Research & Professional Activity WHAT TANG HAS BEEN UP TO...

Tang Lee is taking a leave of absence from his winter term teaching duties to teach at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. He has been invited to teach environmental controls, human comfort, and indoor air quality and to help set up a building science laboratory for the Department of Architecture. Apparently they have funds to purchase equipment and to hire technical staff for this new laboratory, so Tang will finally be able to set-up his dream laboratory. He will be gone from January 1, to April 30, 1997. You will likely be able to contact him via e-mail at: tang-lee@cuhk.edu.hk. Tang is in the unique position of having been retained by both sides of a legal dispute regarding indoor air quality. Six teachers in Regina are alleged to be permanently disabled as a result of the indoor environment in their school. The lawyers for the Saskatchewan Teachers' Federation, and the Regina School Board have split the cost of the indoor air quality investigation. E.S. student Karen Beaulieu assisted Tang with the site investigation. This summer, Tang was in San Francisco to teach 50 professors from across North America, how to teach indoor air quality. A curriculum package was developed last year which was disseminated to over 100 universities. Denise De Biasio, Tony Santini, and Greg Woods helped prepare this package. Denise and Tony accompanied Tang to San Francisco to assist with the workshop. A copy of the curriculum package can be viewed and downloaded from: http://www.ced.berkeley.edu/cedr/vs
