[Nmtriblibs] FW: New REALM research on ventilation in buildings

[Moore, Patricia, DCA]

I know many of you are in older buildings and probably don't actually have much ventilation.  Perhaps some of the information may help in decision-making for portable air cleaners.  This type of equipment is eligible for GO Bond reimbursement.

REALM briefing on Ventilation

This research briefing, prepared by Battelle, provides the latest research on the effects of ventilation on the spread of COVID-19 that may affect building operations, policies, and procedures, including the following:

* One study suggesting that adding a supply fan into window openings may provide an easy, cost-effective way to improve ventilation.
* A model assessing the use of portable air cleaners (PACs) in reducing COVID-19 infection in poorly ventilated scenarios found that placing PACs in the center of a room provides the optimal location for reducing the risk of infection.
* Several studies examining the use of ultraviolet (UV) technology in minimizing the spread of SARS-CoV-2 in enclosed spaces.
