The recent Covid-19 pandemic caused serious considerations of methods of control of airborne contaminants in all buildings. Control of these pathogens in tall buildings has it’s own challenges when considering stack effect and typically heavy occupant densities. This seminar will discuss some of these special challenges and offer possible solutions for reduction ofairborne pathogen transmission among occupants.
