The new HVAC guidelines to handle the Impact of COVID-19

Before the pandemic, HVAC buyers were fixated on energy-efficient systems and automation. Air quality requirements were mainly limited to hospitals.

In contrast, the new normal after COVID-19 is underscored by greater and widespread awareness of the quality of indoor air and acceptance for desirable standards. So, what do standards mandate?.

ISHRAE has developed a guideline specific to COVID-19, a concise document containing extracts from many ISHRAE publications and standards focusing on air-conditioning and ventilation system design to mitigate the effects of the virus, according to Amitabha Sur, Director, Operations, Aircon India Incorporated, and National President, ISHRAE. “The aim is to dilute pollutants in the indoor air through proper ventilation and improved filtration.”.

ISHRAE has also recently launched a standard defining the process of HVAC system commissioning to eliminate instances of the failure of efficient design owing to improper commissioning and not following a process of validation of the design, adds Sur..
