SUMMARY:Assessing Your Indoor Water Quality
DESCRIPTION:[su_youtube_advanced url=”https://youtu.be/SrBpRJtLDTY” controls=”alt” autohide=”yes” autoplay=”yes” modestbranding=”yes”]\n\nPiping systems affect the health of your water before it reaches the faucet. There are many risk factors that hide out of sight from the naked eye\, especially if water has been stagnant during low use or a building shutdown. A one-time building flush might seem like a simple fix\, but it is not the only action needed. For this reason\, it is important to ask yourself: “Is water quality testing a part of my routine building maintenance?”\n\nDuring this webinar\, we will discuss the benefits of testing your water\, whether it comes from the city or well. Water quality testing is readily available\, but what happens after testing? Our guest speakers from Purdue University will elucidate the dangers of stagnant water in your building’s pipes and detail the importance of an action plan when understanding why and what to test for\, and deciphering your water results.\nFeaturing Guest Speakers: \nAndy Whelton\, Purdue University \nCaitlin Proctor\, Purdue University

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]
