ASHRAE Miami Chapter held their first Technical Meeting on September 4th, 2024 at 12pm, at the 94th Aero Squadron in Miami. The meeting presentation was about the Control of Infectious Aerosols.

ASHRAE, through its Epidemic Task Force, provided timely leadership in responding to the COVID19 pandemic from March 2020 through June 2022. At the request of the White House, ASHRAE undertook its own project Warp Speed to build on that expertise for the future. In December 2022, the ASHRAE Board committed to quickly writing a standard to make buildings more resilient against infectious aerosols ahead of the next epidemic. In only four months the project committee created and won approval for ASHRAE Standard 241-2023.

Distinguished Lecturer Wade H. Conlan, P.E., BCxP, CxA, LEED AP BD+C provided a summary of the standard including its purpose, scope, and key requirements with supporting background.

Don’t miss the next ASHRAE Miami meeting at the 94th Aero Squadron in Miami on Thursday, October 10th, from 12-2pm. Speaker Patricia Gómez, Ph.D., will discuss Navigating Miami’s Energy Landscape: The BE305 Initiative.
