09 November 2020:

HSE advice on the use of air conditioning and ventilation during the coronavirus pandemic. This guidance is based on the latest information from the HSE and may be updated as and when new information becomes available.

It is mandatory that employers by law, must ensure an adequate supply of fresh clean air in the workplace and this has not changed because of the coronavirus pandemic. Good ventilation can help reduce the risk of spreading the coronavirus by refreshing the air in an environment. The HSE asks employers so focus on improving general air quality in the work place through good ventilation, preferably through fresh air intakes such as air purifiers, fresh air fans into the buildings existing air treatment systems or mechanical systems or air exchange systems. Where possible, consider ways to maintain and increase the supply of fresh air, for example, by opening windows and doors to bring fresh air into the work environment. If you want to maintain heat or cooling in a work environment look to use a air exchange system which takes air out of a work area and brings fresh air from outside, exchanging the heat from the inside air to the fresh air coming in. Most high end air exchange systems come with a plus 80% efficiencies meaning heat loss and heating costs are maintained at an acceptable level. Air purifiers are also a great way to clean the air inside a work area. Some air purifiers have a 99% particulate capture rate meaning almost the smallest of particulates down to 0.1 microns are captured (coronavirus 0.3 microns estimated).

Also consider if you can improve the circulation of outside air and prevent pockets of stagnant air in occupied outside spaces. This can be in areas such as service yards or kitchen service areas where bins, packaging, refrigeration condensing units and other heat extraction equipment dump heat and inside extracted air creating pockets of possible infection. You can do this by using fans and air intake fans for example, providing good ventilation can be maintained. As with circulating air conditioning systems the risk of transmission of the virus through the use of ceiling and desk fans is extremely low providing there is good ventilation in the area it is being used in. In a dental environment or surgery area for example the current advice for the work area is 10 air exchanges per hour, this is required after every treatment.

The risk of air conditioning spreading coronavirus (COVID-19) in the workplace is extremely low as long as there is an adequate supply of fresh air and ventilation. You can continue using most types of air conditioning system as normal, but, if you use a centralised ventilation's system that removes and circulates air to different rooms it is recommended that you turn off recirculation and use/add a fresh air supply to the existing system. Ths can be with a fresh air make-up system into ducted, cassette systems etc to keep areas fresh. You do not need to adjust air conditioning systems that mix some of the extracted air with fresh air and return it to the room as this increases the fresh air ventilation rate. Also, you do not need to adjust systems in individual rooms or portable units as these operate on 100% recirculation. You should still however maintain a good supply of fresh air ventilation in the room. If you’re unsure, ask the advice of your heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) engineer or adviser.
