Ventilation and Virus Mitigation in Schools: Creating a Game Plan to Reduce COVID-19 Risk and Make Lasting Improvements to IAQ
Description
On February 25, 2021, from 1:00 to 2:30 pm EST the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Indoor Environments Division will host an Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Tools for Schools webinar. Learn how to mitigate the risk of virus exposure and ensure healthy air in schools.
Attend this webinar to learn how to—
Create a game plan to help mitigate risk of exposure to SARS-CoV-2 in the near term and prioritize the top 5 IAQ improvements to ensure healthy air in schools in the long term.
Assess your current air handling capabilities (e.g., effectiveness of filtration, ability to bring in fresh air, and energy efficiency) and create a plan to improve air quality using a free online risk assessment.
Equip staff to implement risk reduction strategies and follow technical guidance from the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) to reduce exposure to viruses in schools.
Replicate best practices from a recent case study of how D.C. Public Schools—a large, urban district with an older building stock—used federal funds to improve the ventilation, filtration and system monitoring throughout the district.
Speakers
Speakers featured in this webinar will include:
Tracy Washington Enger, Facilitator, Indoor Environments Division, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
Raj Setty, P.E., LEED AP, President of Setty, Member of the ASHRAE Schools Technical Task Force
Chris Ruch, Director of Training, National Energy Management Institute
Brian Butler, Executive Program Manager, District of Columbia Department of General Services
