This air purification and surface decontamination device has exceeded the requirements of the ASHRAE Standard 241-2023 for control of infectious aerosols.
The updated edition introduces advancements in building design and sets ambitious goals for energy efficiency, greenhouse gas emissions reduction, and indoor environmental quality.
ASHRAE Standard 241, Control of Infectious Aerosols, establishes minimum requirements for reducing the risk of the transmission of airborne pathogens, such as the SARS-COV-2 virus, which causes COVID-19.
The standard applies to new and existing buildings and major renovations and provides requirements for many aspects of air-system design, installation, operation, and maintenance.
More than 2,050 HVACR industry professionals attended ASHRAE's 2023 conference in Tampa, Florida. New leadership for 2023-24 was introduced, and a new IAQ standard addressing infectious aerosols was adopted.
ASHRAE announced its commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions with the launch of its redesigned building decarbonization webpage and the release of a new Building Performance Standards Technical Resource Guide.
Two very different standards have recently been introduced that offer HVAC professionals the ability to demonstrate the performance of the systems they install.
