CIBSE - Emerging From Lockdown
As part of their Emerging From Lockdown series, CIBSE Knowledge has recently released two new publications: COVID-19: Ventilation (v5) and COVID-19: Air Cleaning Technologies (v1).
Ventilation Guidance
This COVID-19 ventilation guidance is for business owners, employers, building owners, managers, operators and those maintaining buildings.
It is intended to give business owners and managers an outline of ventilation systems commonly encountered in buildings and to advise on how they can be used, now and in the future, to maintain adequate air quality and reduce the risks of airborne infection.
It is also intended to assist building managers and those who operate and maintain building systems in identifying the areas of a building, and elements of ventilation systems, that may need particular attention in order to reduce risk to building occupants.
It is relevant to all types of building ventilation system, whether natural, mechanical or full air conditioning.

COVID-19: Air Cleaning Technologies
COVID-19: Air cleaning technologies allows users to assess the variety of air cleaning devices currently marketed for the removal of SARS-CoV-2, and to discover which air cleaner, if any, will effectively reduce transmission risk in a given space.
This guidance will be of use to lay-readers, and also to those requiring a detailed background of air flow performance metrics, pollutant and viral decay, and tools assessing the performance of air cleaners in context.
