*Nov. 18: Technologies and Considerations for HVAC Systems in a Pandemic -
IBPSA-USA NYC Chapter*

The pandemic has led to finding new and innovative technologies to reduce
the spread of virus indoors. ASHRAE and the CDC, among other public health
organizations, recommend a combination of air filtration  and increased
indoor ventilation for buildings.This IBPSA-USA NYC session will look at a
few technologies and discuss the energy use impact of air filtration /
increased ventilation and ways to account for the impact in energy models.
