Bard IAQ Solutions For Schools
School HVAC systems are designed to create a comfortable environment for both students and faculty. COVID-19 has made us reevaluate what type of indoor environment we want our students and teachers in all day long. Comfortable is just not sufficient, anymore. In addition to providing warm or cold air, we need to also provide clean air. Bard wall mount air conditioning systems have the ability to incorporate market leading technology to improve the air quality inside classrooms in order to create a cleaner indoor environment. Your next Bard school system can help protect student and faculty’s respiratory health. We are able to do that using higher efficient air filters, ultraviolet light air purification systems, and fresh air ventilation systems all inside of the HVAC system.
Ventilation Solutions
Ventilation provided by Heating, Ventilating, and Air-Conditioning systems can reduce the airborne concentration of SARS-CoV-2 and thus the risk of transmission through the air.
Inadequate classroom ventilation, as evidenced by CO2 concentration exceeding 1000 ppm, is not uncommon and may be associated with reduced school attendance. A relationship between inadequate classroom ventilation and adverse health outcomes in children may be present and this needs to be explored.
Filtration Solutions
Air Filtration is the technology used most widely to remove particles from an air stream due to its relative ease and flexibility. Both fabric and fibrous filters are used for airborne particle control. ... Particles are frequently collected throughout the depth of a fibrous filter rather than just on its surface.
MERV
MERV stands for Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value. MERV is the system used to measure how effective a filter is at capturing particles of different sizes. The higher the MERV rating, the better it is at capturing small particles. Smaller particles can cause serious respiratory issues for children, the elderly, and those with respiratory distress conditions like asthma, allergies, COPD, etc.
Resistance
Filters that have a higher MERV rating are often more restrictive on airflow. Restricting the airflow can cause problems related to air conditioning energy efficiency, reliability, and indoor comfort.
It’s important to choose an air filter with a healthy balance between a high MERV rating to reduce air borne particulate and low resistance to maintain the HVAC’s system performance. Whether it’s for residential, commercial, education, or industrial applications, we have the product to fit the job.
High Output UV Air Stream Protection
Ultraviolet light air purification has been used for decades to destroy airborne bacteria and viruses. This technology is available to come standard inside new Bard units and can also be added to most existing units.
