Evaluating building spaces to mitigate and reduce the spread of airborne COVID-19

To de-risk and strengthen Covid-19 mitigation strategies, digital simulations techniques with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) can test, evaluate and optimise designs and ventilation systems as people return to work and visit shopping centres, theatres, airports etc. 

Open source Face Protection Screens for healthcare workers

A group of colleagues have designed a new type of face protection screens that can be produced with standard office supplies. The design is open source and available to all. Ramboll is producing 20,000 face protection screens, and donated the first batch to health workers in Denmark this week.
