The recent worldwide healthcare pandemic has pushed the airborne transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus (COVID-19 disease) into the spotlight. Buildings and structures of all types have remained virtually empty while the public quarantines at home or maintains safe social distancing. As the country attempts to reengage economically many have anxiety about repopulating buildings and being exposed to others indoors. This has left HVAC professionals wondering how they can quickly adapt to ensure society that everything possible has been done to reduce the spread of infection and safeguard the health and wellbeing of building occupants after they walk through the front door.
This presentation will provide the most recent information on Needlepoint Bipolar Air Ionization (NPBI), an HVAC-IAQ technology which has recently undertaken 3rd party independent laboratory testing with results confirming it can inactivate 99.5% of SARS-CoV-2 viral particles within 30-minutes. This is great news for those who have been so diligently working to create safer and healthier indoor environments considering the current pandemic.
