Today’s Buildings Are Expected to Eliminate Waste While Promoting the Health and Productivity of Their Occupants

Autonomous Disinfection Eco-System Could Provide Added Benefit of Energy Savings

There are two seemingly conflicting movements right now in the built environment: energy efficiency practices that tell us to use less and healthy building practices that tell us to do more. Air-Changes Per Hour (ACH) is a metric related to ventilation rates and providing fresh, clean air into our spaces; however, more often than not, outside air needs to be conditioned and moving more air means increased fan and pump energy. ACH is a proven way to reduce and control airborne contaminants. The concept of “equivalent ACH” should also be explored by building engineers looking to balance performance and occupant well-being.

Disinfection solutions can provide similar benefits as increased ventilation when it comes to controlling the amount of bacteria and microbes in our air at a fraction of the energy usage. R-Zero Systems has worked tirelessly for the past 2 years to create the world’s first autonomous disinfection ecosystem. Starting with a hospital grade UVC tower during the height of the pandemic and expanding to include upper air, far-UVC and occupancy tracking features, they help landlords and companies bring people back to work safely. Like any new technology, there are many options out there, but few that can combine commercial grade quality, competitive pricing, and autonomous data tracking and reporting to create a disinfection audit trail.
