<div>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. <i>This type of equipment is eligible for GO Bond </i><i>reimbursement.</i></div>

<div>REALM briefing on Ventilation</div>
<div> </div>
<div>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:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>* One study suggesting that adding a supply fan into window openings may provide an easy, cost-effective way to improve ventilation.</div>
<div>* 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.</div>
<div>* Several studies examining the use of ultraviolet (UV) technology in minimizing the spread of SARS-CoV-2 in enclosed spaces.</div>
