17、on he 1992 ASHRAE position paper on ozone-depleting substances says that T ASHRAE can make its greatest contribution in this area through technology transfer and education. The recent ASHRAE/TuIST Conference: Refrigcrants for the 21 st Century in Bethesda, Md. contributed in both ways. The 16 papers

18、 focused on equipment and refrigerant options involved in the search for replacements for chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocar- bons (HCFCs). Most papers covered recent research and the prospects that each option has for satisfying requirements that include safety, stability, cost, ef

19、f-ciency, and ozone depletion and global warming potential. Topics ranged from heat pump and absorption technology, to refrigerant options such as ammonia, fluoroethcrs, carbon dioxide, propane and even air. Several articles on the conference are included in this months Industry News section. The co

20、nference proceedings are available through ASHRAE. REFRIGERANT technology also will be covered in the ASHRAE Winter Meeting Technical Program in San Francisco. The program will be the Societys largest for a winter meeting with 192 papers presented in 3 1 symposia, three techni- cal sessions and thre

21、e poster sessions. The program also has 43 seminars and SO forums. The program is presented in 15 tracks, or subject areas. The largest track is Systems and Applications, followed by IAQ and Comfort. The third largest track is Materials and Processes, which includes programs on refrigeration equipme

22、nt and refrigerants. A seven-page preview- of the Winter Meeting, the Technical Program and the AHR Expo starts on Page 139. Incidentally, Hank Stevens, the shows manager, says that San Francisco has many more downtown hotel rooms than Philadelphia. AN ARTICLE in this months lineup questions a basic

Author Paul Komor, Ph.D., presents data from 44 office buildings that shows plug loads are actually 1.1 watts per

In the United States and Australia, asthma rates have nearly doubled in the past 15 ycars, reported Dr. Rebecca Bas- coni of the University

30、 of Maryland, with an annual health care cost in the Ilnitcd States of more than $6.2 billion, accord- ing to the American Lung Association. Bascom also reported that teachers are at a greatly increased risk of respiratory and other serious health consequences of long deferred maintenance in aging s

Nardell noted that a mortality rate of 50% is expected among patients and health care workers who are infected with HIV and drug-rcsistant TB. From a medical perspective, the ge- neti

What has changed, however, is the number of trig- gers that can bring on disease in people, said Dr. Jonathan Sainmet of Johns Hop- kins University. The sources of indoor air pollution are many, such as environmen- tal tobacco smoke,

34、volatile organic coni- pounds in inaterials in buildings, allergens and molds. However, Sainmct reported there are many opportunities for intervention to control indoor air pollu- tion, such as use of low-emitting niateri- als, eliminating smoking indoors, control of moisture and dirt in IIVAC syste

In the process of constructin

40、g a building, changes are made at the con- struction site that affect the design ofthe HVAC system and produce unrecog- nized problems which later have impli- cations on the quality of indoor air. During the operation of building HVAC systems, control ofmoisture, dirt and ventilation is important to

41、 prevent indoor air pollution, said Woods. Con- trolling moisture and dirt eliminates the growth of microbials in HVAC systems and in the building. Once you control the source of indoor air pollut- ants, ventilation is used to di- lute the concentration of remaining pollutants with outdoor air and r

Woods recommended three important roles fr building professionals to assure the quality of indoor air: I) to use ventilation to control airborne transmission of biological idoor air spaces. At the confer- ence, a new model that predicts the movement and “age” of air

Ventilation control is often described in terms of airflow rates while ventilation pcrfor- mance is described in tenns of the age of air. The model inte- grates thcsc two concepts through a ventilation control s

44、trategy that ineasures the age of the air in locations throughout a building. The age is determined from when it cnlcrs the outdoor intake to the moment that it is being measured, he said.
