Return with Confidence: Assessment & Action Plan

Begin your return with confidence.

For a limited time, we are offering a free consultation to assess and build a customized plan based on your specific buildings and needs spanning:

INDOOR AIR QUALITY

• Overall building space pressure checked.
• Outside air meets guidance best practices.
• Filter ratings meet guidance best practices.
• Indoor air temperature and humidity meet guidance best practices.

BUILDING CONTROLS

• All temporary control settings are appropriate for current operations.
• Indoor air temperature set points meet guidance best practices.
• Indoor air humidity set points meet guidance best practices.
• Alarms are set up with proper communication paths.
• Disable demand control ventilation strategies; verify OSA dampers are working properly; keep OSA dampers open and system running 24×7 at min speed (do not shut OSA dampers during unoccupied times).
• Controls are programmed to have a 100% OSA flush strategy to be used prior to re-occupancy.
• Garage exhaust is programmed to run two hours before daily occupancy.

OCCUPANT ENGAGEMENT

• Educational signage in place to remind facility staff on safe operations (e.g., PPE for filter changes and updated procedures for filter disposal).
• Touchless lighting and plumbing fixtures are installed with educational signage.
• Communication protocol in place with contacts for updates and emergency notifications.

MECHANICAL SYSTEMS

• Filters are clean and properly installed with no air bypass potential.
• Condenser coils are clean.
• Evaporator coils are clean.
• Fan motors and assemblies are working properly.
• Occupant attempts to change air flow (e.g., blocked vents) are removed to eliminate stagnant air.
• Outdoor air and return dampers are operational.
• Heat recovery wheels are inspected for leakage and cross-contamination.
• Pumps are operational and in good working order.
• Drain pans and condensate drains are clear of obstruction and standing water.
• Visual and aural inspections are conducted for troubling noises, sounds, vibrations, and odors.
• Chemical treatment of cooling towers and loops verified.

PLUMBING SYSTEMS

• Water Management Plan developed and implemented to prevent legionella blooms.
• Water recirculation systems are operational and properly programmed.
• Run water fixtures and test water quality for appropriate chlorine, pH, and temperature levels before usage.
• All P and U traps are wet on plumbing drains.
• Domestic hot water generation and storage is set at or above 120ºF to prevent legionella blooms
