Course description: CEU Events: Healthy Design for Today and Tomorrow: Clean Air & Wellness from the Top Down

CLASSROOM, WEBINAR, STREAMED EVENT, LIVE INSTRUCTOR - 1 HOUR

The events of the past two years as related to the pandemic are redefining standards for health and safety protocols in all aspects of life, including indoor spaces. As employers, educators and building owners seek to reopen their facilities, they are looking for ways to meet the heightened expectations of their workers and occupants. Guiding these decisions are recommendations from industry organizations such as the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air- Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the Environmental Protection Agency (EAP) which offer guidance on how changes to building operations, particularly HVAC systems, can reduce airborne exposures.
