HVAC Solutions That Create Healthier Environments During COVID

Increase Outside Make-Up Air

Humidification

Relatively easy to install for new or existing building applications
Improves general health and comfort in a building
Hydrates virus particles in the air, which adds weight & size causing decreased airborne time

Filtration: Modifications to increase MERV or HEPA ratings are easy cost-effective solutions.

MERV ranges from 1 to 16; higher MERV = higher efficiency
MERV ≥13 (or ISO equivalent) are efficient at capturing airborne viruses
MERV 14 (or ISO equivalent) filters are preferred
High efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters are more efficient than MERV 16 filters.
Inspect filter housing and racks to ensure appropriate filter fit and check for ways to minimize filter bypass.

UV-C Lighting

UV-C Lighting can kill both surface and airborne viruses when installed for a 240-260nm spectrum.
UV Lighting on coils will keep them clean and operating at a higher efficiency.

Bipolar Ionization

Travels through the building and actively kills viruses in the airstream and occupied spaces.
Low energy consumption and almost no annual maintenance cost.
Removes building odors and bacteria, and converts harmful VOC’s to O2, CO2, NO, and H20.
Bipolar ionization also keeps coils clean and operating at higher efficiencies.
