The details:

With pressure growing on the industry to deliver a wider range of solutions capable of reducing the threat of airborne disease transmission in buildings, BESA is delighted to welcome back SAGE member and leading expert on ventilation and indoor air quality Professor Cath Noakes from the University of Leeds.

At the recent BESA National Conference, she urged the industry to look closely at all the available options and avoid being hoodwinked by 'snake oil' salesmen pushing single technologies for every application.

In this webinar, Professor Noakes will take a close look at one possible option: UV-C irradiation, which has its supporters and its detractors. She will consider the different types of application; how well different UV-C devices work and share her findings from experiments and modelling that can help the industry develop practical applications for different types of building.
Nathan Wood, BESA's Wellbeing in Buildings Chairman and Managing Director at Farmwood Ltd, will chair the session.
