#Aranet4 data logger capabilities allows one to simply calculate air changes per hour (ACH) by taking CO₂ decay data & plugging it in to a typical decay rate ƒ(x)
Facility manager says these meeting houses are safe to code & highly energy efficient! I agree w/ the latter! 😉

Using a spreadsheet for the function. Applied data to various time segments, including a 50 minute segment while HVAC was on (mid section of graph), noted a slightly improved ACH, probably just mixing air.
Corrrected... the 0.007 is actually air changes per minute... LOL
0.43 is air changes per hour.
Here is a link to the live spread sheet. (Make a copy for yourself before playing around with the numbers).

Spent the first day of the year 2023 at Disneyland. Daytime crowds were unusually sparser, probably from all the New Years Eve hangovers and the fact that it had been pouring rain from 12/31 until the AMs, but evening regained the usual crowd strength even with the dip to 45F
It was an all-day masked indoors-outdoors marathon in @flo_mask and @masklabglobal KF series masks! I got pretty dented by the time I got home, but I'm full of churros and Mickey pretzels, so that helps
My months-long shipment of random net and lace came in recently, so I was happy to be able to wander with a newly clothed @flo_mask mask for the new year. It's not at all a shade match for the decal, but good enough for me for right now
@sri_srikrishna @RanuDhillon @T_Inglesby @kprather88 @AbraarKaran My estimates were too aggressive, of sorts.
However I have seen no argument to disregard ACH's from natural ventilation, and significant natural ventilation is desirable: for low CO2. Also, a CR-box can certainly do a little more than 400 CFM, just at expense of more noise.

@sri_srikrishna @RanuDhillon @T_Inglesby @kprather88 @AbraarKaran Total CADR from #CorsiRosenthalbox'es needed to get to 12 ACH, given known natural ventilation:
900x8 classroom:
0 ACH ➡️ 1440 CFM
1 ACH ➡️ 1320 CFM
2 ACH ➡️ 1200 CFM
6 ACH ➡️ 720 CFM
900x10 classroom:
0 ACH ➡️ 1800 CFM
1 ACH ➡️ 1650 CFM
2 ACH ➡️ 1500 CFM
4 ACH ➡️ 1200 CFM

@sri_srikrishna @RanuDhillon @T_Inglesby @kprather88 @AbraarKaran Few thoughts on the numbers:
Natural ACH can probably be estimated with 'citizen science' and 'citizen math'.
Having to run a CR-box at higher speed is not an unfair 'price' of bad (less than 2 ACH) ventilation.
The best case of 6 ACH in a smaller classroom will be very rare.

Einer unserer #Aranet4 war heute sehr umtriebig. Gut mit FFP2 bestückt war er in Museum, U-Bahn, Shoppingcenter, Food Court UND Kino.

Los ging es wieder durchs schlecht belüftete Stiegenhaus und einem gemütlichen Spaziergang bis in den ersten Bezirk.
In der Albertina angekommen, verstauen wir ihn in der Garderobe - und vergessen ihn dort. Die Werte in den Nicht-Ausstellungsflächen 850 ppm sind eher mau. 2/10

Im Museum selbst, sind die meisten Besucher maskenlos unterwegs. Das stört uns wenig, wir versuchen einfach immer dort zu sein, wo am wenigsten Menschen sind.
Ohne Maske wäre es mir aber defintiv zu unsicher gewesen. 3/10

The dip, just right of middle, in the graph above 👆was an exit from the ballroom to the hallway, a restroom break.
Here the #Aranet4 sensor is on a table in an empty hall outside the ballroom.

The movement to bring #CO2 sensors to school empowers parents, students, & teachers to advocate for their health; Reveals invisible factors of air quality & helps see how well ventilation is matched to room activity.

2/ If you are able to buy or borrow a CO2 sensor, stick it in the mesh water bottle pocket of your kid's backpack, pin into their shorts, or send in their lunchbox. Be creative. Make sure it isn't sealed away; the more airflow the better the reading.
3/ A key goal of #COVIDCO2 monitoring is to understand how well ventilation is matched to room activity & occupancy. Share the data with your school. If CO2 rises above 800 ppm, interventions needed to reduce build-up of aerosol & risk.

COVID-19 is mostly transmitted through the air, by breathing in infectious aerosols, in close proximity or in shared room air (thelancet.com/journals/lance…)

2/ For that reason, this is an indoor-dominated pandemic. It is much easier to be infected indoors than outdoors (academic.oup.com/jid/article/22…).
The best infection prevention strategy is do everything that you can outdoors

Measuring the virus in the air is difficult, slow, and expensive.
CO2 indoors marks the presence of exhaled air, and serves as a proxy for the virus (cartoon from @numeroteca)

2/ Lots of good resources on using #CO2 as a rough measurement of #ventilation rates in your house, car, school, business. I.e. if CO2 < 800 ppm, generally fresher air, better ventilation. If CO2 rises, so does #COVID aerosol risk b/c of poor ventilation.
Short 🧵on #covidco2 readings in an elementary classroom in #UpstateNY. The teacher used an #Aranet4 to measure CO2 throughout the day.

Confinement will only fall on December 15,
if there´s less than 5.000 new cases a day.
(today it´s ~9.000).
France is disappointed.🙁
Although they certainly can make it happen.
