COVID-19/Infectious Agent HVAC Ventilation Assessment
Preparing for and ensuring a safe return to work and school
REDUCE POTENTIAL COVID-19 EXPOSURE WITH PROPER VENTILATION SYSTEMS
Let IEA’s professional engineering consulting team assist in restoring your confidence during return to work and school initiatives. While HVAC ventilation systems are not identified as a primary transmission mode for COVID-19, properly functioning HVAC ventilation is key to reducing potential exposure in occupied spaces. When occupants are using the facility, ventilation can assist in reducing the spread of infectious agents through the following ways.
- Introduction of outdoor air
- Proper air circulation and exchange
- Sufficient filtration system
IEA’s experienced staff provides you with an air quality evaluation in order to compare system operation to COVID-19 and outbreak planning needs identified by ASHRAE, CDC, WHO, and AIHA.
