If you read this, you'll see that it matches the recs in our Lancet @CommissionCovid report on "The #FirstFour Strategies Every Building Should Pursue".
🧵
Lancet: Commission building systems (give them a tune-up)
WH: "verify proper ventilation in federally owned buildings"
Lancet: improve ventilation
WH: "Providing tools and guidance documents for improving ventilation"
Lancet: Upgrade to MERV-13 filters
WH: "Established MERV-13 filters as minimum"
Lancet: Use portable air cleaners, if needed
WH: "Schools can use funding provided through the American Rescue Plan to improve ventilation in schools...portable air cleaners" (amongst other things)
This new across-agency focus on IAQ goes beyond the #FirstFour that we recommended, and represents and incredible advancement of #HealthyBuildings principles across the Fed Gov't. They are walking the walk.
