National Engineering Policy Centre – Ventilation Matters

The National Engineering Policy Centre have produced a new interactive infographic – Ventilation Matters – why clean air is vital to health – exploring why effective ventilation indoors is important for enabling the health and wellbeing of people. Based on the NEPC’s infection resilient environments workstream, this interactive aims to support greater understanding of indoor air quality and steps that can be taken in different settings to improve indoor air.
The interactive provides an accessible resource to engage public and professional audiences across building users, managers, and owners, and address key questions on – how buildings affect health, why ventilation matters to me, and how to improve ventilation. Scroll through the story to discover considerations for ventilation and explore the interactive tool with actions and existing guidance, searchable by user or by types of ventilation facilities available, whether that is natural ventilation or mechanical systems.

Temporary works

Temporary works is an area we, in all parts of the industry, could work within better.  Since the Bragg Report in 1975 the industry has been looking at how best to mange temporary works with the design, use and demolition of these works.  With BS 5975:2019 now setting best practise, how should temporary works be managed in the military?  This series of shorts looks at the CITB areas of competence for temporary works and how to meet them.
