Episode Details

In this episode, I discuss the feasibility of occupancy counting to control outdoor air ventilation. 

Man, who would have thought that we would be having this discussion? Lately, it seems that I am seeing more and more ideas that are combining different technologies to achieve outcomes. 

Case and point, I recently had a BAM nation member and personal friend Walter reach out to me with a question around the energy saving potential of using occupancy counting to reduce outdoor air flow.

In this episode you will learn:

• How outdoor air ventilation works from a technical and engineering perspective
• How to calculate energy savings from outdoor air reduction
• The effect of the engineering and contracting world on technology adoption
• How ASHRAE 62.1 determines the minimum outdoor air you need to provide
