Two of the most significant global social threats, Climate Change and COVID virus transmission, are dangerously linked via COVID HVAC ventilation solutions.
Recent HVAC ventilation changes, in response to COVID-19 will have two severe environmental repercussions:
They will increase the HVAC systems’ atmospheric heating input directly, via increased associated HVAC exhaust, ranging from 417% to 670% over conservation circuit performance.
They will also increase GHG production ranging from 333% to 700% to produce the required heating of the increased outdoor air.
We have searched for data regarding live virus content in the HVAC supply air as it enters the occupied space with the HVAC dampers at maximum and minimum outdoor air conditions, with no such data being found.
