As university campuses prepared to reopen following COVID-19, there was a strong focus on indoor air quality (IAQ) and reducing the spread of airborne viruses. Carleton University prioritized these concerns by integrating UV-C technology into its HVAC system. UVDI was selected for its advanced UV light intensity modeling and flexible installation options, ensuring optimal air purification throughout campus buildings.
Beyond improving IAQ, the implementation of UVDI lights provided additional benefits for system efficiency. The UV lights prevent mold growth and debris accumulation on condensing coils, keeping them clean and minimizing airflow resistance. This ensures air handlers operate at peak efficiency while consuming the lowest possible amount of fan brake horsepower (BHP), ultimately enhancing energy performance across the university’s HVAC infrastructure.
HTS supplied the following equipment:
- 948 UVDI Lights
- 135 UVDI Grids
