The Commissioning Process in New and Existing Buildings
(code 60)
8:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m., Palmer House Hilton
The fundamentals of the commissioning process through each
step of a new construction project from pre-design to occupancy
and operations are presented in this seminar. The seminar
discusses commissioning documentation, including an overview of
commissioning specifications for new construction.
Instructor: Rick Casault, P.E., Member ASHRAE

UPDATED! Humidity Control I and II: Tips for HVAC Design
and Practical Solutions to Existing Problems (code 72)
9:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m., McCormick Place
Sooner or later, every HVAC designer and facility manager comes
up against a problem created by moisture and/or excessive
humidity in their buildings. This seminar consists of two, three-hour
modules. Humidity Control I explains how humidity problems can
be easily avoided in new designs by simple and effective humidity
specifications and use of dedicated outdoor air systems that keep
ventilation air dry. Humidity Control II describes classic problems
and solutions for existing buildings when there may be little or no
budget for different equipment or controls.
Instructors: Lew Harriman, Fellow ASHRAE and Mark Nunnelly,
P.E., Member ASHRAE, BEMP, LEED® AP

Complying with the Requirements of ASHRAE Standard 62.12016 (code 61)
8:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m., Palmer House Hilton
This seminar provides an overview of the requirements of the new
standard with emphasis on changes from the previous version and
practical application of the standard to modern VAV systems. New
requirements to the indoor air quality procedure for determining
minimum ventilation rates are discussed. In the 2016 version,
changes were made in determining air class for laboratory exhaust
systems and the use of sensors for demand control ventilation.
The course presents sample calculations for code review and for
physical operation using the latest ASHRAE spreadsheet.
Instructors: Hoy Bohanon, P.E., Member ASHRAE, BEAP, LEED®
AP and Chandra Sekhar, Ph.D., Fellow ASHRAE

NEW! Optimizing Indoor Environment: Increasing Building
Value (code 73)
9:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m., McCormick Place
This seminar describes what the optimal HVAC operations in
existing buildings are, which ASHRAE publications are applicable,
and then how to achieve energy and water savings. If the
fundamental building operations are not corrected first, then any
efforts solely focused on improving energy and water efficiency will
likely result in even poorer building performance.
Instructor: Hoy Bohanon, P.E., Member ASHRAE, BEAP,
