WHO Roadmap to improve and ensure good indoor ventilation in the context of COVID-19 The speakers set out some possible solutions that different sectors and policy makers should explore in mapping future strategies to aid the active suppression of the virus in both community contexts and workplace settings.

ISAG Insight: The Role of Aerosol Transmission & Ventilation in The Spread of COVID-19Īssistant Professor Orla Hegarty (School of Architecture, Planning and Environmental Policy, UCD) and Professor John Wenger (School of Chemistry and Environmental Research Institute, UCC) talk about the role of aerosol transmission and ventilation in the spread of COVID-19.Īssistant Professor Orla Hegarty has written on the importance of ventilation in the suppression of pandemic through lowering the risks with ‘healthy’ rather than ‘sick’ buildings. The document also has sections on wall-mounted air-conditioning systems and CO2 monitoring. OzSAGE Safe Indoor Air (Ventilation) RecommendationsĪn OzSAGE Safe Indoor Air Working Group (chaired by Geoff Hanmer) has developed some clear, concise recommendations and advice, including general principles of natural ventilation and mechanical ventilation, and some suggested do’s and don’ts. The group’s Ventilation and Vaccine-Plus page describes ventilation as the “key to our exit strategy”, with short-term needs for schools and workplaces, and longer term urban design solutions needed for our post-COVID world. The group aims to provide independent advice on public health, health systems and other policy matters relevant to COVID-19 control, including improving air quality in buildings and other preventative measures. Professor Lidia Morawska from QUT’s School of Earth & Atmospheric Sciences is on the OzSAFE Executive, specialising in ventilation and safe air. Members have frontline roles in public health, emergency medicine, mental health, the built environment, engineering, communications, law and public policy, among others.
OzSAGE is “a multi-disciplinary network of Australian experts from a broad range of sectors relevant to the wellbeing of the Australian population during and after the COVID-19 pandemic”.
