VENTILATION IMPROVES AIR QUALITY IN SCHOOLS

VENTILATION IMPROVES AIR QUALITY IN SCHOOLS

The educational landscape has shifted drastically. The threat of COVID-19 exposure in the air has drawn significant attention and concern for the health and wellbeing of students, educators and staff.

As learning shifts back from virtual to in-person instruction this fall, increasing ventilation to enhance indoor air quality (IAQ) is paramount.

Increased ventilation can provide enhanced indoor air quality in schools and peace of mind for students, educators and their families. In their latest live event, RenewAire VP of Sales & Marketing Nick Agopian welcomed VEIC Senior Energy Engineer, HVAC Rachael Mascolino, and they discussed this important matter.

The two industry experts helped facility managers, administrators, educators, parents and students prepare for the impending return to the classroom and shared:

  • A foundational knowledge of how mechanical ventilation works
  • How ventilation can be used alongside filtration to decrease the risk of viral transmission
  • How energy recovery ventilation can reduce energy and HVAC costs while still enhancing IAQ
  • How ventilation and filtration improve the health and safety of everyone on a school’s campus

The event also featured a robust discussion on how climate and geography can impact ventilation strategies, as well as statistics that highlight its importance for the return to classrooms this fall and beyond.
