PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla., March 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- As the U.S. government prepares to roll out the
The BluEdge K-12 program includes a proprietary assessment of current indoor air quality at a school to inform improvement recommendations designed to meet specific desired outcomes. For instance, a school can meet minimum air quality standards and quickly reopen by implementing a combination of filtration and ventilation kits which include MERV 8-13 filters, Carrier's award-winning plug-and-play OptiCleanTM air scrubber, and ventilation adjustments to increase air changes per hour.
Those aiming to further optimize their building for occupant health can choose from a robust selection of advanced kits designed to improve filtration and ventilation, upgrade controls and support retro-commissioning to ensure an HVAC system operates as originally intended. For example, an advanced filtration kit includes a combination of MERV 13+ filters, electrostatic filters, needlepoint bipolar Ionization and UV photocatalytic oxidation to capture pathogens and remove volatile organic compounds. A retro-commissioning kit is designed to significantly enhance air quality by increasing the air exchange rate inside the school, which research suggests minimizes airborne transmission and could improve occupant productivity.
"COVID-19 has unquestionably heightened the world's focus on indoor air quality and pharmaceutical distribution, and it is essential that we do what we can to enhance public health," said Ajay Agrawal, Senior Vice President, Strategy & Services at Carrier. "We have designed the BluEdge K-12 kits with the specific needs of our K-12 customers in mind. Our upgrade packages are designed to simplify the reopening process for schools with ease of decision making, cost-effective pricing and easier implementation of the appropriate filtration, ventilation and controls solutions based on the results of our proprietary school assessment. At Carrier, we aim to inspire confidence for parents, students, teachers and staff as we work to safely return to in-person learning."
