This month we are happy to welcome Zach Alderman to discuss strategies for dealing with COVID-19 in HVAC systems.

Zachary Alderman, P.E. is a Mechanical Engineer with DLZ Corporation in South Bend, Indiana and the current President of the Northern Indiana ASHRAE chapter.

Due to the critical infrastructure nature of many of DLZ’s clients, Zach has been highly involved in assessing and implementing the various ASHRAE resources regarding COVID-19 mitigation strategies in a wide variety of applications.

Zach’s presentation will provide a summary review of several categories relating to COVID-19:

    1. Filtration and Disinfection Technology Roundup and Pro/Con summary

    2. General Strategies for Mitigating COVID-19 airborne transmission in Commercial and Residential environments

    3. Walkthrough of ASHRAE and other open-source resources freely available to the public
