As Manitoba schools prepare to reopen, the ASHRAE Epidemic Task Force has developed HVAC systems operation guideline to help mitigate the airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2.
The guideline:
- Includes checklists such as starting up HVAC systems prior to occupancy and checks and verifications to maintain during the academic year.
- Addresses determining building readiness, filtration upgrades, facility design recommendations and controlling infection outbreak in school facilities.
