Nationally renowned and award-winning industry expert in wood floor drying, structural drying and mould remediation for both commercial and residential properties. She is currently the Director of Building Environmental Wellness Group \u0026amp; Ivi is also the Managing Director BULCS Holdings Pty Ltd which specializes in restoration, Indoor Air Quality and HVAC\/Ventilation Industry. In the last few years, Ivi observed the importance of indoor air quality and collaboration across industry sectors to explore innovation and better outcomes for occupants in buildings. To this end, she was one of the founding members of the Australian Chapter and Chapter Director (2016 -2017) for Indoor Air Quality Association Chapter (IAQA) in Australia, now a thriving association driving collaboration and innovation in Australia thanks to all the efforts of its members and President of the IAQAA. Ivi enjoys working collaboratively as expert and specialist, and often partners with other businesses within the industry, but also with businesses outside of our industry to achieve innovative outcomes. She is often called in as a consultant and project manager for large projects. Ivi has undertaken extensive training in Australia and the USA and has been invited to China to share her expertise. Industry Contribution Ivi has won a variety of awards, including Most Innovative Commercial Projects and Residential Projects, back-to-back in 2014 \u0026amp; 2015, The Australian Service provider of the Year 2018. Over the last 15 years, Ivi sat on a variety of industry boards and currently is a contributing\/voting member for the IICRC (Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification)\u2013 S760 (Wildfire Smoke Standard) and the ASTM D20 Indoor air quality, D07 Woods. Ivi also sit on the IICRC (Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification)\u2013 S760 (Wildfire Smoke Standard) OH\u0026amp;S committee for both the cleaner and restoration guild as a voting member. She also sit on the Victorian committee for the ATFA (Australasia Timber Flooring Association). Ivi holds a variety of workshops and training to share her experience and knowledge. Ivi has also published articles in magazines such as R\u0026amp;R, Timber Floor, and InClean.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u00a0\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EPresentation Description:\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EI am presenting a case study that will show how wildfire smoke(bushfire) enters building via ventilation systems and a study on a very tight apartment and how pressure differential prove to be a potential health risk. During the 2019 Bushfire fire in Australia there was more the 18000 hectares of land impacted by the fire and 6000 building destroyed. More the 38-person perished from the fire with many suffered from the following: Health Impacts of Smoke Inhalation: Common side effects of smoke exposure are: Shortness of breath \u00a0Wheezing and coughing \u00a0Burning eyes \u00a0Running nose \u00a0Chest tightness \u00a0Chest pain \u00a0Dizziness \u00a0Psychological distress The tools use to conduct the study follows ASTM E779-10 Standard Test Method For Determining Air Leakage Rate By Fan Pressurization \u0026amp; ASTM E714 Standard Test Method for Determining Air Change in a Single Zone by Means of a Tracer Gas Dilution. Here is comment made by \u201cBy: Simo Hostikka Associate Professor, Fire Safety Engineering, Aalto University School of Engineering, Finland\u201d Fire-induced pressure has not been considered a threat for structural or occupant safety in fires. The situation may be changing as the building envelopes are becoming much more air-tight due to the energy efficiency requirements and the construction of high-rise buildings. In this project, we investigated the effects of the building\u2019s airtightness, ventilation configuration and the fire growth rate on the peak overpressures inside the fire compartment and smoke spread within the mechanical ventilation system. Conclusion: This presentation will finally provide evidence that there is still more work to be done in this area. Smoke from fire and or wildfire is dangerous and can flow through the building via pressure, ventilation and or infiltration. Better building design as simple of direction of fire doors could be life or death situation due to fire pressure. And\/or ventilation system and tightness could be another factor which will be presented here.
