Claim 14:
15. A method for controlling a building management system of a facility, the building management system including a heating, ventilation, and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system, wherein the facility includes a plurality of regions of different region types serviced by the HVAC system, the method comprising:
receiving one or more first user programmable infection risk compliance parameters for regions of a first region type;
receiving one or more second user programmable infection risk compliance parameters for regions of a second region type, wherein one or more of the second user programmable infection risk compliance parameters is different from one or more of the first user programmable infection risk compliance parameters;
determining a first elevated infection risk alert for a first region in the facility having the first region type based on an output from one or more sensors of the first region and the one or more first user programmable infection risk compliance parameters for regions of the first region type;
determining a second elevated infection risk alert for a second region in the facility having the second region type based on an output from one or more sensors of the second region and the one or more second user programmable infection risk compliance parameters for regions of the second region type;
in response to receiving the first elevated infection risk alert for the first region that has the first region type, controlling one or more components of the HVAC system of the building management system servicing the first region to help mitigate the elevated infection risk associated with the first elevated infection risk alert in the first region; and
in response to receiving the second elevated infection risk alert for the second region that has the second region type, controlling one or more components of the HVAC system of the building management system servicing the second region to help mitigate the elevated infection risk associated with the second elevated infection risk alert in the second region.
