TIME: 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM
Facade automation can be a key tool in enhancing occupant comfort and environmental performance by providing design opportunities that allow buildings to breath. In this webinar, we will explore the role of mixed-mode ventilation systems, which combine natural and mechanical ventilation, and how facade automation can play a pivotal role in creating healthier, and more dynamic indoor environments. Architects, engineers, and design professionals will learn how automated facade systems can improve indoor climate, thermal comfort, and energy efficiency, all while supporting the well-being of building occupants.
Join us to discover how advanced facade automation technologies, when integrated with mixed-mode ventilation, can transform the design of commercial and educational buildings. This session will provide insights into maximizing the potential of facade-driven systems for more sustainable, comfortable, and healthier indoor spaces.
Learning Objectives:
- Health and Wellness Benefits: Learn how mixed-mode ventilation systems improve indoor air quality and support the physical and mental well-being of building occupants.
- Thermal Comfort with Mixed-Mode Ventilation: Discover how a mixed-mode approach can enhance thermal comfort and energy efficiency across diverse building types.
- Control Strategies Comparison: Understand the differences between automated control systems and manual override strategies in maintaining optimal air quality and comfort in mixed-mode systems.
- Real life Reference Cases. Gain insight to how others have utilized these powerful strategies and relate to building projects across North America.
