Indoor Air Quality

Perhaps the Most Frequently Discussed and Pursued Issue in the HVACR Industry Today

Indoor Air Quality

It’s about “the quality of the air” we breathe inside of a building

And it’s become increasingly sensitive over the last 30 years as energy concerns have resulted in tighter buildings

And it’s significant to our industry because most experts agree on one point: the HVAC system stands as the most vital component in

addressing the Quality of Indoor Air

Impact of Poor IAQ

EPA estimates that poor IAQ has a hand in 6000 cancer related deaths each year

EPA reports that up to 150 million work days are lost each year as a result of poor IAQ

EPA has found productivity losses at $5 billion per year, and into the “tens of billions” in total losses

Biocontaminants

There are two very specific but broad types: Bacteria

Fungus

Both are bio aerosols

Both are very prevalent in the air and in our environment

And they can grow to a troublesome level given the opportunity

One solution is a Complete Cleaning & Remediation Program that should Include . . .

A ready-to-use liquid

formulation of chlorine dioxide

Bio-Fresh®cd

Premier antimicrobial inhibitor product

EPA registered since 1994 specifically for HVAC applications

Not a sanitizer ………is bacteriostatic Inhibits or stops the growth of mold

Literally sits dormant until it is activated by acids (i.e. aminos) in cell walls of organisms

Bio-Fresh®cd

Ready-to-use . . . no mixing required

IAQ Assurance Program

A 4-step program for providing preventative maintenance for HVACR systems, including . . .

1. Cleaning the coil2. Protecting the coil with Teflon®

3. Controlling the bacteria, Bio-Fresh® cd4. Application of PanPads® in order to

prevent the growth of biocontaminants in the condensate pan

1. Cleaning the Coil

Dirt & grime on the evaporator coils decrease heat transfer & reduces airflow while increasing run time & power costs

This matter also mixes with moisture to provide a breeding ground for bacteria, mold and odors

1. Cleaning the Coil

Regular cleaning will improve Indoor Air Quality

Select a coil cleaner formulated for evaporator coils, such as HD CalClean®

Evap Pow’r®

Cal-Brite®

Evap Foam®

Evap Fresh

Evap Fresh

Cleans, Deodorizes and Disinfects in 1 step

A “no-rinse” product for evaporator coils

EPA registered for the HVAC application

Cuts dirt and grime

Kills bacteria and mold

Kills H1N1 (Swine Flu), SARS, Norwalk Virus, Staff, Hepatitis, and more.

Eliminates odors

Fresh lemon scent

2. Protecting the Coil

Use Cal-Shield, a ready-to-use coil protectant It protects the evaporator coil from

dirt and grime build-up

Coil stays cleaner longerNext cleaning is easier

It protects coil from corrosive environments like salt air and food acids

It improves IAQ by preventing dirt build-up on evaporator coils, allowing it to flush with condensate

3. Controlling

Protect evaporator coil, drain pan and surrounding area with Bio-Fresh cd®

It is an EPA-registered coil and duct antimicrobial and deodorizer

Tested and proven effective against mold, mildew, and bacteria.

Controls the source of the IAQ problem

Very safe…can be used in occupied building including schools, nursing homes, hospitals, etc.

4. Prevention

A controlled release biocide enclosed in a unique

housing.
