The ASHRAE Epidemic Task Force has been established to help deploy ASHRAE’s technical resources to address the challenges of the current pandemic and future epidemics as it relates to the effects of HVAC systems on disease transmission in health care facilities, the workplace, home, and public and recreational environments.
The EPA's temporary enforcement discretion policy applies to civil violations during the COVID-19 outbreak and addresses different categories of noncompliance differently.
Looking beyond the immediate crisis, designers are brainstorming the ways codes and standards can be improved to prevent disease transmission in buildings.
The course, “Designing and Operating High-Performing Healthcare HVAC Systems,” is one of 11 offerings in ASHRAE’s Spring online instructor-led course series, taking place on April 7.
