CPD 15 2020: Specifying HVAC Systems for Ventilation
This Daikin sponsored CPD examines how existing regulations and new technologies can address the problem of poor ventilation in both workplaces and homes
Introduction
In the UK, Public Health England estimates air pollution is responsible for between 28,000 and 36,000 deaths a year, costing the NHS and the private healthcare sector £20bn annually.
With people spending an estimated 90% of their time indoors (and some demographics, such as the elderly, spending even more time than that), indoor air quality is now recognised as a key issue in building design for homes, offices, hospitals, schools and factories.
This CPD assesses the impact of poor ventilation and discusses how existing regulations and new technologies can solve the problem.
