Hi %%FirstName%%,

There's still some time to save your seat for this week's webinar on HVAC and Air Filtration Best Practices to Minimize Infectious Disease.

Ensuring healthy spaces for building occupants means rethinking air filtration in an effort to remove harmful airborne particles. Can improved air filtration and better ventilation actually help reduce the spread of coronavirus? Or does recirculated air — as from air conditioning systems — help spread the virus? Those have been the million-dollar questions really since the start of pandemic. This webcast will address effective short and long-term HVAC and air filtration strategies.
