Topic: Healthy Buildings: Designed for Life
Presented by Guest Speaker: Ken Fulk
Join us for an engaging and insightful session centered on the importance of creating healthier indoor environments and how building design directly impacts human well-being. This presentation highlights ASHRAE President Bill McQuade’s theme, Healthy Buildings: Designed for Life, which emphasizes the critical role our industry plays in shaping safer, more sustainable, and occupant-focused spaces.
With more than 32 years of experience in the HVAC&R industry, Bill McQuade brings a unique perspective rooted in sustainability, government affairs, and a lifelong appreciation for the built environment. His passion for the outdoors and early hands-on experiences have shaped his philosophy that buildings should not only protect us—but enhance our overall quality of life.
Ken Fulk, Principal at RWB Consulting Engineers, will deliver this presentation and share key insights into how these concepts translate into real-world applications. With extensive experience in engineering, leadership within ASHRAE, and public service, Ken brings a well-rounded and practical perspective to the topic.
This is a great opportunity to learn, connect, and gain valuable knowledge on how we, as industry professionals, can design and operate buildings that truly support the people who occupy them.
