Despite measurable occupant benefits of improved IAQ,
ranging from improved cognitive function to a reduction
in the spread of illness, many buildings have room for
improvement. The University of Colorado Boulder recently
found that 60% of K-12 classrooms studied were operating
below recommended ventilation levels, and Johns Hopkins
recently issued a letter to school administrators about
the importance of filtration and ventilation to help
reduce the spread of COVID-19 in schools. In addition to
helping to prevent the spread of illness, researchers
from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, as
part of the renowned
COGfx Study series, have found cognitive performance
in buildings with higher IAQ levels and enhanced
ventilation averaged 101 percent higher than those in
conventional buildings.
To achieve optimal IAQ and associated benefits, Carrier
Healthy Air Systems experts will evaluate site systems,
operations, conditions and collect IAQ measurements,
then analyze the data and, if needed, provide customized
recommendations to meet certification standards.
Customers can leverage solutions from Carrier’s vast
Healthy Buildings program portfolio to implement
solutions. Once desired results are achieved, Carrier
provides a certified report along with materials for
building owners to visually demonstrate the facility has
been verified as meeting Carrier Certified Healthy Air
Systems standards. Carrier will work with customers to
periodically validate the certification.
Customers seeking to enhance their certification with a
real-time view of their building’s health score can
leverage Carrier’s groundbreaking digital platform,
Abound, which provides a live, transparent rating of
a building’s health score or status on real-time digital
dashboards through the continuous monitoring of IAQ
sensor data.
