High Temperature High Ventilation Technology for Commercial-Industrial Buildings
Monday, February 3, 9-10am
How can commercial-industrial buildings utilize high temperature high ventilation technology to provide efficient
heating and ventilation? Attendees will learn about how gas-ﬁred direct heating and forced ventilation appliances
can help solve ventilation and destratiﬁcation issues in warehouses, industrial, and high bay buildings.

Introduction to AHRI Sound Standards in Ducted Applications
Tuesday, February 4, 12-1pm
In this session, attendees will learn about HVAC industry sound standards. A review of the fundamentals of sound
will cover topics ranging from the decibel and hertz, to understanding the differences between sound power and
sound pressure. A brief overview of the numerous AHRI sound standards will demonstrate that each standard can
be used for more than just A/B product comparisons. A deeper dive into AHRI Standard 260 will demonstrate how
AHRI sound standards enable member companies to provide consistent sound comparison data to customers while
also enabling customers to design projects to meet speciﬁc sound criteria in the occupied space.

Health, Comfort, Preservation: Bringing the Beneﬁts of Humidity Home
Tuesday, February 4, 3-4pm
Can humidity control at home improve your health? Recent research shows clear links between maintaining midrange indoor humidity and occupant health. However, much of the discussion has been focused on commercial
buildings. In this seminar, we will focus on bringing the beneﬁts of humidity control into the home. Attendees will
learn about the science of humidity and health, and how indoor moisture affects both occupants and the home
itself.

Safe Transition to Low Global Warming Potential Refrigerants
Tuesday, February 4, 4:30-5:30pm
The Air Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) created the Safe Refrigerant Transition Task Force
to help stakeholders prepare for the transition to low GWP refrigerants. This session will include an update on the
task force progress to date, including a supply chain analysis (e.g., installation, maintenance, operations, shipping,
and storage) and stakeholder education.
