HVAC
HVAC - standing for Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning is the technology of indoor and vehicular environmental comfort which serves the purpose of providing thermal comfort and acceptable indoor air quality. HVAC systems are important to maintain healthy building conditions with regards to temperature, humidity, using fresh air from outdoors, and removing moisture, odors, smoke, heat, dust, airborne bacteria, carbon dioxide, and other gases. Understanding how HVAC systems can play a role in controlling the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 is essential to reduce the risk of spreading the virus indoors.
