Webinar: Solutions and Resources to Address COVID-19 in Schools: Establishing Lasting Improvements to Ventilation and IAQ

Recorded February 10, 2022

Webinar Description

This webinar examines the state of our schools and show participants how to make the case to implement building upgrades to improve indoor air quality (IAQ), reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission, and optimize school building energy performance. Learn how to determine your building system type and implement ventilation best practices and building design guidelines, such as mechanical ventilation, natural ventilation, filtration, in-room air cleaners, and germicidal UV (UVGI).

Webinar Viewers Will:

• Make the case to implement building upgrades to improve IAQ, reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission, and optimize school building energy performance.
• Determine your building system type and implement ventilation best practices and building design guidelines, such as mechanical ventilation, natural ventilation, filtration, in-room air cleaners, and germicidal UV (UVGI).
• Use federal stimulus funding to make lasting improvements to school buildings and ventilation systems.
• Replicate best practices to improve building health and energy efficiency used in school district case studies.
