Course Length: 3 hours
This course focuses on effectively applying ASHRAE Standard 241 to reduce the indoor risk of airborne disease transmission with minimal cost and energy use impact. It assumes familiarity with the fundamental requirements of the standard covered in the companion course Understanding ASHRAE Standard 241 Control of Infectious Aerosols – Background, Overview, and Key Requirements. It presents the assessment, planning, and implementation process described in the standard as well as operation and maintenance requirements. Key application tasks, including the determination of existing equivalent clean air delivery and requirements for increasing it, are described in detail. Attendees will use the tools found in Standard 241’s appendices, including the Building Readiness Plan template and Equivalent Clean Air Calculator, to prepare an example facility for operation in the Infection Risk Management Mode.
