Improving indoor air quality can help reduce transmission of COVID-19 and other respiratory illnesses. In this webinar, you’ll learn how to create a healthier, safer environment for workers, residents, clients and visitors through:  

• Simple, low-cost measures like portable air filtration and bathroom fans that exhaust to the outside;
• Optimizing Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) systems;
• Strategic use of upper-room ultra-violet disinfection;
• Practical protocols like clearing the air in the room between groups;
• Applying metrics such as CO2 levels to measure your progress as you go.
