Healthy Air for Everyone
Our country is facing the dire consequences of a global pandemic. Especially, the cleanliness of indoor air in shopping malls and AVMs (Shopping Centers) has become the most crucial issue of our time. Previously, people spent ninety percent of their time indoors, believing they were protected by air filters, yet indoor air was found to be five times dirtier than outdoor air.
Our leaders and members of the Scientific Committee are making efforts to positively address the risks of dining in restaurants, returning to work, and sending children back to school. Governments have been forced to make serious decisions to balance freedoms and enforce public health measures such as mandatory mask-wearing, social distancing, and cleanliness.
Replanning of Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Systems
A renovated HVAC system with Next-Generation UV Air Purification devices easily coupled to ventilation ducts may potentially help reduce the level of microorganisms in the air.
The prospect of Next-Generation UV Air Purification Devices that can be easily coupled to HVAC Systems is promising as it may allow businesses, customers, schools, students’ parents, and public health officials to both safely reopen and effectively adapt.
The benefits of ensuring Healthy Indoor Air Quality standards extend beyond physical health. Numerous studies have shown that Healthy Air contributes positively to increased creativity, focus, and productivity, especially in the workplace. Equipping schools and businesses with appropriate HVAC equipment will help future generations be healthier and better protected from future air-related illnesses.
Additionally, when it comes to global pandemics that negatively impact public health, governments may also consider forming a scientific committee composed of Hygiene Engineers to address Indoor Air Quality issues. Improving national indoor air standards together while the global pandemic continues would be the most appropriate solution.
Governments’ initiatives in this regard could be a good start to ensuring “Healthy Air for Everyone” and making it a little easier for people to breathe during a global pandemic crisis.
The pathogens spread into the environment due to someone sneezing on a different floor can indeed remain airborne long enough to reach the HVAC system and later disperse into another person’s office. We are faced with the reality that using filters that capture more particles does not eliminate the risk factors entirely. However, each of these changes comes with a cost. Adding more clean air may require additional heating or cooling. Heavier filters mean more energy is needed for the air to pass through. And increased humidity can lead to mold growth.
By easily coupling our UV device (CT PRO MAX) to the central HVAC ventilation ducts, we ensure clean air conditions by purifying the air in the ventilation ducts.
