SAME Energy & Sustainability COI Webinar: Solving Humidity Problems: ASHRAE Design Guide, GSA/DOE Innovation Programs & Technology
About This Webinar
The ASHRAE® Design Guide, “Guide for Resilient Energy Systems Design in Hot and Humid Climates”, was developed by USACE’s Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (CERL). Both the General Services Administration (GSA) Green Proving Grounds (GPG) and U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) High Impact Technology (HIT) Programs selected design methods and technology from the design guide, and the U.S. Navy implemented these best practices at Naval Support Activity (NSA) Orlando to pretreat the outside air using dehumidification prior to the cooling stage. This process is known as “outdoor air pretreatment device to decouple the latent and sensible loads”. This webinar will review the Design Guide, discuss GSA GPG, and DOE HIT Programs, and share technology implementation, innovation, and best practices at NSA Orlando.

P.E., Founder, Altaire Systems
As a California registered Mechanical Engineer, Jim has directly managed scores of HVAC improvement projects across healthcare, institutional, resort and commercial office sectors. Leveraging an extensive background in HVAC controls systems and experience as an educator, he is highly skilled at working with project teams to implement leading edge, data-driven solutions that deliver meaningful and lasting results.
Jim is a founding principal of Altaire, where he is responsible for product development, engineering, technical sales support, and product commissioning. Altaire is a manufacturer of smart HVAC systems that deliver healthier air quality, improved occupant comfort, prolonged asset lifetimes and reduced operating cost and environmental impact.
Altaire manufactures Advanced Dehumidification Airstream Pretreat Technology (ADAPT) Pretreat and DOAS units which condition incoming outdoor air before entering the air handling unit, decoupling the moisture load of outside air from the thermal load of the building.
Jim has participated and won the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) Green Proving Grounds (GPG) for HVAC Dehumidification 2021 with Academy Energy Group and Altaire Systems. Jim was also a key contributor to the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE®) / U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) – “Guide for Resilient Energy Systems Design in Hot and Humid Climates".
