New Publication: Novel VOC Breath Tracer Method for Studying Aerosol Transmission

New Publication: Novel VOC Breath Tracer Method for Studying Aerosol Transmission

by Mira | Nov 28, 2022 | News, Publication, Research

It’s important to stay six feet apart, but eventually it stops mitigating disease transmission risk. Several studies suggest that transmission from a distance greater than six feet explains a significant number of COVID-19 superspreading outbreaks. Because of this,...
New Paper: Toward Integrating Numeric Disease Transmission Risk in Energy Code and Ventilation Standards

New Paper: Toward Integrating Numeric Disease Transmission Risk in Energy Code and Ventilation Standards

by Mira | Nov 8, 2022 | News, Publication, Research

What if every building you entered was filtering out airborne pathogens, harmful particulates, and actively monitoring the microbial particles in the air all while saving energy? We have a new paper out on how standards can be updated to require safer air in energy...

Global Building Health: CLEAN 2020 Summit Meets to Assess COVID-19 Limitations & Discuss Population Health Solutions

by Mira | Oct 4, 2021 | News, Presentation, Publication, Research

Business leaders, building scientists, engineers, microbiologists and more are working together to reopen facilities around the world. In the CLEAN 2020 Summit, these experts, including our own team, created a well-rounded picture of the challenges and sticking points...
Keep Those Windows Open: New Research on Aerosol Surveillance of COVID-19

Keep Those Windows Open: New Research on Aerosol Surveillance of COVID-19

by Mira | Sep 3, 2021 | News, Publication, Research

COVID seems like it is here to stay, and as we move into an endemic era, we need reliable and cost-effective solutions to support safe indoor congregation. If air contamination levels can be examined in buildings, we may be able to better control and identify COVID-19...
