Viability of HVAC Restoration: An Efficiency & Sustainability Perspective
Frank Santini, Esq., MBA, Director of Education & Strategic Initiatives; Pure Air Control Services, Inc.
This presentation brings a fresh look at what can be done to increase the longevity of aging HVAC equipment. In most cases, new replacement seems like the only available option when evaluating infrastructure nearing the end of it recommended life. But consider that the basic design of an air handling unit (AHU) has not changed in 60 years. Hygienically and mechanically speaking the vast majority of older AHUs can be restored for many more years of service.  By thoroughly keeping the coils clean and mechanical components serviced the AHU can be made to operate at or near factory specification. This presentation will also outline how HVAC restoration is, in fact, more sustainable from a carbon footprint viewpoint that that of new replacement.  Legal implications of unhygienic air handlers will be discussed from a general perspective. Finally, it will touch upon other factors such as restoration of the AHU in place where replacement would be difficult or expensive, downtime in building operations and disruption to occupants.

1:00pm - 2:00pm
