Keynote

Fate and persistence Characteristics of SARS-CoV2

Matthew Moe, Program Director, DHS NBACC

Presentations Strategies and Lessons-learned Building Operations

What are the current best practices for building HVAC design and operations to provide a reduction in transmission and/or infection control? Looking across available standards and guidance what are the challenges in implementing the guidance? What technologies and procedures are available and what is the efficacy of disinfection of air handling systems? What are the current best practices in movement of people to reduce transmission and improve the benefits of properly functioning engineering controls?

Moderator: Lisa Ng, NIST

Zheng O’Neill, Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University

Presentations Aerosolization, Exposure and Risk Reduction

What role do aerosols play in transmission of COVID-19? How do aerosols persist in the built environment? How can they be reduced/controlled? Are there novel technologies for measuring, assessing and monitoring aerosols that would be of value to COVID-19 response? What is the state of the science for understanding and reducing aerosolization and airborne transmission the virus? What guidance is available for reducing aerosol transmission and how can it be amended/facilitated in support of the COVID-19 response?

Moderators: Ginger Chew, CDC & Yair Hazi

Presentations Environmental Microbiology – fate and transport considerations

Beyond the aerosol transmission discussion, what is the state of the science for fate and persistence of SARS-CoV2 in environmental systems? What is known about fomite transfer? Water system and wastewater system persistence? What are the leading research questions? What guidance is available for implementation now and what needs to be developed to support communities as they respond to COVID-19?

Moderators: Shawn Ryan, EPA & Aaron Packman, Northwestern University

Raul Gonzalez, Hampton Roads Sanitation District

Presentations Decontamination - innovative approaches and chemistry impacts on creating clean and healthy spaces

What are the current recommendations and guidance for decontamination of SARS-CoV2 in complex environments in built systems? What including novel approaches and innovative methods are being developed to support the COVID-19 response? What are efforts are underway to assess decontamination approaches? What research questions remain to guide use and efficacy?

Moderators: Delphine Farmer, Colorado State University & Darla Goeres, Montana State University

Tajah Blackburn, Senior Scientist at EPA Office of Pesticides Programs

Presentations Biological surveillance in the built environment – what can we achieve and where do we need innovation?

Biosurveillance is the process of gathering, integrating, interpreting, and communicating essential information related to all-hazards threats or disease activity affecting human, animal, or plant health to achieve early detection and warning, contribute to overall situational awareness of the health aspects of an incident, and to enable better decision-making at all levels. Current data streams for COVID-19 include public health laboratory testing, public health tracing, rapid detection, and system including wastewater surveillance. What are the critical innovations, current needs and research questions for enhanced situational awareness and confidence in reopening?
