#1 March CIC ASHRAE Webinar
The Ethics of Money: Bidding, Payment Applications and Change Orders
Changed conditions on a project is one of the most common, and often most severe obstacles in establishing a mutually beneficial relationship between the engineer, the architect and the contractor.
This presentation provides background on what constitutes a changed condition and how the risk of changed conditions can be mitigated for all three parties, while protecting the interests of the building owner.

Speaker:
Patrick Brooks
Pat Brooks is a Senior Project Manager for SMACNA, based in Cincinnati, OH. Headquarters is in Chantilly VA.
He has 35 years of direct experience include sales, engineering, and production management in the HVAC industry, specifically ductwork manufacturing. With a Bachelor’s and Master’s in Mechanical Engineering and an MBA from The Ohio State University, Pat was an industry leader in the factory-fabricated spiral duct market while working as a Director of Manufacturing for McGill Airflow and as a General Manager for Eastern Sheet Metal. He has written static regain duct design programs and is the chair of the subcommittee for ASHRAE’s Duct Design Guide. Pat is also a member of TC5.2, the ASHRAE committee for Duct Design. He is the Technical Chair for SPIDA. These positions have made Pat key in helping HVAC system designers everywhere understand and appreciate the energy efficiency advantages of proper duct design. His unique background allowed him to help representatives and now contractors to understand duct systems and how they should be installed and operated.

#4 2020 Midwest Healthcare Engineering Conference
WATCH A RECORDING OF OUR VIRTUAL MEETING HERE
(VIRTUAL MEETING) Increasing Awareness of Safety Risks to Healthcare Team Members from Infectious Aerosols in Perioperative Spaces
10AM - 11AM, NOVEMBER 4th
Abstract: In the wake of the recent pandemic, the need to protect healthcare team members from exposure to potentially infectious aerosols has become increasingly evident. Healthcare team members can be exposed to infectious aerosols, such as SARS-CoV-2 and Tuberculosis, in perioperative settings such as operating rooms where blood and body fluids can be aerosolized during procedure to preparatory or post anesthesia where intubation or extubating processes occur. The expulsion of infectious aerosols designed move particle contaminants away from the patient are directed exterior areas of the space before being exhausted or retuned.
OnSite-LLC will present a select number of nearly one hundred (100) studies where in-room potentially infectious aerosol contamination levels in areas surrounding the patient were gathered an analyzed. These areas include where healthcare team members typically perform their duties ranging from anesthesia to imaging technicians and circulating nurses. Based upon the presentation of the in-room contamination data, strategies and recommendations on how to reduce or mitigate risks of accidental infectious aerosol exposure to healthcare team members will be discussed by a cross functional panel of facilities, nursing, infection prevention, surgery, and leadership
