Integrating the building envelope, precast concrete floors and HVAC system combines four systems into one: heating, cooling, fresh air ventilation, and thermal energy storage. In addition to elevated efficiency, Integrated Ventilation Design reduces the risk of the spread of infectious diseases by significantly curtailing the recirculation of stale air within the building. This session will substantiate the value of integrated ventilation design as a simplified design alternative to other more complex and expensive energy conservation measures. Learn about the applications and components of an integrated ventilation “Smart Floor Kit”. Discover how to position precast concrete hollow core slabs or cast in place as a smart, sustainable building material for new construction and retrofits for low-energy or zero net energy intelligent buildings.
