Webinar: Which comes first – Confort vs efficiency?

As we know the ANSI / ASHRAE 55: 2017 standard determines the combinations of the human factors and the thermal and environmental conditions so that the HVAC needs of the people occupying a building are attended. However where’s the limit of this satisfaction and your energy efficiency program? Where’s this balance point? This May 2th at 2:00 p.m. PT / 1:00 p.m. CT there’s an interesting webinar «Which comes first: Comfort vs. efficiency?» presented by UPONOR, a supplier of ASHRAE

UPONOR says about this topic: «People operate spaces based on how they feel, not on energy models. The same science used by engineers when applied to define building problems is not applied to integrate the human factor. The success of this strategy is a miserably low satisfaction rate with the built environment. If society honestly desires energy efficiency from architecture, then it should not be the exclusive goal, but rather the outcome from successfully achieving the desired indoor climate»
