The National Engineering Policy Centre have produced a new interactive infographic – Ventilation Matters – why clean air is vital to health<\/a><\/span> – exploring why effective ventilation indoors is important for enabling the health and wellbeing of people.<\/p>\n

Based on the NEPC\u2019s infection resilient environments workstream<\/a><\/span>, this interactive aims to support greater understanding of indoor air quality and steps that can be taken in different settings to improve indoor air.<\/p>\n

The interactive provides an accessible resource to engage public and professional audiences across building users, managers, and owners, and address key questions on \u2013 how buildings affect health, why ventilation matters to me, and how to improve ventilation. Scroll through the story to discover considerations for ventilation and explore the interactive tool with actions and existing guidance, searchable by user or by types of ventilation facilities available, whether that is natural ventilation or mechanical systems.<\/p>\n
