Next Generation Outside Air Controls for Indoor Air Quality
The goal of this research is to develop an improved outside air controller for RTUs that balances occupant exposure to outside air pollution, infectious aerosols, and HVAC energy use.
Improving Indoor Air Quality in California Schools
Conducting research to understand and improve ventilation and indoor air quality in schools.
Aerosolized Sealant for Building Envelopes
Air leaks in buildings contribute to energy use by allowing uncontrolled airflow between conditioned and unconditioned spaces. Current methods for tightening building shells have relied primarily on manual sealing methods that are labor intensive and often insufficient, particularly in retrofit applications. WCEC patented, and is testing an aerosol envelope sealing process, AeroBarrier, to improve sealing effectiveness, reduce labor costs…
