What Are the Best Practices for Ventilation in Public Spaces?
Best practices for ventilation in public spaces involve a combination of natural and mechanical ventilation. Key strategies include:
Ensuring a minimum air exchange rate of 6-12 air changes per hour (ACH) in healthcare settings. Using high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters in HVAC systems. Implementing Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation (UVGI) to neutralize airborne pathogens. Regular maintenance and inspection of ventilation systems to ensure optimal performance.
