Peter Fehl, head of the building management team at Honeywell joins me on Tech Talks Daily to discuss “the anatomy of a healthy school”? Many schools seems stumped when it comes to how to make their buildings safe and are delaying an in-person return. While others think that simply opening the windows will eliminate risk. Peter discusses how schools need to take a holistic approach to allow a safer return and that no one change will make the difference.

We talk about how much like the human body, all the systems need to work together – HVAC (the lungs), video analytics (the eyes), AI (the brain/nervous system), touchless-access (the motor system), and UV light sanitation (like the immune system). If one of these systems is not functioning properly your (or your school’s) health is at risk. We also discuss how school administrators can address the holistic health needs of schools and how this approach will be critical in schools returning and staying in-person this year.
