Safe event
Holding this event safely is crucial for SPOUG. Therefore, we will be conducting free antigen tests at the entrance, keeping a safe distance, wearing gloves, using hand sanitiser and wearing mandatory face coverings.
The REHVA or Federation of European HVAC Systems published a document containing recommendations and precautions to condition office spaces against Covid-19. According to their guidelines, Casa del Lector is implementing the following measures in its climate conditioning:
- Increased air refreshment from outside: Running air refreshment equipment programmes for longer hours. It is advisable to start them at least two hours before occupation and keep them running up to two hours after closing. However, ideally, they should be kept running all the time and left on minimum ventilation overnight. For equipment controlled by a CO2 sensor, it is advised to drop the limit below 400 ppm.
- Toilet ventilation: It is advisable to keep ventilation running non-stop, 24/7, ideally creating under-pressure in these areas to prevent outward transmission. Toilets are considered a particularly hazardous area for infection.
- Disabling energy recovery in air-conditioners and recirculation systems: These mechanisms recover power by crossing the inward and outward air flows. To prevent potential contamination of fresh air from the outside with outward air which could contain the virus, all energy recovery options should be disabled.
- Filter cleaning: Filters in both air-conditioners and indoor units cannot be considered effective in eliminating the virus as they lack the necessary filtering power. Therefore, it is advisable to keep up the usual filter cleaning frequencies. Filters should be cleaned using suitable protection equipment, and wearing gloves and FPP3 face coverings is recommended. For filters that are washed and not replaced, equipment disinfection companies recommend using government-approved virucides, although there are no studies on their efficacy.
- Not altering temperature or humidity setpoints in an attempt to contain the virus: It is impossible to keep up the temperature and humidity levels needed to kill the virus, so any such attempts are futile.
- Cleaning ventilation ducts is not advisable at it is not effective in containing the virus. These measures have been implemented according to an audit by the SAUTER company, who manage HVAC equipment. The aim of these measures is to prioritise safety against the spread of Covid-19 over a comfortable temperature.
