Tech Talks: Technologies Used to Maintain Indoor Air Quality

May 2021

Welcome to ModernControls Tech Talks. In our first series, we discuss Indoor Air Quality.

In this video we talk about the two most effective means for air purification: BPI (Bipolar Ionization) and UV (Ultraviolet) light treatment.

As air circulates through your HVAC system, it passes through filters and fans which help trap airborne contaminants, resulting in cleaner, healthier, and more breathable air.  However, many contaminants which are more dangerous, like viruses, mold spores, and allergens, can still seep through filters and spread throughout your building.  This is why many commercial and industrial HVAC units are adding UV light treatments and bipolar ionization.

While filters trap contaminants, BPI and UV light treatments kill them completely.  If you’re looking to create a healthy building and a healthy working environment for your tenants, there’s no substitute for these extremely effective air quality technologies.
