Description

Performance has always been a discussion point as part of material and surface selection; however, as a result of COVID-19, the importance of cleaning and disinfection of surfaces in all settings has become a priority within interior environments. Durability, cleanability, and appropriate application of a setting and its building occupants have primarily been applicable to healthcare. Now these considerations are applicable to all spaces, including commercial spaces and the home. Featuring Debra Harris, Ph.D., Jane Rohde, ASID, AIA, ACHA, CHID, and Shari Solomon, Esq., this program focuses on the importance of evidence, data, and science. Speakers provide relevant information on environmental services, cleaning, and disinfection, and cover the need for evaluating product specifications from a multiple-attribute perspective that includes a focus on human health and safety. 

This is a recording of a webinar presented on May 11, 2020.


What You Will Learn
  • Recognize the importance of basing product specifications on evidence.
  • Describe the relationship of cleaning and disinfection of materials to infectious disease. 
  • Identify strategic maintenance processes for surface materials that promote health and safety.
  • Assess specifications based on performance requirements to avoid premature product failures.


Access Period: One year from registration date.
