The human mind evolved to believe in the gods.
It did not evolve to believe in biology.

The American Society of Heating and Refrigeration Engineers publishes two Legionella-related standards:
ASHRAE 188: Legionellosis: Risk Management for Building Water Systems.
ASHRAE 12: Managing (Minimizing) the Risk of Legionellosis Associated With Building Water Systems (Maintained continuously)
Legionella risk is a domain rich in possibilities for lawsuits so we should not be surprised that best practice titles in the ASHRAE suite — and other standards bibliographies — go unstable with new findings. We encourage facility units in education communities to contribute data to technical committees and to participate directly. you may access titles open for public comment at the link below:
ASHRAE Public Review Draft Standards
ASHRAE runs one of the best public consultation facilities in the United States. Its titles appear in most of our daily colloquia; this one best practice titles are on the standing agendas of our Energy, Mechanical, Water 200/Water 400 and Risk colloquia. See our CALENDAR for the next online meeting; open to everyone.
