Webinar: Making the Connection: Linking IAQ, Energy Efficiency and Preventive Maintenance Together for Healthy Schools

Recorded February 22, 2018

Webinar Description

This webinar explains the benefits of optimizing the critical connection between IAQ, energy efficiency and preventive maintenance during renovation or energy efficiency upgrade projects. Watch now to learn how to replicate the best practices of school district personnel and technical experts—by using the recommendations in EPA’s Energy Savings Plus Health: Indoor Air Quality Guidelines for School Building Upgrades—to integrate IAQ and energy efficiency for optimal occupant health and building performance.

Webinar Viewers Will:

• Explain the critical connection between IAQ, energy efficiency and preventative maintenance, and the importance of properly integrating them for optimal occupant health and building performance.
• Use resources to help with energy efficiency and preventive maintenance efforts, including the Energy Savings Plus Health guide and the accompanying Interactive Air Quality Planner for Schools that helps you create a custom verification checklist for both your building upgrades and concurrent IAQ assessment protocols for each step of the upgrade process.
• Use a case study from a school district on getting started using these resources to create healthy indoor learning environments.
• Start or improve a preventive maintenance program to include IAQ and energy efficiency components as part of a comprehensive building management approach.
