Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning (HVAC. To address the health pandemic and historical health inequity of school communities and building sites, the District will ensure HVAC systems, air handling equipment, and other mitigation strategies are monitored, routinely maintained, promptly repaired. The District will comply with, meet and may exceed American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), Department of Labor and Industries, Washington Administrative Code (“WAC”), and Department of Health requirements to ensure proper fresh air supply, filtration and circulation to help prevent the spread of the COVID virus. Employee concerns about indoor air quality will be categorized as high priority by the District’s Work Management System and may be raised again as the number of occupants present increases. The District will share the results of any air quality analysis with the Association and/or the employee upon request. • All new issues/problems that result in not meeting ASHRAE, L&I, or DOH guidelines regarding HVAC will be corrected as soon as possible. All records of responses to reports of this nature will be shared with the Association upon request. The affected workspaces with issues/problems that result in not meeting the aforementioned standards that cannot be mitigated through other means will be closed and classes and/or workstations will be moved to alternate locations within the school site that meet or may exceed the ASHRAE or CDC guidelines regarding HVAC. • When any system is reported to be operating incorrectly, the District will create a work order. Work orders related to the functionality of the HVAC system will be marked as high priority. The District will document all reported concerns related to the ventilation system as well as the response to those concerns through the work order system. These records will be provided to the Association upon request. • Any airflow solution will maintain the required indoor air temperature to promote effective teaching and learning of at least 65 degrees in classrooms and office spaces, and 60 degrees in gyms per the W.A.C. • The District will ensure all ventilation systems are programmed to start at two hours prior to start of school and two hours after end of school. • The District will provide MERV-13 filters in buildings that are compatible with them. In buildings that are not compatible with MERV-13 filters or that would have airflow restricted if a MERV-13 filter was put in place, portable HEPA air filter...
