Many of you are currently making important decisions while juggling reduced numbers. Knowing that good building maintenance lowers your energy costs and helps reduce the transmission of pathogens, here are some maintenance tips beyond those related to cleaning and disinfecting surfaces.

  • Let your fresh air systems run 24/7
  • Replace your filter sets at regular intervals
  • Use high efficiency filters in your HVAC systems

Ventilation systems :

Particles in ambient air are a means of transporting viruses. Air filtration plays an important role in reducing the risk of transmission.

The performance at which particles are removed by filters in HVAC systems varies considerably depending on the type of filter used and the size of the particles. The ASHRAE 52.2 standard lists 20 classes of MERV (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) filters according to their effectiveness in eliminating different particle sizes. A higher MERV therefore eliminates more particles.
