This webinar will open the eyes of engineers and building managers to the value of proper indoor air management for the health of all occupants. Join us for a fun and exciting session with Harvard Medical School trained physician, Dr. Stephanie Taylor, and mechanical engineer, Tom Berger from Applied Systems Northwest, that will overturn incorrect presumptions, and give you clear tools to design and manage HVAC systems to support public health and improve the “bottom line”.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- Learn about cutting edge research at the intersection of health and indoor air quality.
- Identify yourself as a thought leader when meeting with customers, win projects by being “ahead of the curve”.
- Learn how to manage your own home and office environment to improve your health and performance, and create a research project with your findings.
- Revitalize your passion for your work by learning about the biology of indoor air, and by understanding how vital your work is to human health.
- Understand the tremendous financial benefits of supporting occupant health.

Speakers
Stephanie H. Taylor MD, M Arch, CIC, RSPH(UK), MCABE, ASHRAE member CEO and Founder
Taylor Healthcare Consulting, Inc.
Dr. Stephanie Taylor graduated with honors from Harvard
Medical School in 1984. She practiced clinical medicine and
did academic research in cellular growth mechanisms for the
next 20+ years. During this time, she became very concerned
about new infections that many hospital patients contracted
while they were being treated for unrelated issues.
Determined to better understand the connection to the
hospital’s built environment and airborne infections and to
find a practical solution to ensure better patient healthcare,
she obtained her Masters Degree in Architecture from
Norwich University.
After several years working in an architecture firm focused on
hospital design, she founded Taylor Healthcare
Commissioning, Inc., a nationally recognized consulting
company that specializes in designing, building and
maintaining hospitals and other commercial buildings for
optimal patient health and occupant safety. Dr. Taylor
continues to expand her work through ongoing studies and
client assignments that allow her to better understand the
relationship between the built environment and occupant
health that result in the decrease of both acute and chronic
diseases through management of indoor air quality and other
building parameters
Thomas A. Berger, PE President Applied Systems NW
Tom Berger is a mechanical engineer who works for Applied Systems NW in Vancouver, WA, USA. His company specializes in dealing with the many useful properties of moist air in an HVAC sales practice.
Starting his career with an AHU manufacturer, Pace, in 1984, Tom was able to develop practical knowledge in heat
transfer, materials science, acoustics, vibration, air flow and control, along with flow visualization and
computational flow dynamics. Further, research done at the Pace labs was instrumental in developing some of the
very first “clean” air handlers to be used in the making of micro circuits. Tom was awarded a patent in 1996 for a
simple air flow measuring device that has no impedance, is highly accurate and costs almost nothing. Virtually
every fan manufacturer in the world now uses that device.
In 2000, Tom left Pace as Vice President of Engineering and joined the sales team at Applied Systems NW. He has
continued to increase his knowledge of the HVAC world with challenging projects in creating ideal environments
for everything from lithium-ion batteries to seed archives to surgery suites, always with an eye toward moist air as
the point of expertise.
Tom is an OSU Beaver and graduated from Oregon State University in 1982, BSME. He is an ASHRAE member. Tom
lives in Portland, OR. He has one son who is a junior at OSU.
