There's been a lot of excitement with our investment to improve our office environment with air purification, not only to protect our team from COVID but also cold and flu germs, as well as allergens.”
SAINT PAUL, MN, UNITED STATES, March 22, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Improved indoor air quality in the workplace is no longer an amenity. Particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, business owners, office managers, employees, and clients consider clean, healthy air a return-to-office necessity. Many of these same individuals rely on ISO-Aire, a line of elite commercial air purifiers, to ensure their office air quality mitigation plans meet recommendations established by leading public health experts. Utilizing medical-grade HEPA filtration, ISO-Aire continuously purifies indoor air to create a safe, healthy office environment by effectively capturing and destroying up to 99.99% of airborne contaminants including the SARS-CoV-2 virus, bacteria, mold, pollen, dust, smoke, and volatile organic compounds.— Gabe Weschcke, Vice President, Llewellyn
“In the continuous war on harmful airborne pathogens, implementing a proactive and proven indoor air strategy is a must to help safeguard employees and customers today and into the future,” explained Chuck Albers, lead developer of ISO-Aire and owner of manufacturer Ducts & Cleats. That is why the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) along with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) recommend utilizing medical-grade HEPA air purifiers as an added layer of protection in reducing the spread of COVID-19 in office workspaces.
“Organizational leaders and business owners are charting mitigation plans to protect employees, whether that’s an in-person environment or hybrid work approach,” said Albers. “ISO-Aire was purpose-built to decrease risk of transmission of COVID-19 in hospital rooms; now our air purifier solutions for offices are safeguarding employee teams utilizing shared spaces such as conference rooms, fitness centers, office settings, cafeterias, restrooms, and reception areas.”
THOMPSON LAW: CDC GUIDANCE TOP PRIORITY
With his Dallas personal injury lawyers offices occupying one-and-a-half floors of prime commercial real estate, Ryan Thompson was looking for effective, quiet office air purifiers to maintain a healthy, safe, and welcoming workspace for Thompson Law employees and clients.
"I began by researching the CDC website and specifically wanted a commercial air purifier with both HEPA and UV-C sanitization components; eventually I found ISO-Aire," explained Thompson, the firm's founder and managing partner. "Maintaining the highest level of indoor air quality possible is a must, particularly as we re-opened after the COVID-19 shutdown. Given the nature of our business – representing those who have been injured – our valued clients entrust us to do what's right and to keep their best interest top of mind, which ranges from sound legal counsel to offering a safe, secure space for in-person appointments."
Thompson worked with ISO-Aire air quality experts to review the firm's office floor plan and assess the appropriate commercial air purifier models and proper quantities to ensure thorough clean air coverage. For example, the RSF250 (300 CFM) was ideal for conference rooms while the RSF500 (500 CFM) was well-suited for cubicle office areas and high-traffic hallways.
FAMILY-OWNED LLEWELLYN PUBLISHING PRIORITIZES EMPLOYEE SAFETY & COMFORT
When welcoming employees back to their offices after a state mandated COVID-19 closure, Llewellyn owners paused to gather input and ideas. According to Gabe Weschcke, Llewellyn publishing vice president, leadership wanted to make sure everyone felt comfortable returning to the headquarters facility.
"One topic of discussion was indoor air quality," Weschcke explained. "We had upgraded our HVAC system a year ago, but there was still concern about the air in certain spaces such as the cafeteria, restrooms, and conference room. We care about our employees, and when we were talking about best ways to transition to the office, we wanted to understand what would help and what would make our team more comfortable and keep everyone safe."
Llewellyn is the world's oldest and largest independent publisher of books for mind, body, and spirit with 75 employees in Woodbury, Minn. After hearing first-hand feedback, Weschcke researched portable air purifiers for offices and contacted ISO-Aire for a workspace assessment. Loaner demo units were installed, and in the end Weschcke felt ISO-Aire would be effective in adding a layer of indoor air quality protection. He also appreciated the low-maintenance, quiet operation, and portability of the medical-grade HEPA purifiers.
"There has been a lot of excitement with our investment in improving our office environment with air purification, not only to protect our team from COVID but also cold and flu germs, as well as allergens like dust and mold," Weschcke explained. "I feel the air is cleaner and the units help ensure we all feel comfortable and safe."
PUBLIC HEALTH RECOMMENDATIONS
Public health experts support improved building ventilation with in-space HEPA air purifiers for offices:
• The CDC recommends using portable, high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) fan/filtration systems to enhance air cleaning and proper CFM (cubic feet per minute) output to achieve the recommended number of air changes per hour (ACH) to delivery proper air distribution for safe, clean indoor air coverage;
• The ASHRAE Epidemic Task Force recommends reducing spread of COVID-19 by selecting standalone filters and air cleaners stating: HEPA filters are even more efficient at filtering human-generated aerosols…HEPA filters are more than 99.97% efficient at capturing airborne viral particles associated with SARS-CoV-2;
• The EPA suggests considering use of portable HEPA air cleaners to supplement increased HVAC system ventilation and filtration, especially in areas where adequate ventilation is difficult to achieve.
