Labs Session - Apr 5, 2013

• Labs Updates
  • Flex Friday
  • Update NV guidelines for spring 2013 (see Sep. 14, 2012 agenda)
    • Natural Ventilation Guidelines - NV Season - criteria for when to even check to open windows?
      • If the forecast high for the day is 70 deg F or greater and the current outside air temperature is 60 deg F or greater, then the NV Daily Worksheet should be used to determine if it is a NV day or not.
      • This is intended to prevent simultaneous heating and cooling (using the natural ventilation to cool the building down to or below our heating indoor set point).

• Food for Thought

• Session Work
  • Labs Planning for 2nd quarter
