Air quality is important, and when combined with our broad range of COVIDSafe measures, contributes to our COVID safety. Facilities are operating building ventilation in line with the directions from the Department of Health.
RMIT is fully compliant with Victorian Government advice for ventilation, and what is required including:
- well maintained and operated air conditioning and ventilation systems to help reduce the risk of virus transmission
- RMIT’s heat, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems are very well maintained under the comprehensive planned preventative maintenance (PPM) contract with Airmaster (air-conditioning system)
- RMIT completes regular inspections, maintenance and cleaning of all air conditioning and ventilation systems
- this is also included in the planned preventative maintenance activities completed by Airmaster.
RMIT has configured our control systems to maximise the supply of fresh outdoor air into spaces where we are able to. Staff and students can also open windows where possible.
We also hold the International Organisation for Standardisation standards ISO 55001 for Strategic Asset Management and ISO 41001 for Facilities Management which certifies RMIT for having best in class management systems.
