Engineering Priorities for COVID-Safe Facilities

So, does the solution lie within the facility HVAC systems? In most cases no, for the simple reason that most buildings were engineered to provide general comfort and not to provide disease abatement. Education and conscious effort is key for prevention of COVID-19. The best practices regarding containment will remain with sanitation of surfaces, exercising judgement across the board, and plain common sense (Hand washing, avoid Handshaking, surface sanitation, use masks and social distancing). The best prevention still lies with good personal hygiene, sanitation, a conscientious effort to avoid public or private gathering if sick and to a minor degree, the facility systems. Coronavirus is still a developing story at the time of this writing, so I hope some general guidelines help in establishing priorities and strategy for engineers at Hotels or Hotels turned in hospitals or coronatine rooms/areas.

While above help but you still need people to operate and maintain your hotels/ facility. Digitization is the first step, not only can control contamination, but also can seek support from the best engineering resources available from team B/outside help. Make your facility connect remotely for monitoring, controls, and automation.

Let’s understand, how much is the story unfolded for this virus…
