COVID-19

A Program at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health




WE HAVE LONG KNOWN THAT BUILDINGS PLAY A CRITICAL ROLE IN INFECTIOUS DISEASE
TRANSMISSION. WE’RE MAKING SURE THEY’RE PART OF THE CORONAVIRUS CONVERSATION,
TOO.

We have established that healthy building environments play an important role in
combatting the spread of infectious disease, including coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2).
Read about the latest news, research, reports, and tools we’ve developed to
fight COVID-19 transmission and ensure that healthy buildings can be used to
control the spread both now and as we move forward


COVID-19 RISK CALCULATOR

We created a tool to help you better understand how to reduce the risk of
COVID-19 transmission in indoor environments using affordable control
strategies. Learn how mask wearing, social distancing, personal hygiene,
portable air cleaners, ventilation, and activity can contribute to the
likelihood of COVID-19 exposure. Creation of this tool was based off of modeling
of multiple super-spreader events in some of our latest research (Azimi et al.,
2021).




PORTABLE AIR CLEANER SIZING TOOL (PACS)

The COVID-19 pandemic has elevated the importance of indoor air quality since
airborne transmission is the dominant exposure pathway for SARS-CoV-2. Proper
ventilation and filtration can help improve building occupants’ health by
removing airborne particles from the air.

The Harvard Healthy Buildings Team developed a portable air cleaner sizing tool
(PACS) to choose properly sized air cleaners for indoor spaces based on the room
dimension, ventilation level, and air changes per hour. In reverse, the
calculator can also be used to define the appropriate room size for air
cleaners.

MAXIMUM CO2 CONCENTRATION CALCULATOR

The maximum CO2 Concentration Calculator supports the use of real-time carbon
dioxide (CO2) sensors indoors. Users enter their target air changes per hour,
room size, and occupancy. In return, the tool calculates the estimated
CO2 concentration to help evaluate ventilation rates in indoor environments.

ENGAGEMENT WITH THE LANCET COVID-19 COMMISSION


Harvard Healthy Buildings Webinar on Improving Indoor Air Quality in Long-Term
Care Facilities with Members of the Lancet COVID-19 Task Force for Safe Work,
Sage School, and Safe Travel.

 

Dr. Joseph Allen is chair of the Lancet COVID-19 Commission’s Task Force for
Safe Work, Safe School, and Safe Travel. Click the photo to visit their site for
detailed, scientific guidance on the recovery and safety of these necessary
indoor spaces.
