» Is your HVAC system making indoor air quality worse?
Tuesday, 16 February 2016
Recent reports of high-profile Legionella outbreaks have
raised awareness of the importance of indoor air quality (IAQ) within occupied
spaces.
By using heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC)
systems in spaces such as offices, manufacturing facilities and educational
buildings, many people believe that they are protecting staff and visitors from
polluted outdoor air.
However, unless HVAC equipment is properly maintained by
qualified engineers, bacteria, mould and viruses can develop. These
contaminants make their way into shared spaces via the airstream, exposing
occupants to the risk of infectious diseases and allergic reactions.
This in turn leads to reduced productivity, increased
absenteeism and low morale amongst staff, which impacts on productivity and
recruitment costs.
Therefore, the importance of a clean air handling system
free of contaminants cannot be overstated. A proven solution to IAQ problems is
the application of ultraviolet C (UVC) light to the internal surfaces of air
handling units (AHUs) and ductwork. UVC technology was first used in hospitals
to help prevent the spread of tuberculosis during the early 20th
century.

Ultraviolet Solutions, in association with BioZone Scientific
International, has developed a revolutionary UVC
disinfection solution for HVAC systems. CoilCare®
applies UVC light to an AHU’s cooling coil, acting to remove contaminants and
prevent their regrowth.
This innovative technology can be applied to almost any
occupied spaces such as offices, hotels, eateries, healthcare buildings and
food production facilities. The initial installation is inexpensive and fitting
by our engineers takes just a few hours.
If you’re worried about the quality of the air in your
building, and the wellbeing of staff, find out more about the benefits of CoilCare®
