AtmosAir Solutions’ bi-polar ionization (BPI) tubes, installed in hotel HVAC systems, suppress airborne and surface micro-organisms and pathogens, including viruses, bacteria and mold.
According to Steve Levine, president/CEO of the Connecticut-based company, BPI tubes make hotels healthier by emitting ions into the air 24/7 that seek, attack, and neutralize airborne and surface contaminants. They also reduce odors and unhealthy, irritating volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and are also highly effective at deterring coronavirus.
“Adding BPI tubes to existing or new HVAC systems can make hotel buildings more sustainable by reducing energy needs and lowering operational costs,” Levine noted. “As an average hotel can spend 50 percent of its energy costs on HVAC-related expenses, bi-polar ionization products allow buildings to reduce outside air requirements by 50 percent or more, resulting in a 20-40 percent reduction in HVAC energy spending.”
The technology also makes buildings more sustainable by reducing energy and operational costs. Select Hilton, Marriott, Kimpton, DoubleTree, Gaylord, Moxy, Hard Rock and Loew’s properties are among those investing and installing BPI clean indoor air quality (IAQ) technology.
