ana032: HVAC vs. COVID: Will Schools Spread Airborne Infection? | with Goshe and Joe from Angineering.Tech

August 20, 2020

If COVID-19 is airborne, will it spread in classrooms? Can HVAC systems reduce this risk, or will they spread it through entire school buildings?

Goshe King and Joe Green are HVAC engineers and the voices behind the Angineering Tech podcast.

We have a detailed technical discussion covering:

- Biomechanics of the virus (aerosol vs. droplet spread)
- Anatomy of an HVAC system
- How ventilation and filtration can reduce probability of infection
- UV and HEPA air purifiers
- Can schools be retrofitted with effective systems?
- Operational strategies for HVAC systems
- Masks – what can they do, and what can’t they do?
- Joe’s crackpot theory
