COVID-19 HVAC Guidelines for Schools

To reduce airborne virus transmission, Public Health Ontario and ASHRAE recommend the following best practices for HVAC systems:

  • Maximize outdoor air ventilation and minimize recirculation.
  • Upgrade to MERV 13 or higher filters to remove virus-sized particles.
  • Maintain proper filter maintenance and system upgrades where possible.
  • Operate systems in occupied mode during school hours and continue running them pre- and post-occupancy for better air circulation.
  • Perform routine inspections and preventive maintenance to prevent system breakdowns during extended use.
