Woodside Synagogue

Our Team conducted a study focusing on methods to mitigate the propagation of Covid-19 through mechanical systems in the main sanctuary, study hall, and social hall. The study reviewed ventilation, air filtrations and overall design intent in an effort to re-open after lockdown.  Recommendations included repairs to ventilation and filter racks, and sizing/routing of ventilation ducts within the existing structure, as well as discussion of disinfection methods (UV-C, etc.).
