Back to the Survey Questions
Insuffuicient survey responses. Most of the survey data has come from this systems research. Once additional data comes from other sources, then the data will be provided.
| Survey Questions (all counts are %) | Yes | No | Don't Know |
| 1. Are you aware of the term Air Changes Per Hour (ACH)? | - | ||
| 2. Are you aware that for rooms with airborne contagions the CDC minimum ACH is 12? | - | ||
| 3. Are you aware that for rooms with airborne contagions the WHO minimum ACH is 24? | - | ||
| 4. Do you know the ACH for each room in your facility? | - | ||
| 5. Did an HVAC contractor generate balance reports and provide the ACH for each room? | |||
| 6. Do you know that you can measure the ACH in each room using a tool that costs less than $30 dollars? | - | ||
| 7. Did an HVAC or other vendor make changes to the HVAC system or install other systems? | |||
| 8. Are you aware that UV lights installed in the HVAC system do not increase the ACH in the actual space, they only keep the ducts clean and help the existing filters? | - | ||
| 9. Are you aware of the CDC suggestion to use ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) to increase room ventilation? | - | ||
| 10. Does the facility have ceiling level UV-C systems? | |||
| 11. Does the facility have FAR UV-222 systems? | |||
| 12. Have you or the facility manager contacted any vendors that install ceiling level UV-C and or FAR UV-222 systems? | |||
| 13. Do you or the facility manager have plans to upgrade the ventilation in the facility and if so what is the approach (provide comments at the end)? | |||
| 14. Have you or the facility manager been contacted by vendors to upgrade the facility ventilation (UV, Room Sanitizers, PCO, & HVAC systems)? | |||
| 15. As a facility manager have you posted in plain sight to facility users the ACH level in the facility? | - | ||
| 16. As a facility user have you seen in plain sight the ACH level in the facility? | - | ||
| 17. Can you hear the facility ventilation operating? | - | ||
| 18. Can you feel the facility ventilation air movement in a normal location away from the vents? | - | ||
| 19. Does the air seem fresh? | - |
| Survey Questions (all counts are %) | Yes | No | No Need to Contact |
| 20. Can you see air streamers on the facility vents and are they moving? | |||
| 21. Have you attempted to contact the facility to alert them to possible ventilation issues? | |||
| 22. If you contaced the facility about ventilation did they respond? |

This research is being performed using the memex. The memex was first conceived in 1945 in a paper called As We May Think. Since 1945 generations of engineers and scientists have worked tirelessly to make the memex a reality and you know it as the Internet. Its original purpose was to Educate and perform Research. E-commerce and social media came much later and many that used the Internet for Research and Education have died. The memex is being used by healthcare providers around the world to deal with the COVID-19 disaster in real time. Please forward the information on this page to everyone everywhere.
