Track: Indoor Air Quality Sponsor: SSPC 62.1 Chair: Hoy Bohanon, P .E., Member, Working Buildings, Winston-Salem, NC Recent proposed standards have suggested that providing 30% more outdoor air may improve air quality. Is this really the case? Is more air better? How much more? What about outdoor pollutants? What about energy? What about studies correlating improved performance to more outdoor air? Come to this forum and let your opinion be heard. Room: McCreary Seminar 30 (Intermediate) Use of Liquid Desiccants for Improved Air Quality and Ventilation Air Energy Savings Track: Exergy Sponsor: 8.12 Desiccant Dehumidification Equipment and Components Chair: Stan Slabinski, Member, Kathabar Dehumidification Systems Div. of Niagara Blower Co., Somerset, NJ With the rising prices and decreased reliability of electricity, building owners are evaluating cost-effective means to satisfy the stricter IAQ standards demanded by the government and industry. Due to the need for increased outside air, owners are realizing that traditional building air conditioning, which typically uses cooling coils with refrigeration for cooling, is an expensive process. There is potential for significant ventilation system energy savings by incorporating a liquid desiccant type building energy reduction system. With an integrated systems approach, these systems efficiently use waste heat and also support on-site power generation and co-generation. This technology can be applied to office buildings, research facilities, laboratories, bio-tech facilities, microelectronics manufacturing, pharmaceutical and manufacturing. 1.

(Ugh! Boring!) A Comparison of the AIA 2007 and AGC ConsensusDocs Contract Forms Track: Business Management Sponsor: 1.7 Business, Management & General Legal Education, 7.1 Integrated Building Design Chair: Mitchell Swann, PE, Member, MDC Systems LLC, Paoli, PA Contracts can be a dry, dull subject filled with boring language and arcane phrases. But the old adage of the pen being mightier than the sword is proven again and again in the little twists and turns of your contract. You must be careful how you cut it because sloppy drafting can cause you to cut off your own ear. The AIA 2007 series has q http://www.ashrae.org/louisville
