Boston University Unveils Ventilation Improvements
As scientists continue to study ways the coronavirus can be spread, one question involves aerosol droplets that people exhale while breathing. Can those droplets circulate in the air long enough to be picked up by a ventilation system and recirculated through building ducts? There has not been a clear answer. But what scientists and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have said — unequivocally — is that one of the most important things employers can do is to improve building ventilation and air circulation wherever possible.
That’s what Boston University’s Facilities Management & Operations staff is doing.
