Buildings operate as a system and perform in a comfortable, safe, and healthy way when well-designed and operated as designed. Sometimes buildings are idled or shut down without proper understanding that this can problems in the building envelope, water systems, and HVAC. Recently, we have experienced unprecedented times related to the pandemic. We saw universities close and reopen, vacated hospital wings and hotels closed while others had few guests. This seminar brings together experts from different areas of building performance to explain the consequences of such idling, and design concerns for idlebuildings.
