m2

CU-Boulder: 60-120 sq ft / person. UNC = 36 sq ft / person. See Readme

Students

people

You can change this number directly, then the previous input of area per student is not used

Breathing rate (instructor)

m3/h

Estimated from Miller et al. (2020), for someone talking a lot

Breathing rate (students)

m3 / h

Estimated from Miller et al. (2020), for someone occasionally talking

Duration of class period

min

h

Typical value

Ventilation w/ outside air

h-1

L/s/per

First value is the same as "air changes per hour". Second is used in most guidelines now

Decay rate of the virus

h-1

Average of literature values (0 and 0.62), Miller et al. (2020)

Deposition to surfaces

h-1

Buonnano et al. (2020), Miller et al. (2020). Could vary 0.24-1.5 h-1, depending on particle size range

Additional control measures

h-1

E.g. UV disinfection, personal HEPA air cleaner, etc.

Total first order loss rate

CONDITIONAL RESULT: Case in which instructor is infected, students are susceptible

Mask efficiency for emission

See readme sheet

Net emission rate

Probability of infection (1 student)

Equation (1) in Miller et al. (2020). This assumes instructor was infected. See "Campus" sheet for more general case

Number of COVID cases arising

CONDITIONAL RESULT: Case in which student is infected, other students and instructor are susceptible

Quanta emission rate (student)

Mask efficiency for emission

See readme sheet / Assume potentially different masks types for students and instructor

Probability of infection (1 person)

Equation (1) in Miller et al. (2020). This assumes 1 student was infected. See "Campus" sheet for more general case
