Learning Objectives |
Monday, March 6th: Assessing Ventilation Using Balometers
At the completion of this activity, the learner will be able to:
- Summarize existing ventilation guidance including CDPH Interim Guidance for Ventilation, Filtration, and Air Quality for Indoor Environments; ASHRAE; and Cal/OSHA Non-Emergency COVID-19 Prevention Regulations
- Establish a framework to assess building, office, and school ventilation risk, and to identify ventilation vulnerabilities
- Use balometers to collect ventilation data and to calculate air changes per hour (ACH)
- Describe how ACH relates to the removal of airborne contaminants
- Assess, analyze, and communicate ventilation risk and mitigation recommendations
Tuesday, March 7th: Assessing Ventilation Using CO2 & PM 2.5
At the completion of this activity, the learner will be able to:
- Summarize the Cal/OSHA Protection from Wildfire Smoke Standard
- Use carbon dioxide decay to calculate ACH and percent outdoor air (%OA)
- Use PM 2.5 decay to calculate %OA and evaluate filtration efficiency
- Discuss ventilation assessment methodologies, appropriate use cases, and safety considerations
- Assess, analyze, and communicate ventilation risk and mitigation recommendations
