Topic Summary:
The proven power of germicidal ultraviolet-C (UVC) as an effective inactivation method for microorganisms, bacteria and viruses in HVAC coils, drain pans and airstream has long been used to help improve indoor air quality (IAQ). However, in addition to improving IAQ, a hidden value of UVC is its ability to restore cooling capacity, reduce maintenance, extend equipment life and greatly increase the potential for energy savings.

We will discuss how UVC works, the fundamentals of the technology, and the advantages of a cleaner, safer more efficient HVAC system while complementing the HVAC filter to treat the air within the building envelope.
