As we look back over the past 8 months, we’ve seen how highly-contagious viruses can change life as we know it in an instant. Coronavirus forced today’s leaders in every industry to look at their state of facilities operations and adapt to prevent viral spread.
Leaders from ASHRAE, the Centers for Disease Control, governmental officials, etc., had to come together to guide building owners and facilities directors on preparing buildings to re-open after months-long closings and maintain buildings in the future.
Indoor Air Quality is at the top of the list.
People spend approximately 90 percent of their time indoors, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, and indoor air pollution is a significant threat to the health and wellness of individuals. The adequacy of ventilation systems determines indoor air quality, the rate of air changes per hour, temperature and humidity levels, etc.
When a facility has poor indoor air quality, a building could be classified as “sick,” meaning occupants may experience irritation, allergies, asthma, and disease, including a heightened risk of the rapid spread of coronavirus.
