PREPARING FOR DAY ONE

Life Safety Systems The following are key tasks that need to be completed prior to full occupancy of the building: • Ensure fire protection systems are in service and are functional as per design. Also check that the sprinkler control valves are open. Associated fire alarm and monitoring systems should continue to relay any alarms to building management so they can respond as needed. • Continue to notify your risk insurer of any fire protection impairments. It is important to ensure that your specific risk insurer will continue to follow up on impairments. • A complete site/building walkthrough should be completed to ensure all systems are normal, all exit doors and critical/sensitive areas appear normal, and alarm systems still activated. • Emergency building support systems should again be evaluated for reliability and operational availability (e.g. diesel generators and fire pump tanks) • If any required testing was skipped during the shutdown, ensure your local fire department does not mandate additional testing or documentation • Perform fire extinguisher, AED required checks prior to reopening of site. Additional Recommendations and Technology Options While Cushman &Wakefield is not recommending HVAC operation outside of CDC recommendations

at this time, we are offering the following considerations and discussion points: • PleXus Tech: UV-C 650, Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation (UVGI) Lighting System

• Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation (UVGI) is a disinfection method that uses short-wavelength ultraviolet (UV-C) light to kill or inactivate microorganisms by destroying nucleic acids and

disrupting their DNA, leaving them unable to perform vital cellular functions. UVGI is used in a variety of applications, such as food, air, and water purification. The application of UVGI to disinfection has been an accepted practice since the mid-20th century. It is a common tool in laboratories and health care facilities (medical sanitation),but is not familiar to the public. UV-C presents no risk to humans (after disinfection).

The product is awaiting EPA certification. In the meantime, the provider, CPL Group USA, would be providing proof that the appropriate dose of UV-C radiation has been applied to render the COVID-19 virus inert. Video presentation and Q&A session can be scheduled upon request.

This type of air cleaning can be implemented in any building type in almost any air handling system. • Use of higher level MERV filters within existing or new mechanical systems (typically buildings use filters from MERV 6 to MERV 8). Higher level MERV filters should have pre-filters. They can create large pressure drops in the system, which can impact operations and cost. They will enhance the indoor air quality (but are not effective in removing biological contaminants from the air). • UVC light-emitting devices in HVAC systems are now recognized as an important contributor to improved indoor air quality, biofilm control, energy savings, and maintenance reductions in commercial, residential, healthcare, and other environments.
