ASHRAE IAQ2010
The focus of ASHRAE’s IAQ 2010 Conference will be Airborne Infection Control. The conference will explore related questions on the role of HVAC in airborne infectious disease transmission, evaluation of the various design and control strategies and technology, pandemic preparedness, and airborne infection control for various applications such as healthcare facilities, air and surface transportation, schools, offices, etc.

The conference will answer the following questions:
-
Is airborne infection in enclosed environments emerging as a primary IAQ and health concern?
- What is our current understanding of the airborne infection route in enclosed environments, including buildings and transportation conveyances?
- What is the status of airborne infection control techniques adopted in different types of enclosed environments and our knowledge about their effectiveness?
- How do mechanical systems and other building and enclosure characteristics contribute to healthy environments in an energy-efficient manner?
- How can we create and sustain healthy enclosed environments through design, construction, commissioning, operation and maintenance?
- What metrics and tools can be used to quantify the degree to which an enclosed environment is healthy and energy-efficient?
- What are the costs and quantifiable benefits of airborne infection control strategies?
- What government and private sector programs exist or are proposed, including standards and guidelines for infection control and pandemic-preparedness in enclosed environments?
- How well are the existing programs working and what roles can ASHRAE and other organizations in the field of building science and conveyance design play?
