IAQ 2010: Airborne Infection Control - Ventilation, IAQ, and Energy-Conference Proceedings on CD PDF

This CD contains 53 presentations and 45 papers exploring the role of HVAC in airborne infectious disease transmission, evaluation of the various design and control strategies and technology, pandemic preparedness, and airborne infection control for various applications such as health care facilities, air and surface transportation, schools, offices, etc.

Besides addressing thermal comfort and IAQ issues, buildings and other enclosed environments are increasingly faced with the challenge of providing a healthy environment. The 2003 SARS episode, the current H1N1 pandemic and the avian flu have transformed the built environment landscape, raising not only significant public health concerns but also economic implications on a global scale. Airborne infection and its control in the built environment pose considerable challenges to mankind that rival the need to also address climate change and environmental sustainability. This will have tremendous impact on the design, operation and maintenance of buildings and other enclosed environments. IAQ 2010 reviews the state of knowledge about airborne infection in such environments and helps define future directions.
