#COVIDCO2 readings in an Ottawa classroom. Never reached a steady state. At 3152 ppm every breath contains 7.2% of other people's breath‼️‼️ 🤮. #DontShareYourAir #Onted
Classroom has below 0.4 air changes per hour.

Target MIN: 3-4, Good: 4-5, Excel 5-6, Ideal 6+
/1
For COVID, air changes from HEPA filtration are equivalent to outdoor air. Typical classroom portable HEPA air cleaner:
400 CFM on max at 65 dB adds 2.7 ACH
200 CFM on med at 55 dB adds 1.3 ACH.
Two on med would be 58 dB.

BUT there's still the cognitive impact of 3000ppm!
/2
Here's the back-calculation assumptions used to reach 0.4 ACH in a classroom. I'm assuming 12 foot ceilings for an older naturally ventilated school. Other values are typical as well. The calculator throws an exception in red at 19 students, but not at 18.
