For the first time ever, ASHRAE and the CDC have released specific ventilation targets for all occupied spaces. This unprecedented action will have far-reaching positive effects on public health.

Join our webinar to learn about what it means for hospitals and what approaches you can take to comply without significant disruptions to your operations.

  • ASHRAE, the standard-setting organization for hospital buildings, has released a draft of its new standard for pathogen mitigation that mandates ventilation rates in patient rooms and waiting rooms be 4-6x higher than the status quo
  • While the new standard allows for several approaches to compliance, the operational disruption, energy consumption, and cost of each varies widely
  • Unifying sensors and GUV devices with software enables a dynamic approach to pathogen mitigation, responsive to changes in risk
