BroadwaybabytoIndoor air quality and ventilation folks… I need some help! I’ve been dealing with terrible VOCs in my apartment that are making me sick. I’ve been trouble shooting for months but can’t figure out where they’re coming from. My building has four MAUs (make up air units) on the roof that are supposed to pressurize the hallways and supply fresh air from the roof. They needed replacing, and when they were turned off the vocs in my unit dropped considerably. Best as I can tell the pressurization must be causing excessive air leakage from someone else’s unit into mine. I have to constantly keep a window open in order to run any exhaust fans, and they’re still high. Here’s my latest dilemma. I’m in a tiny condo with just a living room and bedroom. Living room has a sliding door to a balcony and bedroom has a window. I want to put a portable air conditioner in the bedroom as it runs ridiculously hot, but that will mean sealing off the window. The portable unit comes with a hose to vent the unit out the window … so does that mean it will constantly ventilate as long as the unit is “on”? If that’s the case it might actually help the VOCs, but I’m unsure if I’m understanding correctly. I assume if the unit is “off” it would provide less fresh air than an open window, but appreciate any advice! <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/iaq" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#iaq</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/indoorairquality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#indoorairquality</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/ventilation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ventilation</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/hepa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hepa</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/voc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#voc</a>

Zorro CovidRequiring masks in public is not violating. Requiring they get infected is. One way masking is not a solution in most public spaces because they have upgraded ventilation/filtration and not enough people wear masks, meaning high viral densities that can infiltrate masks over time.

fritzoidsDentist appointment yesterday (just a check-up for the whole family). The CO2 concentration was pretty high, given the fact that there were not that many people there. Luckily we were in and out of there in no time and they have windows that open. You can see the moment I cracked the window in the waiting room and you can definitely see the moment I opened the balcony door in the treatment room. <a href="https://mas.to/tags/IndoorAirQuality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IndoorAirQuality</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/ventilation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ventilation</a>

Blaauwendraad BlogMöbius stripA <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%B6bius_strip" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Möbius strip</a> is not only interesting to crochet or knit, but is also more manageable than a scarf and it drapes itself smoother than a turtleneck. Rule number one is that you don’t just make a long piece of cloth, twist it, and attach one end to the other.knitted Möbius strip in progress, made of slowly fading blue-grey-rust brown woolIt is largely attributed to the late and great <a href="https://catbordhi.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Cath Bordhi</a> by the internet community (and indeed, she has done a lot to popularize it, and her wonderful <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@CatBordhiDesigns" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">YouTube tutorials</a> are still online), but as a form of mathematics and fiber arts, scarves have already been knit into Möbius strips since the work of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Zimmermann" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Elizabeth Zimmermann </a>in the early 1980s.There are <a href="http://curiousknitter.blogspot.com/2010/08/mobebius-cast-on-way-i-do-it.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">alternative ways to cast on</a>, and I may try them, because I found the first round pretty tricky. For a first taste, I would recommend a crocheted version. Just search for a tutorial that works for you – A friend once told me that, choosing an online tutorial, the teacher’s voice and diction were more important to her than anything else, and I understand exactly what she means. Teachers have to resonate in your system like music.Actually, I was planning to dedicate my Monday blog post to <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://blaauwendraad.blog/tag/music/" target="_blank">#music</a>, and as it happens, there are links: Choir rehearsals.

The choir opted for <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://blaauwendraad.blog/tag/ventilation/" target="_blank">#ventilation</a>. Hence, my need to knit. While knitting, I am always soundlessly humming a song – the needles seem the needles dictate to alternating tunes – I wondered which music was most suitable for a Möbius strip.

Attractive NuisanceI finally got back to the Proud Trust about this. Their own access policy states that they ventilate event areas with fresh air, and it's really clear that this policy wasn't followed during this event. I'm glad I didn't read the access policy in advance or I might not have masked or brought the CO2 monitor along.I have volunteered to help them with this, whether it's through developing procedures to ensure the policy is followed, installing sensors which will alert people when the ventilation is insufficient, or supplementing the ventilation with a <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/CorsiRosenthalBox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CorsiRosenthalBox</a>.Having an <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/lgbtq" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lgbtq</a> space in <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Manchester" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Manchester</a> which has a clean air policy is really important, but only if that policy is followed.
