Air Innovations Featured in Distributed Energy
HEPAIRx System Praised for Its Energy Efficient Ventilation Solution
"If one letter is neglected in HVAC it is the 'V,'" writes Paul Hull in "Distributed Energy: The Journal for Onsite Power Solutions." "HVAC is all about our comfort, so the 'V' is most important. In this area, I came across a program going on in New York that intrigued and pleased me ..." Hull describes Syracuse CoE Silver Partner Air Innovations' energy-efficient HEPAIRx product, currently undergoing clinical trials in the homes of more than 30 asthmatic children, ages five to 16, in northern New York, with the help of Clarkson University. "The preliminary findings of the pilot study show that the product has reduced concentrations of particulate matter, volatile organic compounds, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide that trigger respiratory response."
