Covid-19 – Ventilation Within Buildings
As we all know by now, the importance of buildings being well ventilated in order to stop the spread of coronavirus and other airborne diseases is paramount. The government currently recommend the below advice with regard to mechanical ventilation within buildings.
“Make sure mechanical ventilation systems are maintained in line with manufacturers’ instructions. Set ventilation systems to using a fresh air supply and not recirculating indoor air, where possible. Assessing the requirement and performance of ventilation systems in many environments requires engineering expertise. In addition, ventilation design may be specific to the setting. For some existing and older buildings, ventilation systems may not have been designed to meet current standards and additional mitigations may be needed. If you are unsure, seek the advice of your heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) engineer or adviser.”
