Part 1
Max Sherman was a senior scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California, retiring in 2016 where he ran a research group for over 30 years.
It is hard to overplay the impact Max has had in our sector; even a cursory look at published papers on airtightness and infiltration, air quality or ventilation it's no surprise to see Max as an author, co-author or cited at some point in the work.
He has been a long-standing contributor to standards through ASHRAE

Recipient of the Distinguished Fellow Award, Environmental Health Award, and Exceptional Service Award.

He is a former member of the board. Currently Vice-Chair of 241 a standard on the control of infectious aerosols and member of the Environmental Health Committee
