A new CAREL paper to reduce environmental impact in IAQ control

The paper entitled ‘Airborne infectivity control by proper IAQ while minimising its environmental impact’ will be presented at the ASHRAE International Building Decarbonization Conference 2024.

CAREL will participate in the ASHRAE International Building Decarbonization Conference 2024, taking place from April 17th to 19th, 2024, in Madrid, with a presentation speech of the article entitled “Airborne infectivity control by proper IAQ while minimising its environmental impact,” authored by Raul Simonetti, CAREL’s Corporate Business Manager HVAC/R and member of ASHRAE. Starting from an analysis of the probability of infectivity in enclosed spaces and with respect to air exchange and thermo-hygrometric conditions, the paper proposes a technological solution for air handling units based on three key principles: hygiene, energy saving and digitalisation.

The event serves as an important platform for all stakeholders in the sector aiming to address the need to reduce CO₂ emissions from buildings and infrastructure. Now in its third edition, it is a significant opportunity for the HVAC/R sector to share information, exchange ideas, and collaborate on the design, construction, and operation of structures that have a minimal or neutral impact on the environment in terms of carbon footprint. The primary objective is to enrich the knowledge base and foster global collaborations in decarbonization efforts.

With its active participation in the event, which also includes a speech titled ‘Heat Recovery for sustainable buildings’, CAREL reaffirms its commitment to promoting cutting-edge technologies that contribute to creating a greener and more sustainable built environment.
