GreenHome Institute

A new calculator to help determine safer spaces

Dr. Newell is back for his regular occurring update with GHI on where we are at with COVID19 and how Building Science plays a role.Today's indoor ventilation standards create Covid incubators. The objective of the course isa presentation of the Safe and Healheir Space calculator, a spreadhseet tool for designing better spaces. The calculator is a communication platform for indoor space stakeholders (eg, in schools, stakeholder are teachers, students/parents, administration and facilities staff) to plot a path that creates healtheir spaces. Examples of safer and healither spaces will be discussed (eg, classroom, restaurant, home, office, gym) including field data collected from several venues. Additional background resources beyond webinar (references, reports, and instructional videos) will be provided.Continuing Education Units (CEUS) 1 hour in<ul><li>Green Business Certification Inc.
