ASHRAE: HVAC system ventilation, filtration can reduce coronavirus infections
“In light of the current global pandemic, it’s critically important that ASHRAE responds with guidance on mitigating the transmission of the virus, as well as ventilation and filtration recommendations,” says 2019-20 ASHRAE President Darryl K. Boyce, P.Eng. “ASHRAE has a significant role to play in ensuring safe and healthy building environments and these statements offer the expert strategies needed at this time.”
To help HVAC contractors combat the further spread of coronavirus infections, ASHRAE has published two statements to define guidance on managing the spread of SARS-CoV-2 with respect to the operation and maintenance of heating, ventilating and air-conditioning systems in buildings.
