We have long known that buildings play a critical role in infectious disease transmission. We’re making sure they’re part of the coronavirus conversation, too.

New: COVID-19 Risk Calculator
We created a tool to help you better understand how to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission in indoor environments using affordable control strategies. Learn how mask wearing, social distancing, personal hygiene, portable air cleaners, ventilation, and activity can contribute to the likelihood of COVID-19 exposure. Creation of this tool was based off of modeling of multiple super-spreader events in some of our latest research (Azimi et al., 2021).
