Educational facilities should be safe places for both students and staff members, not only in a physical sense, but also in relation to the air being provided for those occupants to breathe. It should be the facility’s obligation to create a safe learning space for the people within their buildings.

Microbial growth in your HVAC system can reduce energy efficiency and contaminate the air in your building. Inside the HVAC system, it is often cold, dark, and wet providing the perfect environment for mold and other microbial organisms to grow. Any spores or particles released into the airstream below the filters will go directly into the air you breathe. In the aftermath of COVID-19, you might consider adding a disinfectant coil cleaning solution to your preventive maintenance plan.

The primary purpose of HVAC filtration is to protect the HVAC equipment and maintain its performance by preventing the buildup of dust, dirt, and debris on components such as coils, fans, and motors. Additionally, HVAC filters help remove airborne particles such as pollen, pet dander, mold spores, bacteria, viruses, and other contaminants that can affect the health and comfort of occupants.
