The Secret to Tenant Satisfaction: Ventilation!
During his talk, featured ASHRAE speaker Henry Slack will review the critical role of ventilation in maintaining healthier indoor environments, aiming to combat issues such as "Sick Building Syndrome." Emphasizing the importance of consistent ventilation, this talk highlights the cost-effectiveness of ventilation solutions at approximately $0.10 per square foot per year. Henry will also explore tenant concerns about air, such as mold, sewer gases, carbon monoxide and chemical orders.
About the Speaker
From 1991 to 2018, Henry Slack managed the Indoor Air Program for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Region 4, dealing with topics as diverse as mold, odors, ozone, carbon monoxide, air cleaners, green buildings, ventilation systems, tobacco smoke, and a guy who could see mold spores flying through the air and attack him. The EPA program is non-regulatory.
For the COVID-19 pandemic, he advised several non-profit organizations on prevention of super-spreader events with use of filters and ventilation. He has also lobbied members of Congress to solve the biggest problem in the world, climate change.
Mr. Slack earned a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry in 1974 from Southwestern at Memphis (now called Rhodes College) in Memphis, Tennessee, and a Master of Science in 1980 from Georgia Institute of Technology. He joined ASHRAE in 1988 and has never regretted it.
