Ottawa Citizen: A board of health in Ontario is asking the province to modify building code ventilation standards.
The chair of the board of health in Peterborough, wrote to Health Minister Sylvia Jones and Municipal Affairs and Housing Minister Steve Clark this month. She urged the province to take quicker action towards ventilation standards for buildings.
“Improvements to the indoor air quality of the spaces we occupy are necessary and life-saving to truly control how the SARS-CoV2 virus and other respiratory/airborne pathogens spread,” said Katherine Wilson.
The board requests six air changes per hour and HEPA filters, which is the same as the high-grade filters used in schools with mechanical ventilation systems during the pandemic.
The board of Health also wrote to the federal government, asking it to further dive into tax breaks and grants that will help organizations and small businesses meet the required standards.
