Webinar: Solving Humidity Problems: ASHRAE Design Guide, GSA/DoE Innovation Programs & Technology
Wednesday, March19, 2025 | 4:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. ET
The ASHRAE® Design Guide, “Guide for Resilient Energy Systems Design in Hot and Humid Climates”, was developed by USACE’s Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (CERL). Both the General Services Administration (GSA) Green Proving Grounds (GPG) and U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) High Impact Technology (HIT) Programs selected design methods and technology from the design guide, and the U.S. Navy implemented these best practices at Naval Support Activity (NSA) Orlando to pretreat the outside air using dehumidification prior to the cooling stage. This process is known as “outdoor air pretreatment device to decouple the latent and sensible loads”. This webinar will review the Design Guide, discuss GSA GPG, and DOE HIT Programs, and share technology implementation, innovation, and best practices at NSA Orlando.
Guest Speaker
Dr. Alexander Zhivov
Dr. Zhivov’s area of expertise includes Army-wide facilities energy strategic planning leading to the implementation of new HVAC systems, distributed generation technologies, renewable energy, heating plant modernizations, building commissioning processes, and modeling and analysis tools for installation operations. He develops the framework and concepts of a secure, reliable, and efficient Army installation energy strategy and supporting implementation programs.
Dr. Zhivov served as an Operating Agent for the International Energy Agency ECB Program Annex 46 “Holistic Assessment Tool-kit on Energy Efficient Retrofit Measures for Government Buildings “EnERGo,” Annex 61 “Business and Technical Concepts for Deep Energy Retrofit of Public Buildings,” and Annex 73 “Towards Net Zero Energy Public Resilient Communities.”
Dr. Zhivov is a Fellow and Life Member of the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air-Conditioning Engineers. Authored more than 250 books and technical papers and has been a contributor to National and International Ventilation Guides, and Energy Standards.
