SUMMARY:Developing a Flexible Building Operation Plan
DESCRIPTION:[su_youtube_advanced url=”https://youtu.be/dj76CxjGPNU” controls=”alt” autohide=”yes” autoplay=”yes” modestbranding=”yes”] \nCOVID-19 may be forcing us to re-think our current Building Operation Plan as we prioritize occupant health. However\, this doesn’t mean that energy efficiency has to take a back seat – we can do both. \nIn this webinar\, we will discuss the importance of flexibility as we move through a phased re-opening process. We will discuss how evaluation\, execution\, monitoring\, and managing will be key to continued progress that also produces a desirable outcome for your finance and human resource departments. \nFeaturing Guest Speaker: \nEric DeVries \, E3M Solutions \n[su_button url=”https://migbc.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/USGBC-WM-Presentation.pdf” target=”blank” style=”glass” background=”#c9e265″ color=”#000000″ size=”16″]Download PowerPoint[/su_button]

SUMMARY:The "Healthy Zone" of Humidity
DESCRIPTION:Mechanical heating & cooling systems can reduce humidity inside buildings – sometimes more than intended. This is not necessarily a good thing! \nDuring this webinar\, we will discuss the many reasons why humidity is important. This includes how pathogens struggle to survive when relative humidity is optimized. We’ll also examine humidity pitfalls and the importance of controls to reduce factors like mold or bacterial growth. \nFeaturing Guest Speakers:  \nPasquale Demitrio\, Carel \nJon Rumohr\, Tower Pinkster \n[su_youtube_advanced url=”https://youtu.be/RXFH6Ixow5w” controls=”alt” autohide=”yes” autoplay=”yes” modestbranding=”yes”] \n  \n[su_button url=”https://migbc.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Healthcare-3.0-editing-The-Healthy-Zone-.pptx-1.pdf” target=”blank” style=”glass” background=”#c9e265″ color=”#000000″ size=”16″]Download PowerPoint[/su_button]

SUMMARY:VIEWERS CHOICE:  A Deep Dive Into Bi-Polar Ionization (BPI)
DESCRIPTION:Survey Says – We want more information on BPI!\n\nBPI technology causes very small particles to combine with others to create larger particles that are more efficiently trapped in your HVAC filtration system.  This affordable technology can be added to existing HVAC systems to break down viruses and bacteria in indoor spaces.  Join this webinar as we explore this technology and consider its possible benefits in your space.\n\nThank you for all the feedback you’ve been providing during past webinars.  We are excited to bring you\, by request\, this deep dive into BPI technology with our partners.\n\nSpeaker:\nLarry Sunshine\, Plasma Air\n\n[su_youtube_advanced url=”https://youtu.be/O8vDqSzlRuk” controls=”alt” autohide=”yes” autoplay=”yes” modestbranding=”yes”]\n\n[su_button url=”https://migbc.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Healthy-Buildings-Webinar-Template-BPI-3.pdf” target=”blank” style=”glass” background=”#c9e265″ color=”#000000″ size=”16″]Download PowerPoint[/su_button]
