Disinfection for Universities
Lumalier is dedicated to providing UVC products for colleges and universities that contribute to:
- Improving health & human wellness
- Reducing absenteeism and increasing the performance of students and faculty
- Providing advanced pathogen reduction to mitigate risk of outbreaks
- Delivering performance-based solutions
- Increasing energy efficiency
- Reducing maintenance costs
Challenges Universities:
Many universities have a mix of older and newer buildings, both of which can have challenges related to both IAQ and energy efficiency. While newer buidings can be more cost-effective to operate, the nature of their advanced design can lead to "sick building syndrome". Older buildings are often less energy efficient and difficult to maintain. UVC systems and solutions can address both types of buildings and IAQ and energy efficiency challenges.
Identifying the specific spaces and challenges within each space are important in determining which of these solutions or combination of solutions will achieve the best results for the level of pathogen reduction required in different university environments, including:
- Dorms
- Cafeterias
- Athletic facilities
- Classrooms & lecture hall
- Administrative buildings
UVC for IAQ and Energy Efficiency
In AHU & In Duct UV Fixtures
In AHU & In Duct UV fixtures, such as the Lumalier AR Series UVC Fixtures, are installed inside ventilation systems to provide high-level, facility-wide disinfection of the airborne infectious pathogens that can cause respiratory sickness, disease, and infection. In AHU & In Duct fixtures are scalable to fit any size air handler unit (AHU).
- Achieves the greatest square foot coverage at the lowest cost.
- Uses the existing ventilation system to disinfect and distribute air.
- Eliminates biological growth on coils and in the drain pan that can cause coil fouling, odors, and premature failure of air conditioning equipment.
- Provides facilities with an ROI benefit with reduced energy consumption and maintenance.
UVC for IAQ
Upper-Air UV Fixtures
Upper-air UV fixtures are engineered to provide very targeted airborne pathogen reduction into high-risk areas.
- Installation applications include lobbies in administrative buildings, classrooms and lecture halls, hallways, cafeterias, libraries, etc.
- Units are available for high or low ceilings and for any square footage.
- Units can be permanently or temporarily installed for flexible space uses.
- Natural convection-currents create repeated air disinfection within defined spaces. Fan assisted models are available.
UVC for Risk Management
Surface Disinfection
Surface disinfection UV fixtures are engineered for high-level disinfection of contaminated surfaces that can spread infection.
- Appropriate for temporary disinfection of floors, desks, and table surfaces that have been contaminated.
- Ideal for treatment of difficult-to-disinfect surfaces, such as keyboards, monitors, lab and cafeteria equipment.
- Surface disinfection units are available in both fixed and portable options.
