Time: 7:00pm - 8:00pm (Registration at 6:45pm)
Venue: Online Seminar via Zoom
Organizers: HKIE-Building Services Division & CIPHE Hong Kong Branch
There are over forty thousand buildings in Hong Kong. Each building has more than 10 toilet vent pipes, which are used to balance the air pressure inside the pipes. Nonetheless, these pipes mainly discharge the smell and bacteria of the excrement to the air.
As most of the buildings in Hong Kong are concentrated in the urban area, and the exhaust vent pipes located on the rooftops do not have any purification facilities, the emissions from these vent pipes has caused serious air pollution. Hong Kong is a small city yet densely populated, these pollutants from vent pipes would certainly jeopardize our health.
Today we are living under the COVID-19 epidemic. Almost one hundred people are infected everyday, with some of the cases having an unknown cause. Only through improving the air quality would help us to resume a healthy life.
In this seminar, two speakers (Homer YU Sau-ning, M.H. and Carlos CHAN Wing-cheung are invited to share some innovative design (Vent Pipe Ionizer, Positive Air Pressure Attenuator (P.A.P.A.) and Air Admittance Valves (AAV)) and data analysis on mitigating COVID-19 dispersion risk in residential buildings of HK. They will share the Vent Pipe Ionizer, P.A.P.A. and AAV working principles and technique, elaborate their suppression mechanism against/ avoid airborne viruses and mold, equipment required and supplement with demonstration samples.
