Mold, biofilm and other organic compounds accumulate on cooling coils and other HVAC/R surfaces, causing the system to become less efficient at removing heat.
In addition to inactivating infectious pathogens, germicidal UV-C attacks HVAC/R microbial growth on cooling coils and components 24/7/365 as it restores the system to original design performance conditions.
UV-C restores cooling capacity and airflow to increase the potential for energy savings. On average, UV-C coil installations on existing systems reduce HVAC/R energy use by between 10 and 25 percent.
Fortunately, there is an easy-to-implement alternative for the millions of HVAC systems that were never intended to perform with MERV 13+ filters. Through a layered approach, facility engineers can combine medium-efficiency filters (MERV 8) with ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI or shortwave ...
School districts and charter school organizations have received extra time to spend billions of COVID-relief dollars designated for K-12 public schools, under updated guidance from the U.S. Department of Education (e.g., spending deadlines have been lengthened). The U.S. Department of Education said...
