Engineering Assessment of HVAC Indoor AirQuality: Performance Verification for Energy Efficient Infection Control
Project Description
Covid has drawn attention towards efficient building ventilation. Existing solutions are inadequate to test air quality result in safety and facility professionals operating blindly with enormous building safety, occupational health, and financial consequences at stake. This team will be collaborating with a company called SafeTraces. The project intends to verify ventilation and filtration performance in indoor spaces with real-world data. This project will verify engineering controls and HVAC performance for airborne pathogens to keep people safe in any indoor environment. Balancing energy efficiency while delivering human life safety require some new tools. This team will develop and conduct test scenarios based on a set of realistic and representative conditions within the subject test building (Astronomy Building #0300). This testing design and implementation includes a survey risk assessment and dilution test assessments of specific locations within the building in order to identify potential hotspots, assess ventilation and filtration, verify area isolative efficacy, and inform remediations.
