Improving your building’s ventilation is a great start as you re-engineer your cleaning process and create a healthier work environment. As you consider re-engineering your cleaning process, keep in mind the benefits that are available to you: - Cut costs by using a proactive and preventative approach to your cleaning process - Ensure transparency by having a highly detailed cleaning schedule - Provide a cleaner, safer, and more inviting work environment - Increase productivity by keeping your employees healthy  ## Ventilation Improvements Improvements to ventilation systems can help reduce exposure to viruses in our buildings and lower the risk of disease. According to the CDC, “Reoccupying a building during the COVID-19 pandemic should not, in most cases, require new building ventilation systems. However, ventilation system upgrades or improvements can increase the delivery of clean air and dilute potential contaminants.” Here are a few tools from the [CDC](https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/ventilation.html#fans) to improve ventilation: - **Increase the introduction of outdoor air:** - **Use fans to increase the effectiveness of open windows:** - Ensure ventilation systems operate properly and provide acceptable indoor air quality for the current occupancy level for each space. - **Rebalance or adjust HVAC systems to increase total airflow to occupied spaces when possible.** Along with the tools listed above, companies should also schedule regular cleaning and disinfecting of ventilation both inside and out. Using some of the technology now being used for assurance, can become proactive when used in ventilation systems. Killing everything that can contaminate air flow on a regularly scheduled proactive program is cost effective and increases productivity.
