Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Five-year Reporting

For the period commencing July 1, 2026, and ending and including June 30, 2031, and every five years thereafter, each local or regional Board of Education shall provide for a uniform inspection and evaluation of the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system of all school buildings under its jurisdiction. During such period, the Board of Education shall provide such inspection for at least twenty percent (20%) of the schools under its jurisdiction in each year until each such school has been inspected.* Each such school shall be so inspected every five years thereafter. Such inspection and evaluation shall be performed by a certified testing, adjusting and balancing technician, an industrial hygienist certified by the American Board of Industrial Hygiene or the Board for Global EHS Credentialing, or a mechanical engineer. See CGS § 10-220(d), PA 22-118, PA 23-167, and PA 24-74.
