Description
Over the past year, the COVID-19
Pandemic drove an intense focus on the risk of virus transmission in indoor
environments, including commercial, institutional, and public buildings.
Jeff
Nichols, PE, CEM, BCxP, LEED® AP,
will summarize the research and facilitate a discussion about airborne virus
transmission. Additionally, he will highlight the importance of ventilation
strategies in reducing the probability of infection.
Increased ventilation provides a
direct dilution benefit and is one of the primary methods for reducing
concentrations of indoor contaminants. ASHRAE’s Epidemic Task Force postures
that building operating and maintenance procedures should adhere to current accepted
ventilation standards.
Additional supplementary guidance suggests that temporarily
increasing ventilation rates above current levels until the community risk of
infection returns to safe levels may be warranted.
This webinar will review
what we have learned over the past 12 months and what are the best ventilation strategies
today and future considerations going forward.
