Wade Conlan, P.E., CxA, BCxP, LEED AP® BD+C, Hanson’s commissioning and energy discipline manager, was part of an ASHRAE Epidemic Task Force team that lent technical assistance for air ventilation legislation.
U.S. Rep. Don Beyer, who chairs Congress’ Joint Economic Committee, introduced on May 10 the Airborne Act, which would give commercial building owners tax credits for conducting indoor air quality assessments and upgrading ventilation and air filtration systems.
Wade, who works at Hanson’s Orlando, Florida, regional office, is a voting member of the task force and is its Building Readiness Team lead. Technical comments from the task force were incorporated into the bill.
