Education

This will be targeted primarily at schools. It should have a look that appeals to schools and architects. I will use it digitally, but also would like to print it out. Don't feel constrained to a typically paper formats though. Just keep print design in mind please.

90% of schools are OVER or UNDER ventilated. Which side of the line does your school fall? OVER Yay! Your teachers and students have a great environment to do what they do best. Unfortunately that sweet breeze comes at a price. ⁃ HVAC is your largest utility expense and chances are, up to 50% of that literally went out the window. ⁃ Too much outside air means your HVAC system is oversized with more electrical service than necessary. ⁃ Excessive outside air can create excessive moisture problems. Is your dehumidification system up for the challenge? UNDER You have saved some serious dough, but at what cost? ⁃ Students in well-ventilated classrooms perform significantly better on standardized tests than their peers who received inadequate fresh air. (University of Tulsa's indoor air program http://www.healthyfacilitiesinstitute.com/a_47-Study_Classroom_Ventilation_Affects_Student_Performance) ⁃ Contaminants already present in classrooms such as molds, viruses, odors, cleaning chemicals, art supplies, adhesives, paints textiles and chemicals may contribute to more sick days and absenteeism. ⁃ You may be held liable for real or perceived risks that exist in the child's learning environment. Fact: 15% of schools w/ ventilation systems inhibit or unplug it's operation altogether. Fact: ASHRAE 62. 1-2007 - and International code IMC 2009 require 10 CFM per student + Classroom Sq/Ft x 0.12 Example, if you had 25 students in a 900 sq/ft classroom it would look like this: 25 people X 10 CFM = 250 CFM (CFM = Cubit Feet per Minute) 900 Sq/Ft X 0.12 = 108 CFM 250 + 108 = 358 CFM for that classroom. Ventilation requirements have changed 3 times in the last 25 years and are likely to change again in the future. Can your ventilation system adapt? Precision Climate Management by Bard walks that line. Every day, every condition, under any load. Bard ventilates perfectly all day, everyday.

I had envisioned some sort of play with OVER & Under visually, but if not done well, I suppose it'd be confusing. I would like a comparison between the over and under ventilated schools though. A visual representation of CFM's for the ASHRAE Code would be very cool to help people visualize how many cubic feet of air much go in and out of a school. Please include visual cues for the over and under information.

I technically cannot use the "PCM Bard.png" logo until it's revealed next year. Please use the Black Bard logo right now, but please design off cues from the new bard logo.
