Schools are encouraged to take part in the Michigan K-12 Public School HVAC Assistance Program by completing a survey of their building's heating, ventilation and air conditioning system's ability to reduce infectious aerosol transmissions throughout the facility. A webinar is scheduled for February to explain the program and how to qualify for upgrade recommendations.
Nearly 60 school districts have participated in the program so far by completing a confidential survey to gather basic information about HVAC systems, recent improvements and current needs at a total of 328 buildings. The compiled survey data indicates that the most common action schools have taken is to change air filters more frequently or upgrading to better filters. The most common desires for schools is to switch out filters for more effective models and perform full HVAC upgrades. The full results will be used to assess the overall status of Michigan schools' HVAC systems and identify future program needs.

A Michigan K-12 Public School HVAC Assistance Program: Outline and Guidance webinar is scheduled for 1-2 p.m. Feb. 3, and those interested can register to participate. The webinar will provide information about the application process for both K-12 public schools and licensed mechanical contractors.
Better air quality and updated school infrastructure creates a healthy learning environment for students, teachers and staff and supports improved academic performance.
Schools that complete the survey are eligible to request free assistance with recommendations to reduce infectious aerosol transmission from an approved licensed HVAC specialist (or the school's licensed HVAC contractor). The Western and Eastern Chapters of the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) will help with completing the surveys and provide a free, one-hour HVAC consultation. To request survey assistance or to schedule a consultation, contact Sonya Pouncy, MI ASHRAE Chapters' COVID-19 Task Force chair, at sonya.pouncy@gmail.com.
