📢 Upcoming Free Webinar: Why Airflow Measurement is Vital for Maintaining IAQ and Meeting ECMs Register today! https://lnkd.in/gdMYdy6b   Featured Speaker: Darryl DeAngelis, Director of Business Development, EBTRON, Inc.   A building’s HVAC airside system's function is to ensure comfort and create indoor air quality (IAQ) through ventilation, filtrations, and extraction, and it protects the building and its contents. However, many airside ECMs can potentially have a negative impact on IAQ, such as DCV, VFD on fans, sealing ducts or sealing the building, and alternate air cleaning technologies, making it critical to measure and track airflow.    Learning Objectives: 1. The relationship between airside ECMs and IAQ 2. How airflow measurement limits unintentional energy waste 3. Using airflow measurement to trend and validate performance 4. Consideration for future building readiness for pandemics, wildfires, etc.
