Enhanced HVAC Infection Control: Offices

Continuing our look into occupancy specific building types this paper examines the unique characteristics and challenges of mitigating the spread of airborne diseases in office buildings. Our primary objective will be to answer the question:

What should I do to my office building to improve the safety and comfort of its occupants?

We will review the common systems types found in office buildings and make recommendations for improving the infection control potential of these systems. We will also examine how well these systems can be adapted to meet the latest infection control standards and recommendations.
