This program includes, but is not limited to, sampling, testing and inspections.
Ok, your building has been tested and yes, you have trace-amounts of an air-borne disease.. Now what?What systems are affected by this? Your cooling tower and all of the wet surfaces around it, the areas around the cooling tower that may have the mist from the evaporation process, including the immediate area around the tower. Balconies, patios, you name it - if it has the ability to be wetted by the "drift" of the tower, then you may need more than a simple test by a local testing firm.
The local testing firm will certainly tell you, and probably most accurately, what your conditions with the cooling tower are, but is that enough?
We understand that knowledge is key, see this information on ASHRAE Standard 188-2015.
What about the fresh, outside air you must induce into the building for human consumption? It mitigates the CO2 levels, however, are those surfaces contaminated by the air-borne disease as well?
