Dirty Ducts
Can you remember the last time you checked your facilities HVAC system? According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, (EPA), maintaining a healthy indoor environment in schools, whether they are open or not, is an important part of defensive cleaning related to the new coronavirus, COVID-19 pandemic. SERVPRO® of Austin & Albert Lea wants facilities managers in the Austin and Albert Lea area to be aware of these EPA guidelines for developing routine HVAC systems maintenance:
- Ensure school HVAC systems are operating properly, with outdoor ventilation air maintained at or above design minimum values. Determine whether HVAC systems comply with the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Standard 62.1 ventilation requirements at the system level and in the breathing zones of all occupied spaces.
- Employ filtration and gas-phase air cleaning strategies to further improve IAQ, in conjunction with source control strategies and maintaining minimum ventilation rates. Change filters regularly and ensure condensate pans are draining.
