Leading HVAC manufacturer develops action plan to minimize
airborne pathogens in learning facilities
RACINE,
Wis., July 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Modine
Manufacturing Company (NYSE: MOD), a leader in technology in
the HVAC industry, is dedicated to increasing awareness about the
importance of indoor air quality (IAQ) in K-12 schools. As part of
that commitment, the company has developed a resource to help
school facility managers discover and address their school's IAQ
needs. The IAQ Action Plan template was developed to help facility
managers answer the White House's Clean Indoor Air in Buildings
challenge.
"The COVID-19 pandemic created a challenging atmosphere for
schools over the past few years, but it also created much-needed
conversations regarding the importance of IAQ inside K-12
facilities," said Kimberly Raduenz,
manager of strategic marketing for the IAQ division at Modine.
"COVID isn't the only airborne pathogen that can negatively affect
students and faculty. Flu, cold viruses and even VOCs can be
problematic for students or staff with health problems.
"At Modine, our goal is to provide guidance to assist schools in
improving their IAQ to ensure students get the best learning
experience possible. Students strive when IAQ is at a high level.
In light of the White House's challenge, our IAQ Action Plan
template gives facility and maintenance managers across the U.S. a
simple tool to improve indoor air quality. From addressing your
HVAC system's baseline to determining if you need to alter airflow,
this free template can be the catalyst for enhancing air quality
and providing students with a safe learning environment."
The Clean Indoor Air in Buildings challenge, presented by the
White House, was launched to improve IAQ in buildings while
reducing the risk of airborne pathogens such as viruses. Steps to
improve IAQ were provided by the challenge fact sheet and
include:
- Determine your HVAC system's
baseline
- Assess ventilation, filtration, and air cleaning
- Implement IAQ assessment approaches
- Verify or measure air delivery for each room or space
- Determine if you need to alter airflow in higher-risk areas of
your building
- Plan for regular maintenance
- Ensure your in-house IAQ experts receive ongoing education and
training.
