Concordia University to Host Symposium on IAQ Issues
Relative to H1N1, Safety / Security Threats, Energy Use  Who is invited: Building operators, facility managers, HVAC designers, engineers and contractors,
property managers, energy managers, sustainability managers, infectious disease control personnel,
and researchers.

Camfil Farr and Concordia University will present an intense half-day technical session for all professionals
who are responsible for designing and maintaining healthy indoor environments. The symposium is Tuesday,
November 24, 2009, at the University, EV Building, Room 2-260. There is no cost to attend. The seminar will provide a detailed overview of current filtration standards, help resolve critical IAQ design and
maintenance issues, and train participants on techniques to reduce energy consumption related to air handling.
The seminar will also address sustainability initiatives – one of the most pressing issues for corporations today. Ventilation systems today must take into account the potential for sudden release of biological or chemical
agents, and the very real short-term potential for a pandemic, as well as traditional concerns, such as
energy consumption, and occupant health and comfort. This symposium addresses all of these issues in an
intense, 3-hour session that concludes with a question-and-answer session, and lunch. The air filtration design and maintenance symposium will be presented by Fariborz Haghighat, Ph.D, Concordia
Research Chair – Energy and Environment, and Michael Dobbs, Vice President, Camfil Farr Canada Inc. Speakers
include Don Thornburg, a leading expert in HVAC regulatory standards; Hamid Kholafai, Researcher,
Concordia University; and Chris Ecob, Ph.D, Global Manager of Molecular Filtration, Camfil AB. French-speaking liaisons will be available during the Q&A period to translate questions and responses as
needed. The presentation will be given in English, with presentation materials available to attendees in
English and French. There is no cost to attend, but seating is limited and pre-registration is required. Visit . . .
