Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) is an effective engineering control for improving indoor air quality and reducing healthcare-associated infections. It uses ultraviolet light to destroy biological contaminants like bacteria, viruses, molds, and other pathogens by breaking down their DNA. UVGI has been used successfully in hospitals since the 1930s to significantly reduce surgical site and other infection rates. It is recommended by organizations like ASHRAE and the EPA as a strategy for controlling airborne infectious diseases through duct irradiation, upper room irradiation, and in-room units. Studies show UVGI can reduce worker sickness and healthcare costs while increasing energy efficiency.
Airborne Infection Control in the Design of Green Buildings: Applications fo...Kevin Banahan
Upper room ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) has shown great potential as an airborne infection control measure in the indoor environment. There is a growing literature on the benefits and applications of upper-room UVGI, however, designers looking to specify this technology often have difficulty due to a lack of general guidance on installation and operation of these systems. One potential approach is to include upper-room UVGI in an existing framework used in the design of high-performance green buildings. These aim to reduce the environmental impact of buildings and promote healthy environments for living and working.
In settings with an increased concern for airborne pathogens such as hospitals, UVGI offers an energy efficient approach to providing additional air disinfection without increasing the capacity of HVAC systems. Studies have demonstrated UVGI performance in reducing pathogen concentrations with effective air changes several times greater than that accomplished by ventilation alone. These examples justify the application of UVGI in green buildings from both the perspective of energy efficiency and improved indoor environmental quality.

The document discusses indoor air quality (IAQ) in schools and its importance. It provides definitions of integrated pest management (IPM) and discusses regulatory requirements for IPM policies, coordinators, training, and licensing. Common causes of poor IAQ in schools include outdated HVAC systems, moisture issues, lack of ventilation, cleaning products, and pests. The EPA's Tools for Schools program provides a way to properly assess and address IAQ issues through checklists and stakeholder involvement.
Paharpur Business Centre offers flexible serviced office solutions ranging from day-to-month leases. It has state-of-the-art facilities and provides infrastructure and single window services. The Centre is known for its conferencing facility and air quality and caters to small and medium business meetings and events. It aims to protect occupant health and safety through initiatives like maintaining indoor air quality as per standards, using air purifying plants, and sanitizing surfaces daily.
The document summarizes an air purifier that uses plasmacluster ion technology to purify indoor air. It generates positive and negative ions that are similar to those found in nature to sanitize both air and surfaces from viruses, mold, dust and allergens. These ions transform into water molecules that return to the air. The purifier also uses a true HEPA filter to capture 99.97% of 0.3 micron particles and remove pollen, dust mites, smoke and other allergens from the air. Its plasmacluster technology works to neutralize odors and toxins while creating fresh, pure air similar to that of a forest.
This document summarizes indoor air quality (IAQ), including potential health effects, common causative agents and their sources, and control methodologies. It discusses sick building syndrome and some of its common symptoms. Asthma is highlighted as afflicting 20 million Americans and being exacerbated by indoor environmental factors. Molds are described as growing indoors when moisture is present. IAQ issues in schools are also covered, noting many schools have unsatisfactory air quality. The EPA Building Air Quality guidance document is provided as a resource.
Comfort Economy Wheel (Sense Making of Indoor Climate)Vinay Venkatraman
This document discusses unhealthy indoor environments in Europe and the concept of a "comfort economy". It notes that Europeans spend 90% of their time indoors and unhealthy indoor environments can cause health issues. It then introduces the Comfort Economy Wheel, which provides a visualization of real-time indoor comfort data based on factors like temperature, humidity, CO2, and more. Sensors can monitor these factors and flag when action is needed to improve indoor air quality, productivity, and health. The goal is to optimize indoor environments and quantify the economic benefits of healthier, more comfortable buildings.

Manchester Offices + Workspace Update - 5plus Architects Place North West
The document discusses how technological advancements and changing work patterns are outpacing the development of physical workspaces. It notes that jobs are being displaced by automation while new types of jobs are being created. The key drivers for change in the workplace are identified as technology, economic value and return on investment, long-term adaptability and sustainability, focus on people's experience and wellbeing, and driving creativity and productivity. Metrics related to health, such as absenteeism, performance, and sleep, are presented. Finally, the document discusses ensuring buildings are effective, sustainable, and adaptable to contribute positively to society into the future.
The document discusses the challenges of cleaning in schools and the benefits of adopting "cleaning for health" practices. It notes that schools are densely occupied spaces where children, who are more vulnerable, spend many hours. Traditional cleaning products can negatively impact health. Cleaning for health uses certified green products and practices to improve indoor air quality while protecting occupant and worker health. Studies on schools that adopted these practices found reductions in airborne dust, chemicals, bacteria and fungi as well as health benefits.
The document discusses three key factors - invisible particles, irritant gases, and infectious microbes (the "3 I's") - that can affect indoor environmental quality in classrooms and impact student attendance. It provides examples of specific contaminants that fall under each factor and their potential health effects. It also discusses strategies for improving classroom air quality, such as filtration systems, ventilation standards, and cleaning procedures.
What price do you pay for poor IAQ, and how can you benefit from good IAQ?Camfil UK
The document discusses the impact of indoor air quality (IAQ) on health and business costs. Poor IAQ can lead to higher rates of asthma, respiratory illness, and sick leave, resulting in lost productivity. Specifically:
- Poor IAQ is a cause of 50% of all illnesses and costs European businesses over 110 billion euros annually in healthcare costs.
- Improving IAQ through better ventilation and filtration systems can increase worker productivity by up to 10% and reduce sick leave rates by 35%, saving businesses hundreds of dollars per employee each year.
- Similarly, better IAQ in schools has been shown to improve student performance on math and reading tests by 13% and increase reaction times by 5.4%.
-
The document discusses how dirty or contaminated air in workplaces can negatively impact employee health and productivity. It notes that smokers, asthmatics, and those with severe asthma may struggle more in such environments. The document then explains that ducted air solutions can filter and clean air as it flows through ducts, distributing cleaner air. Some systems use silver-based coatings that kill 99.9% of airborne pathogens. Such technologies are becoming more common in Australia and can benefit workplaces like hospitals, medical facilities, and schools that see many people each year. Implementing an appropriate ducted air solution can provide a healthier work environment where employees are less likely to get sick.
Air pollution is a major public health issue in India, especially in Delhi which has the dirtiest air of any city worldwide according to WHO. Chronic exposure to air pollution significantly increases health risks and diseases like asthma and COPD. While people spend most of their time indoors, indoor air can be 3-5 times more polluted than outdoor air. New technologies like PHIO+ and CPT can effectively purify indoor air and improve health by generating oxidizing ions and plasma to eliminate pollutants, microbes, and odors while also saving energy. These technologies can help maintain healthy indoor air quality in homes and buildings.
Air pollution – be it indoors or outdoors – is a major environmental health concern as it can lead to serious health effects, such as respiratory diseases, including asthma and lung cancer.
Much progress has been made in Europe in improving outdoor air quality and limit values have been set for several pollutants. However, indoor air quality also requires attention because this is where we spend most of our time.
Which indoor air pollutants raise concern? How can indoor air quality be determined?

1. Airfree®
: the World’s Safest and
Most Tested Air Purifier System
The air we breathe is more important
than the water we drink
General Presentation, Feb 2011
2. Take a breath...
The average person can hold their breath for no more than approx. 45 seconds
Yet we rarely think about the quality of the air we breathe every day...
The average adult
breathes in approx. 10,800
litres of air everyday – air
is therefore >99.9% of the
body’s total daily intake in
terms of food, water and
air
3. Indoor Air Quality
Indoor air quality can be up to 100 times worse than outdoor air
because of the lack of airflow (Source: US EPA)
Americans spend more than 90% of their time indoors
Coughs, colds, sneezing, watery eyes and nasal congestion are
commonly caused by airborne allergens – sufferers are usually entirely
unaware that these are allergies
The majority of breathing-related problems are preventable by
destroying non-visible contaminants and micro-organisms in indoor air
Beyond every day hazards, airborne viruses can be deadly. Outbreaks of
Swine Flu, Avian Flu and SARS are a global risk and the likelihood of
infection can be drastically reduced by sterilizing the air
5. IAQ – the Pollutants
Major airborne pollutants affecting Adults, Infants & Children
in the region:
Pollen
Dust Mite allergens
Mould spores
Particulate Matter (PM)
Ozone
Second hand smoke
Cockroach and other pest allergens
Pet dander
6. IAQ – other factors
Children are more likely to develop allergies if one or both
parents have allergies and/or asthma
People of Arab origin have a greater predisposition to breathing
allergies and asthma
Girls have a greater tendency to breathing allergies and asthma
Higher education levels are associated with increased tendency
Other factors:
Climate
HVAC system
High rise buildings
Age of building
Socio-economic group
Urbanisation and ‘greenification’
7. Current Health Facts
Indoor and outdoor air pollution accounts for 1 in 10 deaths
(WHO)
Asthma & breathing allergies affect more than 30% of the global
population, and is increasing (according to the World Health Organisation)
Residents of the Gulf suffer a disproportionately higher rate of
breathing allergies and asthma with a financial cost of $4.5Bn
Allergies to affect 1 in 4 people in the MENA region by 2050
70% increase in allergy sufferers forecast (MEAAIC Dubai, 2009)
According to research by the UAE University (1994), School Children
between 6 and 14 years old have a high prevalence of diagnosed
asthma (13.9%), allergic rhinitis (22.9%), breathlessness or tightness in
the chest (9.7%) and nocturnal coughing (8.9%), which increases with age
Latest UAE research (2009) says 40% of children and one third of
adults in the UAE suffer from Allergic Rhinitis – the cause is increase in
greenery
9. Infants & Children
Children are “more susceptible” to the harmful effects of airborne pollution
because:
infants & children breathe more rapidly which increases exposure
tend to breathe through mouth, bypassing filtering effect in the nose
immune systems and organs are still not mature
tend to breathe air at a lower level as toddlers crawl and children are smaller
which is more highly polluted as contaminants stagnate at lower levels in the
room
narrower airways means inflammation or irritation caused by airborne
pollutants is much more dangerous
takes less exposure to trigger asthma or a breathing allergy due to sensitivity
of a child’s developing respiratory system
airborne contaminants could affect development of respiratory, nervous,
immune and endocrine systems which has repercussions in adulthood
