Healthy Spaces Checklist

Operation and building teams need to work together to devise an assessment of the building or facility’s operational needs to determine what needs should be considered in the short-term versus long-term planning. Harris recommends that these are done considering the transmission mechanisms to help determine which mechanical systems should be influenced to minimize impact to the operational needs.

These considerations should not just focus on the on-going pandemic but consider longer-term health and wellbeing issues such as influenza, improved comforts, energy-use impacts and so on.
