Shortly before his inauguration January 20, President Joe Biden proposed his administration’s 100-day plan to combat the COVID-19 pandemic.

As part of that plan, President Biden is calling on Congress to invest $170 billion in K-12 schools and higher education, specifically highlighting increased funding for testing, transportation, cleaning and ventilation systems.

As the HVAC industry awaits changes in ASHRAE codes 62.1 and 62.2, two things are very likely; ASHRAE may call for higher provision of outdoor air and more robust air purification measures in response to the pandemic. Specific to the HVAC professionals, this creates opportunity in the commercial space.

Phenomenal Aire IAQ technology, made by Top Product Innovations Inc., has been proven by third-party testing to effectively deactivate SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) surface strain with a 99.9% reduction in 60 minutes. Phenomenal Aire’s bipolar ionization technology known, as a Cold Plasma Generator (CPG), is powered by Needlepoint Clusters™.  The testing, which was conducted by Innovative Bioanalysis, is the first example of an HVAC system needlepoint bipolar ionization manufacturer formally testing its technology against SARS-CoV-2 and publishing the results.

Phenomenal Aire is quickly and easily installed in any forced air system, commercial or residential, in under 30 minutes.
