This product is a zip file that contains files that consist of PowerPoint slides synchronized with the audio-recording of the speaker, PDF files of the slides, and audio only (mp3 format) as noted.

For a long time, air change per hour numbers have been used by designers of different types of buildings, labs, healthcare, cleanrooms, etc. Recent CFD analysis and tests showed that ACR does not guarantee the quality of the interior environments. The effectiveness of the ventilation in the room should be the main concern, but how to evaluate this ventilation effectiveness? The three speakers present their perspective related to the evaluation of the ventilation effectiveness.
