As members of the Cooper community, making 41 Cooper Square safer in response to the pandemic is of primary importance to us. Measures of increasing safety such as enforcing mask wearing, social distancing and regular testing have already been implemented by the Cooper Union. Our project focuses on using building controls to improve indoor air quality as an extra precaution against COVID-19 spreading via respiratory aerosols at 41 Cooper Square.
The building control methods this project focuses on are increased outdoor air ventilation, air filtration and relative humidity control. Reference materials for the Cooper Union facilities team to use in identifying and implementing these changes via adjustments to the 41 Cooper Square HVAC system will be produced. Experimental methods and computational fluid dynamics will be employed to illustrate how significant these adjustments are in improving indoor air quality.
