed        outdoor air damper position.  Design guidelines are provided to     assist in optimizing systems by using direct airflow monitoring and control.  The goal of the course is to improve indoor building           environments, building pressurization control, and improving         energy economy.
