Clearing the Air – A Data-Driven Approach to Maintaining Indoor Air Quality (Room 202 A/B, WI Center)

Indoor air quality is a concern in many schools due, in part, to the average age and conditions of most school buildings. Managing IAQ in schools presented even greater challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic, forcing many schools to remain closed while they sought out safe solutions.

Learn how multiple Wisconsin school districts proactively approached IAQ through data-driven strategies and analysis, external assistance and validation, and collaboration with teachers’ unions, IAQ authorities and industrial hygienists to bring students and staff back safely using existing ventilation equipment. Hear how building on this work will shape preparedness for the future and build confidence in staff, families and students.
