According to the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) (2017), the sewer network’s grade of the United States (US) is grade “D+”, making it one of the worst infrastructure assets in the US. In addition, the Canadian Infrastructure Report Card (CIRC) (2016) states that more than half of their linear wastewater assets’ physical condition were ranked between very poor to good states, with a total replacement value of $47- billion.

In design of ultraviolet photo-catalytic oxidation (UV-PCO) air cleaner system, the focus must be in selecting an appropriate catalyst that can transform all contaminants to harmless gases. Some produced contaminants may promote or inhibit the photocatalytic reactions, or even lead to deactivation of the catalyst. The PCO reactions of two classes of VOCs, light alcohols and alkanes (C5-C10) were studied with different types of nano titanium dioxide catalysts.

They also reveal that plenty of room remains for improvement and call upon a broader effort to promote energy effective measures during the design and operation stage of buildings. Ventilation systems are, in the very nature of their design, a means to bring in outdoor air, and to trap and dilute the contaminants. This session covers the technical and regulation information needed to be considered during the design and operation of buildings employ natural/hybrid ventilation system.
