Seminar 50 -- How does a Type of Filter Affect Energy Consumption?

This product is a zip file that contains files that consist of PowerPoint slides synchronized with the audio-recording of the speaker, PDF files of the slides, and audio only (mp3 format) as noted.

This seminar provides a description and critical analysis of the efficiency level of various particulate and/or gaseous filters and their impact on energy consumption. Results apply to residential homes/buildings and some office buildings. It was found that particulate and/or gaseous filters greatly improve air quality and consume little energy.
