In a remarkable show of strength and interest, the first two editions drew audiences from over 20 countries in Asia, Africa, Americas, Europe and in the Middle East region. Equally remarkable was the high level of engagement, driving home the compelling need for in-depth discussions on a wide range of topics on indoor air quality in this time of COVID.
While many countries are still grimly engaged in battle to flatten the curve on the virus, many have arrived at a point where they feel emboldened to end the lockdown, either out of confidence that they have overcome the threat to an extent that it won’t overwhelm their medical infrastructure, or out of a sense of compulsion to open their economies.
The loosening of the lockdown is a profoundly significant development and poses a challenge to the HVACR industry to help prepare commercial office, shopping, education and mall spaces for occupancy – for after all, the wheels of the economy need to turn. In this context, what are the varied IAQ solutions that can either be immediately implemented or incorporated in design, construction, testing & commissioning and building-retrofit protocols in the medium and long terms? The third edition of the IAQ Webinar seeks to answer this question.
