SUMMARY:The 5th edition of the World IEQ Forum 2018
DESCRIPTION:Given the profound nature of the implications\, the IEQ story for 2018 would have to begin in the tranquil shores of the island of Kauai\, in Hawaii. In a high-profile move\, Tesla\, in the first quarter of 2017\, deployed a 13MW solar power system\, linked to a 13MW/52MWh Powerpack System\, which came with the promise of powering up the island during daytime and\, according to current estimates\, up to 10pm. The project\, for the Kauai Island Utility Cooperative (KIUC)\, involves the use of approximately 55\,000 solar panels and 272 Powerpack units to store the energy generated by the panels. Based on a power-purchase agreement with KIUC\, the “solar energy shifting”\, utility-scale project will serve over 30\,000 customers in the island – Tesla would be selling generated and stored energy at 11 cents per kWh\, which according to Tesla would be significantly cheaper than the cost of power that is generated through burning fossil fuels. According to estimates\, at full throttle\, the project would be instrumental in replacing the use of over two million gallons a year of diesel with clean energy. \nA significant implication of the project is its clean nature\, which opens very interesting possibilities\, indeed. Among them\, perhaps an answer to the question\, ‘How do we balance the need for greater energy-efficiency with the demand for better indoor air quality?’ \nIn 2016\, during the 4th edition of the World IEQ Forum\, in Dubai\, delegates saw an interesting debate unfold on whether the pursuit of greater energy efficiency was at the cost of indoor air quality. Tighter insulation profiles and fewer fresh air changes\, the IAQ camp argued\, were putting paid to efforts to ensure healthier buildings. They called for many more fresh air changes than the number prescribed by ASHRAE\, say. The counter-argument rode on the premise that fresh air changes would mean more energy usage\, which would increase indirect emissions. \nWhen viewed from that context\, the Kauai Island project\, if successfully scaled up across the globe\, would deem the argument based on indirect emissions irrelevant. Clean energy\, available round the clock without any disruption – or minimal disruption that is limited to non-peak hours – and\, importantly\, able to power the critical mass of HVACR equipment\, including energy-intensive large-tonnage chillers – would be as close as we would ever get to energy-utopia and healthy air in the built-environment. \nThe 5th edition of the World IEQ Forum will keep Kauai as the centre-piece to discuss the possibility of a new world order\, where IEQ is given the importance it truly deserves among policy-makers\, consultants\, building owners and equipment manufacturers\, among others.

SUMMARY:ASHRAE Course: The Future of Refrigerants: Challenges and Opportunities (MENA)
DESCRIPTION:This training provides a background review of international treaties and initiatives that support the transition from hydroclorofluorocarbon (HCFC) and hydrofluorocabon (HFC) refrigerants towards non-ozone depleting (ODP)\, low global warming potential (GWP) substances. A review of proposed refrigerants and how they can be used in different HVAC&R applications based on theoretical and empirical analyses are discussed. Challenges and opportunities associated with the different types of refrigerants: hydrofluorolefins\, and natural refrigerants are presented. Refrigerant options now and in the future that suites the region\, and related Standards and Codes of Systems and Substances are also covered. Finally\, the workshop wraps up with a discussion on the system’s perspective and how to best understand the opportunities for energy efficiency improvements along with hands-on experience with free software such as the ORNL Life Cycle Climate Performance web application and the ORNL Heat Pump Design Model. \nCourse Instructor\nOmar Abdelaziz\, Ph.D. \nCost:\n$405 for non-member\n$311 for ASHRAE Member\n$270 for ASHRAE Falcon Member. For information\, contact Ayah Said at globaltrainingcenter@ashrae.org \n———————————————— \n*Special Offer: Enroll for both HVAC Design Essentials (MENA) and The Future of Refrigerants: Challenges and Opportunities (MENA) courses (6-9 May 2018) and SAVE! \nCost:\n$1050 for non-member\n$860 for ASHRAE Member\n$800 for ASHRAE Falcon Member \n \nCost:\n$405 for non-member\n$311 for ASHRAE Member\n$270 for ASHRAE Falcon Member
