The Importance of Indoor Environmental Quality as Schools and Universities in Puerto Rico Prepare for the New School Year
Zimmetry Environmental provides air, surface and infection control testing, monitoring and consulting services to identify and mitigate exposure risks to mold, bacteria, viruses and chemicals.
Ongoing cleaning and disinfection procedures for surfaces, and proper ventilation and filtration for air quality, are all going to be key components of a successful new school year.
In a few weeks, schools and universities across Puerto Rico will be opening their doors for the new school year. The return to classrooms for students, teachers and faculty, following the COVID-19 pandemic, has elevated the importance of healthy indoor environmental quality (IEQ) to new levels.
In years past, reopening a school building meant examining HVAC systems and checking for water damage, mold and even potentially flushing building water system to minimize Legionella exposure risks. Moving forward, ensuring adequate ventilation, filtration and infection control procedures have all been added to the equation.
“School administrators and facility managers are being tasked with ensuring healthy indoor environments at new levels since COVID-19 entered our lives,” said Harry Pena, President of Zimmetry Environmental. “Ongoing cleaning and disinfection procedures for surfaces, and proper ventilation and filtration for air quality, are all going to be key components of a successful new school year.”
In Puerto Rico and across the Caribbean, the building science and infection control professionals at Zimmetry Environmental are helping to achieve this goal. Their staff of industrial hygienists and IEQ experts are dedicated to identifying and resolving indoor environmental issues in schools and other buildings. Zimmetry offers building assessments and inspections; HVAC system evaluations; 3rd party confirmation of cleaning and disinfection protocols; air, surface and water testing for environmental pathogens; and training services to ensure the resources are there to keep schools and universities operating safely.
