Eurovent Middle East is calling on building owners, operators and facility management providers as well as healthcare facilities to carefully observe the following recommendations by the industry to minimise risks related to the transmission of airborne viruses through ventilation and air-conditioning systems and support government efforts to contain the outbreak.
Proper ventilation, with a higher degree of fresh air supply and air exchange, the use of the correct filter types and careful maintenance can be important factors in the containment of the coronavirus outbreak.
Eurovent Middle East outlines basic recommendations which directly or indirectly bear on the spread of viruses and the well-being of people in occupied spaces at eurovent.me. These recommendations are based on an industry wide consensus and provide guidance on best practises in relation to air filtration and ventilation in the current crisis. While in most cases ventilation systems are a given and cannot be modified in the short term, conducting careful assessment of the ventilation installations and carrying out the correct maintenance measures can assist in preventing the propagation of the virus.
