IAQ in schools report released

The Center for Green Schools at the U.S. Green Building Control (USGBC) has released a report outlining how different U.S. school districts have managed indoor air quality (IAQ) over the past year.

ASHRAE provided technical support for the report, Managing Air Quality in the Pandemic: How K-12 Schools Addressed Air Quality in the Second Year of Covid-19, which is the second report released by USGBC looking at IAQ improvements at schools during the pandemic. The report highlights the urgent need to implement airborne infection control strategies to control current and future pandemics, seasonal epidemics and improve IAQ overall.

Key findings indicate the top challenge for schools in implementing IAQ measures was that buildings’ HVAC systems were not designed to implement the recommendations.
