Airius has announced the launch of its new PureAir system, guaranteed to improve indoor environments.
The Airius PureAir air purification and odour control system reduces viruses, bacteria, gases, mould and odours by more than 90%, creating clean, healthy and odour-free indoor spaces.
In workspaces, the Airius PureAir system has been proven to reduce staff absenteeism and increase staff productivity. Simple to install, the units are small, versatile and unobtrusive and the system can also reduce heating costs by 20-50%, and cooling costs by 20-40%. The system reduces CO2 emissions by 20-50% and recycles the heat produced from machinery, lighting and heat gain.
Managing director of Airius, Stephen Bridges, said: “Indoor air quality can be defined by a range of criteria. It can be affected by gases, including carbon monoxide, radon, and volatile organic compounds, particulates, microbial contaminants like mould, bacteria, or any mass or energy stressor that can induce adverse health conditions.
“The Airius PureAir is the perfect low-cost solution for hospitals, care homes, doctors and dentist surgeries, children’s nurseries and food preparation facilities in maintaining a clean, healthy and odour-free environment.
“While air is continuously purified by the PureAir system, the space is also being thermally equalised through destratification, which improves comfort by the elimination of hot and cold spots. This system also reduces energy consumption by balancing floor and ceiling temperatures.”
Air purification is critical in maintaining healthy and welcoming building environments. Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) and indoor air pollution has a major influence on the health, comfort and wellbeing of building occupants such as customers, staff and patients and with recent health epidemics such as MRSA and SARS, is widely recognised by the Government and leading industry organisations including BRE, FETA and HSE.
Research conducted by utility giant DTE Energy found that thermal stratification is the single biggest waste of energy in buildings today, as well as by the Carbon Trust, which recommends destratification as one of its top three carbon-saving measures.
