Northern California School District Installs 1,500 Carrier OptiClean Units to Support Healthier Indoor Environments
To prepare for its facilities fully reopening to students and staff, northern California’s Manteca Unified School District installed 1,500 Carrier OptiClean™ Dual-Mode Air Scrubber and Negative Air Machines to purify the air in classrooms across its 30 schools. The OptiClean units will help to improve indoor air quality (IAQ) for the district, as its more than 27,000 students, teachers, and staff return to campuses.
“We’ve spent the last several months analyzing every facet of our organization in order to develop a comprehensive strategy designed to create a healthier environment for our students and staff,” said Dr. Clark Burke, superintendent, Manteca Unified School District. “The air quality in our area is often affected by the extensive local agricultural industry, and, lately, regional wildfires have also contributed to poor air quality. After reviewing a number of IAQ solutions available, we are confident that the OptiClean product is the right fit for our needs. By placing an OptiClean unit in each classroom, we feel that we’ll not only help improve our IAQ but also provide peace of mind to our students, their parents, and staff.”
