Presentation Topic:Aerosol Mitigation in Schools and Recreation

ASHRAE has been advancing human well-being through sustainable technology for the built environment since 1984. Since then, the society's publications have lead the industry in indoor air quality standards. Amidst the global pandemic, expertise in this category have never been of greater importance than they are today. In response, ASHRAE has created the global Epidemic Task Force to gather information and assess risks in the indoor environment, including HVAC systems and general strategies to mitigate the spread of the SARS-COV2 Virus.

The Halifax Chapter is fortunate to welcome Epidemic Task Force member, Kyle Hasenkox, for this months meeting. Join us to hear an overview of the most up-to-date information and recommendations regarding the mitigation of risk due to aerosol spread of SARS-COV2 through careful management of building operations, including the operation of heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning systems .
