Let Office360° help with the EPA Clean Air in Buildings Challenge

By June 17, 2022 No Comments

This year, the EPA launched a Clean Air in Buildings Challenge to help business leaders and building managers assess and improve their indoor air quality (IAQ) to help keep occupants safe and healthy.

While it might seem like a big task for those of us who know little to nothing about the factors that affect IAQ, the EPA compiled a guide with action steps to help anyone get started. We put together the key takeaways of that document in our own post last week. But why should you and your business care about indoor air quality? And how can you get started today?

Why Care?

“Individual actions and layered prevention strategies remain important measures for reducing the spread of viruses like COVID-19.” – EPA Clean Air in Buildings Challenge Guide

Alongside other prevention tactics, improving your building’s ventilation is a huge part of disease prevention. 

“The risk of getting COVID-19 varies according to individual susceptibility and the number of virus particles to which a person is exposed. The fewer virus particles in the air, the better,” according to the CDC. Increasing ventilation allows airflow to constantly refresh the spaces in your building and decrease the number of airborne viruses, the primary way COVID is transmitted. 

As always, safety is everyone’s responsibility. Taking a combination of the EPA’s recommended steps toward best practice alongside other prevention measures will ensure the safest and healthiest working conditions for you and your team.
