An introductory session on thermal comfort, indoor air quality standards, and ventilation requirements for conditioned spaces. This course covers the fundamentals of human thermal comfort, the factors that influence it, and the engineering standards that govern indoor environmental quality in commercial and institutional buildings.
Participants will gain a practical understanding of ASHRAE Standards 55 and 62.1, Ontario building code ventilation requirements, and how to evaluate and maintain acceptable comfort conditions and air quality in conditioned spaces.
"Exceptional. Superb course."

The module covers ASHRAE Standard 55 (thermal environmental conditions for human occupancy), ASHRAE Standard 62.1 (ventilation for acceptable indoor air quality), and the relevant Ontario Building Code requirements. Both are legally mandatory in Canadian buildings.
Demand-controlled ventilation (DCV) adjusts outdoor air supply based on actual occupancy, typically using CO2 sensors. In spaces with variable occupancy, DCV can reduce ventilation energy by 20 to 40 percent compared to systems supplying constant design airflow. ASHRAE 62.1 and 90.1 both address DCV requirements.
All CANETCO courses are delivered live online via Zoom. Participants interact directly with the instructor and other attendees in real time, with workshops completed during the sessions.
