Speaker: Daniel Int-Hout III, Krueger

In order to meet the increased expectations of building occupants, designers must be aware of the conflicts between cost economics, occupant productivity and life cycle costs. Buildings that do not meet the needs of the occupants often result in expensive redesign, or worse, result in lawsuits against all parties involved. Recent court cases make it imperative that designers understand the changing 'rules' of the road. Recent specifications for VAV components are often flawed, and meeting specifications will result in unacceptable spaces, and poor IAQ.

With the large number and types of VAV terminals available on the market, we are getting a number of questions regarding the proper selection and interpretation of VAV terminal specifications. This talk will cover proper engineering specifications and designs for this broad product range, with updates on the latest rules and knowledge regarding VAV box type, linings, accessories and air flow limitations.

Dinner Presentation: Methods for Effective Room Air Distribution

Subjects:
1. Air Distribution: Selecting components and system parameters for effective air mixing
2. Thermal Comfort: Determining optimum occupant comfort strategies
3. Acoustics: Accurately predicting end use environments
4. IAQ: The changing face of ASHRAE Standard 62, and upcoming developments

Bio:
Mr. Dan Int-Hout, Chief Engineer, Krueger, is responsible for the presentation of technical data and advanced application engineering for the Grilles, Registers and Diffusers, as well as the VAV air terminals, produced by Krueger. Mr. Int-Hout originally joined Krueger in 1981, but has had several other jobs in the industry, in engineering, marketing and product research roles, with Owens Corning Fiberglas, Carrier, Titus and Environmental Technologies. Mr. Int-Hout has been in the air distribution research and design business since 1973, has a Masters degree in Business Management from Central Michigan University, and a Bachelors degree in Biology and Physics from Denison University.

Mr. Int-Hout has written over thirty technical papers and articles on VAV system performance, acoustics, air diffusion, controls and occupant comfort. He was recently Chairman of both ASHRAE Technical and Standards Committees on Thermal Comfort, is a past Chairman of several other related ASHRAE Technical and Standards Committees, as well as ASHRAE Standards and Environmental Health Committees. He received the ASHRAE Distinguished Service Award in 1993. He is currently the Chairman of the ARI Committee on Applied Acoustics (885) and Chair of ISO 205 U.S. Panel on Thermal Comfort. He is presently a member of the ASHRAE Technical Activities Committee (TAC).
