ASHRAE’s board of directors has announced a commitment to support the expedited development of a national indoor air quality pathogen mitigation standard. The goal is to finalize the consensus-based, code-enforceable standard within six months.
ASHRAE will set up a balanced team of internationally recognized experts to work on an accelerated timeline to develop the standard. Delivery of the standard will include:
- Both design and operation
- Alternative paths (prescriptive or performance), in which equivalent clean air would be the goal
- Testing, verification, documentation (commissioning) and periodic re-commissioning
