ATLANTA (March 31, 2020) –ASHRAE
announced a Society-wide effort to respond to the current global
COVID-19 pandemic and provide guidance on how to ensure that buildings
are prepared for future epidemics.
The ASHRAE Epidemic Task Force has been established to help deploy
ASHRAE’s technical resources to address the challenges of the current
pandemic and future epidemics as it relates to the effects of heating,
ventilation, and air-conditioning systems on disease transmission in
healthcare facilities, the workplace, home, public and recreational
environments. The task force will also provide recommendations for
setting up temporary field hospitals in convention centers, arenas and
indoor stadia to deal with surges.
The primary role of the task force is to maintain communication with
members, industry partners, building owners, facility operators,
government agencies and the general public. Specific responsibilities
of the task force include:
