VENTILATION
VENTILATION ASSESSMENTS FOR FRESH AIR
The science is crystal clear: ventilation is vital to maintaining a healthy indoor environment. Good ventilation can reduce the transmission of airborne diseases, reduce the concentration of contaminants, and provide clean air to support general health and wellbeing.
The COVID-19 pandemic has focused attention on the importance of indoor air quality, particularly the need for appropriate ventilation.
EVENAIR are your indoor ventilation specialists – we provide practical, science-based solutions to achieve optimal indoor ventilation results. Our technicians will analyse the space to be ventilated and will audit the existing air circulation conditions. You will then receive a tailored report with recommendations to enable you to improve ventilation. We also provide you with a matrix that specifies your occupancy limits and guidelines according to official rules and guidelines recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO), Safe Work Australia and AIRAH (Australian Institute of Refrigeration, Air conditioning and Heating).
VERIFIED SOLUTIONS
The WHO issued Roadmap to improve and ensure good indoor ventilation in the context of COVID-19. These guidelines and rules, as well as several restrictions aimed to slow the transmission and reduce the impact of airborne diseases such as Covid-19.
On the basis of the WHO guidelines, Safe Work Australia recently updated and issued guidance on improving air ventilation in indoor workspaces. This guidance includes information on modifying HVAC systems as well.
Safe Work Australia also took into account the British Occupational Hygiene Society ventilation tool and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s guide to ventilation in buildings.
EVENAIR uses these agencies recommendations to assist our clients in their adaptation to new and safer ways of working. We understand the obligation to protect employees and to reduce transmission of disease, while at the same time ensuring that companies continue to operate effectively.
The airborne transmission of COVID-19 demands risk reduction measures. EVENAIR technicians will advise on how using measures such as air flow testing and ventilation adjustments can help to provide better air quality in workplaces, homes and venues.
Ventilation is recognized as a key element in the mitigation of long-range aerosol transmission of all types. It is now more important than ever that HVAC systems function effectively. All the scheduled testing, maintenance and repair work must be done in a timely manner. Proper functioning of ventilation and air conditioning systems has become one the main areas of risk reduction in relation to aerosol transmission.
VENTILATION SERVICES
EVENAIR conducts ventilation assessment and consulting services according to the key technical resources available on AIRAH, Safe Work Australia, other resources and guidelines published by industry (ASHRAE, OzSAGE) and international health bodies like the WHO, CDC, etc.
An EVENAIR Online Assessment can be your first step towards making improvements to your ventilation quality. It’s free and will help us quickly work out what service is best for you. And we promise that if we can advise a single straight forward solution without a site visit, there will be no cost to you.
If your issue requires an EVENAIR Onsite Assessment, our staff will make an EVENAIR technician site visit appointment.
EVENAIR services include:
- Onsite Inspection
- Air Flow Testing
- Ventilation system documentation
- Site dimension and opening audit
- Recommendation and guidance on identifying necessary improvements of the system
EVENAIR also advises clients on non-ventilation strategies.
To effectively reduce the risk of airborne transmission of COVID-19 it is required to also apply non-ventilation strategies. The complex application of both ventilation and non-ventilation risk mitigation strategies can help to reduce the risk significantly.
RESPOND TO CHANGING HEALTH REGULATIONS
Our HVAC and ventilation engineer will formulate a tailored matrix that specifies your occupancy limits and guidelines according to accredited rules and recommendations from the World Health Organization (WHO), Safe Work Australia and AIRA (Australian Institute of Refrigeration, Air conditioning and Heating).
The use of HEPA filtration machines, floor fans and other air moving devices can be modelled to create additional occupancy scenarios.
Of course, it remains important that everyone also follows current health department advice such as:
- Face mask requirements
- Vaccination requirements
- Social distancing between desks, breakrooms, conference rooms, elevator, etc
- Personal hygiene
- Cleaning requirements
- In non-residential settings, the HVAC system can be run at maximum outside airflow for 2 hours before and after the building is occupied; etc.
All of the tools mentioned above can be universally in indoor environments. Although, we understand that applying these strategies to different buildings, occupancies, and activities can be challenging. The additional effect of environmental and seasonal changes can complicate the solution even further.
EVENAIR will help you make the right ventilation decisions for changing situations.
The decision on the tools and methods applied to reduce the risks are made by the business owner with the expert help. Our experts will guide you each step of the way.
