With increased air filtration to a minimum of MERV 13, increased outdoor ventilations, and the required 6 ACH, a safe workplace environment for people can be achieved.
This White Paper presents wellness and sustainability as complementary aspects of smart, marketable buildings and describes the operational, financial, and productivity benefits of designing for indoor environmental quality (IEQ).
The unit is an FDA-cleared Class II medical device that combines WellAir’s patented NanoStrike™ technology with a triple-stage filtration system from Camfil® to optimize the health of indoor spaces.
The study was conducted over 30 months with more than 100,000 patient-days. Following implementation of advanced air purification technology, HAIs at St. Mary’s went from an average of 11.9/1,000 patient-days to an average of 6.6/1000 patient-days — a 45% reduction.
For spaces that may have high levels of total volatile organic compounds (TVOCs), the Carrier air monitor includes a sensor that detects the concentration of such compounds, which can be emitted as gases from certain solids or liquids and may be linked with potential health concerns.
