Using Particle Tracking to Optimize Indoor Air Quality
During the COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve seen an increased focus on indoor air quality – especially regarding the spread of infectious diseases in all types of indoor environments. Since one path of transmission is through exhaled droplets both large and small, the engineering community is particularly interested in how those particles move in indoor environments.

Reduce the airborne concentration of pathogens with ventilation and filtration
From improved filtration to alternative supply air methodologies, changes to your HVAC system can reduce the probability
of exposure to airborne pathogens within workplaces, schools, and other high occupancy areas.

Leveraging Displacement Ventilation & Displacement Chilled Beams
There is a growing demand within North American school districts for their schools’ buildings to perform more efficiently within shrinking budgets, while simultaneously accommodating the introduction of new technologies into the classroom and operating for 50-70 years in an ever-changing environment.

Application of Fan Filter Units in Airborne Infection Isolation Rooms
Airborne infection isolation rooms (AIIR) are used for patients with easily communicable airborne disease. When there is a shortage of AIIR, existing patient rooms (or hotel rooms in temporary care facilities) can be converted to negative pressure isolation rooms. Price Fan Filter Units (FFU) can be used in three configurations to retrofit these existing spaces.
