Actors’ Equity has partnered with the National Energy Management Institute to set ventilation guidelines for performance spaces.
The guidelines include having a certified technician perform a ventilation verification assessment, while using a provided checklist, and then deliver a report on ventilation conditions to Actors’ Equity. If there are any areas of concern in the theater, rehearsal studios or employer-provided housing, the guidelines call for the theater or producer to provide a timeline for fixing the problem areas.
The ventilation system will be assessed based on recommendations from the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, as well as any state and local guidance.
