UVGI for HVAC
Upper-Room Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation
In today`s world Indoor Air Quality has become an essential factor as it has a direct effect on the health and well-being of its occupants. For the overall health and well-being of building occupants, it is essential that a building must be well-ventilated and the inside air must be free of microorganisms (Viruses, Bacteria & Fungi). UVGI Technology (Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation) has been in application for so long for improving air quality as it improves occupant health, comfort, and productivity. Since the SARS outbreak the role of air-conditioning and ventilation, in preventing airborne infections has drawn extensive attention. Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation (UVGI) is an effective method of air and surface disinfection when integrated with the HVAC system of the building. It utilizes ultraviolet (UV) light to deactivate the Virus by disrupting and destroying its DNA so they are unable to perform its vital cellular functions and ultimately gets killed.
