11:00 – ASHRAE Updates Air Cleaning Standards – Arthur d. Hallstrom, P.E. ASHRAE Fellow.
Objective: ASHRAE Indoor Air Quality Research is creating better IAQ thru improved Standards. This presentation will be a very important update to WV on Air Cleaning. The topics include:
- ASHRAE’s Big Four IAQ Standards
- A Low Pressure Drop MERV 13 option
- How Passive and Active Air Cleaner are performance tested
- Location, Location – Its important
- Major Changes in the new ASHRAE 62.1-2025
Active air cleaning can be more effective and uses less energy than increased ventilation if properly selected and applied. Learn about the different air cleaning families and how they are tested using ASHRAE and AHAM Standards. Learn how products can be applied using ASHRAE 241 for maximum effectiveness.
Presenter: Arthur D. Hallstrom. P.E. ASHRAE Fellow. Vice Chair of ASHRAE Standard 234. Mr Hallstrom has over 40 years experience as Air Side Applications for a major Air Conditioning Manufacturer. He has been involved with reactive and passive air cleaning for a wide variety of applications like airports, schools, labs, casinos, etc. He is currently the editor for the ASHRAE Terminology Online Glossary.
