ASHRAE welcomes Eric Hebbard and Johnnie Allan from Oxygen8 to our January meeting. Eric and Johnnie will challenge the common misconception that improving indoor air quality (IAQ) comes with a massive increase in building costs and create a compelling case for holding occupant health paramount. Using advanced heat recovery ventilator (HRV) technology, they will discuss how to modernize new and existing ventilation system design to maximize indoor environmental quality and minimize costs. Furthermore, they will review how HRV’s impact a building’s TEDI score and how this relates to the BC Step Code.
Johnnie is a Regional Sales Manager at Oxygen8 and has taken part in many HVAC&R projects across North America. Johnnie is currently attending the Sustainable Energy Management program at BCIT and he focuses his efforts on advocating for the use of sustainable ventilation systems in high-performance buildings, specifically in commercial, mixed-use, and industrial developments.
Eric is a Business Development Manager at Oxygen8 and has led teams in the US DoE's worldwide competition, Solar Decathlon, securing two consecutive wins in the single-family and multi-use residential divisions. Eric's efforts are focused on education on sustainable ventilation design and seeking opportunities to collaborate with fellow building sustainability enthusiasts on new projects.
