Boosting School Ventilation Rates with Germicidal UV

Proper ventilation is a challenge for many school buildings.

By eliminating airborne allergens, bacteria, and viruses, upper-room UVC fixtures installed near a room’s ceiling neutralize microbes in a matter of seconds. Because air movement is continuous, pathogen concentrations are further reduced with each subsequent pass of recirculated air (“multiple dosing”).

The CDC and ASHRAE recommend ventilation interventions such as upper-room UVC for spaces with insufficient or no mechanical circulation.
