HVAC Cross contamination
Started by Arpagano2, Sep 23 2021 09:50 PM
What is the expectation for an HVAC system in terms of filtration? If there is one unit for the whole site and different production rooms have there own filter (MERV Rating 17-20). How can you prevent allergen or cross contamination through HVAC amongst production rooms that share the HVAC system. Thank you.

This is a question best asked of a professional
Air SHOULD flow from cleanest to dirtiest, and the system should be pulling allergen laced air up and out, it should NEVER cross contaminate
Ask your maintenance manager to go over the system with you
Even if there is only 1 central system, the duct work should allow each room to be it's own entity, there should be a heat/cool vent and a return, the return should be vented to the outside
