Indoor air quality (IAQ) is now a top priority as individuals spend 90% of their time indoors. Traditional HVAC systems focus on temperature, humidity, and basic air quality metrics such as carbon dioxide and VOCs. However, these systems often fail to address airborne pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, and mold spores. Airborne transmission is the primary pathway for many diseases, highlighting a critical gap in building safety. Mitigating this risk requires a multi-faceted approach that includes ventilation, advanced filtration, and germicidal UV light (UVGI). UVGI is a game-changing technology capable of inactivating microorganisms without disrupting airflow or relying on chemicals.
The presentation by Jason Vecchio and Sankha Senanayake of Opira Group will delve into the fundamentals of UVGI technology and its installation in Sanuvox UVGI systems. As we face current IAQ challenges and prepare for future health threats, now is the time to invest in safer, healthier indoor environments. Opira Group is here to assist in paving the way for cleaner air and a healthier community.
The electromagnetic spectrum focusing on the ultraviolet region, with germicidal UVC being between 200 - 280 nm. It is known as germicidal UV for its ability to kill bacteria, virus, mould spores and fungus.
