Overview
Your complete one-stop guide to building ventilation and air treatment systems design!! Immune Building Control Systems takes a comprehensive approach to the protection of buildings against biological pathogens. Immune Building Control Systems is a how-to-guide, an all-in-one reference for designing, retrofitting, and building state-of-the art ventilation and air treatment systems that can be integrated and controlled by a detection system. This guide is the first all in one guide to tackle this new and growing threat.
The book includes all essential background information on chemical/biological pathogens and on the mechanical systems used to control indoor air quality and protect those that inhabit them. Packed with schematics, diagrams and equations this Immune Building Controls Systems provides the engineer with all the essential tools for the design or the retrofit of systems for treating or purging indoor air of biological pathogens. Specific systems for use in homes, schools, hospitals, and laboratories are described in sufficient detail. The accompanying CD contains a modeling program that will allow the user to test designs before they get off the drawing board as well as assist HAVC Engineers take a look that their systems and retrofit their systems to meet the new threat of biological pathogens.
Synopsis
DESIGN AND BUILD AIR-CLEANING SYSTEMS TO DEFEND BUILDINGS AGAINST BIOWEAPONS
Here in one definitive volume is all the information engineers need to tackle the life-and-death task of designing systems used to control indoor air quality and understand the various biological pathogens.
In this first book to offer detailed coverage of both airborne pathogens and the mechanical systems used to control indoor air quality, the author provides a complete review of specific systems for use in
* Homes
* Schools
* Hospitals
* Offices
Along with expert advice on construction and maintenance, Immune Building Systems Technology offers invaluable guidance on retrofitting existing heating and ventilation systems and fully covers:
* Dilution and purging
* Filtration
* UVGI disinfection
If you’ve been looking for an expertly written, one-stop reference that fully addresses indoor disease control, bioweapons, and mold contamination, your search ends here.
Wladyslaw Jan Kowalski, is a Research Associate at the Pennsylvania State University Department of Architectural Engineering, where he is involved in the research and development of air-cleaning technologies and immune building systems. He has published numerous studies on the subjects of microbial filtration, UVGI system design, and ozone disinfection, and lectures and consults on the subject of bioterrorism defense.
