The city has purchased a total of 162 air purification devices for its primary and secondary schools.
The delivery went better than expected - there were other problems
Germering -
In order to limit the corona infections as much as possible, all devices purchased will probably be installed in the schools and after-school centers in the city by the beginning of November.
This was reported by Martin Rattenberger, Head of Office V for Seniors, Social Affairs and Schools, in the Social Committee.
Contrary to some fears, there were no delivery problems.
“That worked out very quickly,” said Mayor Andreas Haas, satisfied.
Where are the sockets?
According to Rattenberger, the installation would cause more problems in some places, especially in older facilities such as the church school.
“You can't just put the devices in a classroom,” said Rattenberger.
Sockets are sometimes not placed in sufficient numbers or in a suitable place, so that renovation work is necessary.
Some shelves also have to be rearranged or reassembled.
When asked by Angelika Kropp-Dürr, Rattenberger informed that the caretakers had been trained well when it came to maintenance.
A check is carried out every three months according to a fixed checklist.
The filters are replaced by the manufacturer every year.
The maintenance costs would be 500 euros per device and year.
Mayor Haas: “That's a house number.
But we decided to go this way. ”During the meeting, it was pointed out that the devices run via so-called presence detectors.
This means that they are only in operation when people are in the room.
No filters for daycare centers
The crèches and kindergartens are not equipped with air purification devices.
After an examination, according to Rattenberger from the city administration, the result was that the conditions in day-care centers were different.
There is no fixed allocation of seats there.
Keeping your distance is difficult.
Therefore, the transmission path through aerosols plays a subordinate role with Corona.
"It can be assumed that regular burst ventilation is sufficient to effectively reduce the small residual risk of contamination via the room air," it said in the template for the meeting.
The CO2 traffic lights have been purchased for this purpose.
The building authority also assessed the structural ventilation situation in the day-care centers for which the city is responsible, and improved it if necessary.
Johannes Landendinger (Greens), who is responsible for kindergartens and crèches, is in favor of the approach at day care centers.
The committee members agreed without dissenting.
