ASHRAE Learning Institute (ALI) is planning three webinars and a detailed course focused on mitigating potential health risks during the reopening of buildings closed because of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.
The webinars, each of which is free to view, are:
- “Re-Opening Our Schools: Activities and Recommendations”—Taking place June 16 from 10-11 a.m. EDT, this webinar will explore expert positions indicating that ventilation and filtration provided by HVAC systems can reduce the airborne concentration and, thus, risk of transmission through air of COVID-19.

- “Managing Your HVAC Systems to Help Mitigate the Spread of SARS-CoV-2 in Buildings”—Scheduled to take place June 29 from 2-3 p.m. EDT, this webinar will discuss strategies for mitigating the spread of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that creates COVID-19. To register, click here.
- “Analysis of Airflow Patterns and Flow Path of Airborne Contaminants”—Set for July 21 from 11 a.m. to noon EDT, this webinar will demonstrate the impact of supply-airflow path, induced-airflow path, and exhaust-grille placement on contaminant control. To register, click here.
On July 8 from 8-10 a.m. EDT, ALI will offer “COVID-19 and Buildings: Re-Occupation After Lockdown,” a two-hour short course drawing upon guidance from an international team of indoor-environment and building-system experts on protecting occupant health. The cost is $65 for ASHRAE members and $95 for non-members. It is worth two professional-development hours. To register,
