Wednesday, June 21, 2023 (4:00 PM - 5:30 PM) (EDT)
Description
Join us for a compelling webinar presented by Dave Schaaf, an expert from AAF Flanders. With the increasing frequency and magnitude of wildfires, communities are facing prolonged exposure to hazardous wildfire smoke. This webinar aims to raise awareness about effective strategies to mitigate smoke exposure and the essential planning required ahead of wildfire seasons. Dave Schaaf, drawing upon the latest guidance from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), will provide a comprehensive review of actionable measures to prepare for wildfire seasons. Attendees will gain insights into the recommended steps to safeguard indoor air quality and protect occupants in the face of these challenging circumstances. The discussion will focus on the critical role of air filtration in ensuring the safety and well-being of building occupants during wildfire events. Dave will emphasize the importance of incorporating gas phase filtration and molecular filtration techniques to effectively remove gaseous pollutants and particulate matter from the indoor air. Attendees will learn about advanced filtration technologies, including activated carbon filters and high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters, and their significant impact on reducing the health risks associated with wildfire smoke exposure. This webinar is a valuable opportunity for building owners, facility managers, HVAC professionals, and anyone concerned with maintaining optimal indoor air quality during wildfire seasons. Don't miss the chance to enhance your understanding of indoor air quality guidance, gain practical insights, and explore innovative solutions to protect occupants from the impact of wildfire smoke.
