The Integrated Bioscience and Built Environment Consortium (IBEC) is running a free webinar that will look at ventilation as a strategy for reducing infection transmission.
The third installment of IBEC’s four-part CLEAN Lessons Learned series, the webinar is dedicated to IAQ and its impact on infectious disease transmission in the built environment.
“In this session, we will illuminate the pivotal role of ventilation in maintaining healthy indoor environments and discuss its effectiveness as a tool against spreading infectious diseases,” says IBEC.
“By delving into the nuances of effective ventilation systems, we aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of how these systems can be used strategically in various settings to mitigate the risk of infectious disease transmission.”
The keynote speaker will be University Distinguished Professor and Charles P. Lunsford Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering Linsey Marr. A group of expert panellists will also take part in the webinar, including William Bahnfleth, Professor of Architectural Engineering at Penn State and chair of ASHRAE Standard 241 – Control of Infectious Aerosols, and Patrick Chambers, Affil.AIRAH, Australian Discipline Leader, Mechanical Project Engineer, Associate Director at Stantec.
The webinar will be held on Friday, March 1 at 9am (AEDT).
