Ventilation System Reports

School districts must ensure heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems are designed, operated and maintained to Occupational Health and Safety and WorkSafeBC standards.

In an effort to strengthen COVID-19 safety measures and improve indoor air quality and reduce the risk of virus transmission, the district has made the following changes to the ventilation systems within the district:

• Upgraded to MERV-13 air filters as recommended by the Ministry of Education.
• Expanded HVAC operating hours for any systems that didn’t meet ASHRAE recommendations. 
• Completed a DDC (Direct Digital Control) upgrade at Moberly Lake Elementary.
• Reporting all facility and school ventilation system information to the Joint Occupation Health and Safety Committees.
• Upholding regular inspections and maintenance of our HVAC systems.
• Maximizing fresh air in our schools at a rate that maintains the internal temperature at a comfortable level.

Ventilation is only one layer of protocols and practices in place to keep our schools as safe as possible. Please contact the Maintenance Department at 250-782-2417 for information regarding the ventilation reports.

Below are reports of the systems at each school and other school district facilities.
