According to a recent study from Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, "School Ventilation: A Vital Tool to Reduce COVID-19 Spread," ventilation improvements in K-12 schools are a cost-effective public health measure.

Steril-Aire’s Ceiling HEPA Pro+ is a HEPA air filtration system designed for installation above drop ceilings that runs independently to deliver an increased number of clean air changes per hour without interfering with HVAC system performance; minimizes sound for occupants; does not take up floor space like typical portable air cleaners; delivers market-leading clean air delivery per-dollar of any installed filtration system, the company notes; and distributed return and supply promotes better delivery of clean air and allows for different engineering strategies to be employed to protect occupants, Steril-Aire adds.
The publication was created to be used alongside ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 62.1-2019 and explains how to apply the criteria set out by the standard, by providing examples, sample calculations and best practices for professionals concerned with ventilation and indoor air quality in nonresidential buildings.
The 2021 edition delivers critical guidance for designers and operators of these front-line facilities and incorporates 17 addenda to the 2017 edition of the standard.
The ASHRAE Epidemic Task Force has been developing and disseminating guidance for the control of airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2 since its formation in March 2020.
