He stated he had just looked at some of the rooms. He said, I looked at the A/C filters. Some of them were very bad and some were not as bad. We will start cleaning today. Review of the August 2023 facility policy titled HVAC [Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning] Systems Inspection and Maintenance] showed the center's HVAC systems are inspected and maintained periodically to ensure proper functioning. Review of the procedure showed: Filters: (1.) Clean/replace air conditioner filters as needed. All filters may not need to be replaced or cleaned every week, but all filters must be changed in a 4-week period (monthly). Equipment Inspection: (4.) Change all filters, . Seasonal Maintenance: (5.) Filters must be cleaned or changed on a regular basis. Determine if filters should be changed more frequently.
