IAQ Campaign Highlights Workplace Safety
As businesses, corporations, associations, and other
entities prepare to have their employees return to offices, building
owners, operators, and engineers need reliable information on steps they can take
to help make the commercial spaces they control as safe and welcoming as
possible. A large part of that effort will involve a building’s HVAC and water
heating infrastructure. As part of its indoor air quality campaign, AHRI
provided detailed guidance to ensure safer commercial buildings. A properly
installed, properly maintained system, with adequate ventilation using outside
air, proper filtration, and appropriate humidity control – all of which are
accomplished through readily available technologies -- can go a long way toward
mitigating potential viral spread. Learn more here. Contact: Francis Dietz.
DOE to Host Integrated Sensor Systems Workshop
The Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and
Renewable Energy’s Advanced Manufacturing Office will host a workshop on
integrated sensor systems January 25-26, from 11 a.m. – 5 p.m., EST. It is the
first in a series of semiconductor research and development (R&D)
workshops, which will focus on technical aspects of semiconductors that have
the potential to transform the efficiency and competitiveness of U.S.
manufacturing.
This first workshop will focus on R&D challenges around
integrated sensor systems, with particular emphasis on manufacturing
applications. The workshop will solicit feedback on the needs and challenges of
various stakeholders, including potential integrated sensor users and the
researchers developing new sensor systems. Learn more here.

Certification Application Services Moves to FreshDesk
Beginning this Monday, January 25, Certification Program
Application Services will move to FreshDesk, AHRI’s online ticketing system that
supports Membership Services, the AHRI Directory of Certified Product
Performance, and iSTARS. This new feature will support users with questions
about the AHRI Certification Program and prospective applicants, and allow AHRI
staff to effectively manage application tracking. The system will provide
prospective program applicants with detailed information about the application
process. Applicants will receive on-demand access to their application,
including status details and their AHRI communication history.
Users will be able to submit their requests through the
“Support” widget on ahrinet.org and the AHRI Directory of Certified Product
Performance. With the launch of the ticketing system, certification@ahrinet.org
will be deactivated. AHRI will create tickets for manufacturers that are already
in the progress of applying to a certification program so there is no delay in the
application process. Contact: Domanique
Taylor.
Working Group Spotlight: Applied Sector
Following an analysis to identify necessary changes that
will address a high failure rate in the Forced-Circulation Air-Cooling and
Air-Heating Coils (ACHC) program, the Compliance Committee decided to increase
the percentage of basic model groups (BMGs) tested when applying to the program
(applicants) and when adding a new BMG from 30 percent to 100 percent. The committee also is
re-editing the ACHC Operations Manual (OM) to reflect these changes. It will be
submitted to the OM Board and the Certification Committee for approval. Learn
