CIBSE BSG IBPSA Event - Estimating airborne infection through simulation and analysis - 5th May 2021



The 5th May saw our most recent collaboration with IBPSA with a webinar aimed at the topic of Airborne Infection with example of how simulation and analysis can estimate its diffusion.

A copy of the webinar can be found below.

We were pleased to host speakers from academia and industry discussing some of the simulation and analysis tools and methods used to understand airborne infection in the built environment and some of the latest research programmes that have been designed to further improve our understanding and applications.

Programme

  • Welcome: Darren Woolf
  • An introduction to AIRBODS: Malcolm Cook
  • Estimating the risk of exposure to SARS-CoV-2 by airborne aerosols:    Benjamin Jones
  • Estimation of airborne risk in schools and an introduction to CO-TRACE: Paul Linden
  • Return to work imperative - How CFD is helping to mitigate risk in enclosed environments: Fred Mendonca
  • Indoor air quality during lockdown - A monitoring-based simulation-assisted study in London: Farhang Tahmasebi and Elizabeth Cooper
  • Summary - Building simulation and airborne infection: Darren Woolf
  • Panel Q&A
