Summary:

This publication aims to demonstrate to building managers the importance of ductwork maintenance and to provide practical guidance on the proper procedures for maintaining ductwork systems in a safe and effective state. Recent publications from the Heating and Ventilation Contractors Association (HVCA) and Building Services Research and Information Association (BSRIA) have provided a general review of the issues of ventilation system hygiene and ductwork cleaning. BSRIA has also produced a standard form of contract for ductwork cleaning, with associated guidance. These documents give specific guidance on good cleaning and maintenance practices for ductwork systems in terms of particulate (dust) contamination only. The guidance contained in this publication is intended to add to that good practice by providing guidance for managers of buildings that are air conditioned, or otherwise mechanically ventilated, on the issues of assessment and maintenance of the microbiological cleanliness of ductwork systems. For those who are unfamiliar with current practice in air duct systems, a separate section reviews this subject.
