Improve IAQ & Save Money with PURE-Liner – The Drain Pan Protection System
As part of the HVAC restoration process PURE-Liner drain pan protection products are GREENGUARD Indoor Air Quality Certified® for low volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can be used.
Building Remediation Sciences, a division of Pure Air Control Services, a leading provider of indoor air quality HVAC remediation and mold removal services in the US, provides commercial and residential GREEN AHU Restoration Program aimed at increasing the energy efficiency and improving indoor air quality for its customers. As part of the restoration process our interior AHU products e.g. closed cell insulation and PURE-Liner drain pan products are GREENGUARD Indoor Air Quality Certified® for low volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These products have met the Children and Schools classification, which is the most stringent classification GREENGUARD offers.
PURE-Liner is a specially produced sheet membrane system incorporating unique resins that are placed over existing rusted out drain pans and provides antimicrobial technologies to protect it. PureLiner is ideal for use in schools, office buildings, hospitals and other buildings where the growth of mold, mildew, bacteria, and algae in the AHU drain pan must be minimized.
The PURE-Liner drain pain protection solution benefits include:
- Extends the life of air handling units (AHU’s)
- GreenGuard Certified
- Lines the existing condensate pan, floor or basin to stop corrosion and eliminate water leaks
- Exceeds the stringent fire code for HVAC systems (NFPA 90A)
- Chemical resistant
- Exceeds ASTM EB-03 25/50 index
- Provides active antimicrobial surface to act as secondary defense against bacterial and fungal growth
- No downtime for installation
- No VOC’s
- Does not require the removal of air handler or cooling tower components
- LEED compliant
- Improves indoor air quality
- Biological organism control
A recent article in the ASHRAE Journal entitled Study Verifies Coil Cleaning Saves Energy revealed a $40,000 a year savings from just one air handling system as a result of the restoration of the air handler/coil system at the 1500 Broadway a 34 story skyscraper building in Times Square, New York City home to ABC Studios and Good Morning America. In addition, the study indicated that they were able to decrease coil pressure drop 14% resulting in a corresponding increase in air flow and increasing the thermal efficiency of the cooling coil 25% while improving IAQ conditions. As a result of this, many environmental consultants, engineers and architects have requested that the newly installed ductwork be cleaned to ensure good indoor air quality (IAQ) in the building once the HVAC system is turned on in order to achieve US Green Building Council LEED Gold certification program.
Doug Randall, Remediation Manager for Building Remediation Sciences states that “many of our valued clients are requesting that we assist them in professionally cleaning the HVAC system and provide a QA/QC program to achieve their LEED Gold rating. They are getting points toward their LEED Gold label by this effort and it’s a great way to achieve a high energy status, an energy savings as much as 15% and improve IAQ helping create a significant economic stimulus.”
Construction projects often create a lot of dust and debris, which can be pulled into the HVAC system, where it will contaminate the inside surfaces of the duct. It is a good idea to clean new ductwork prior to occupancy in new construction facilities and to inspect the air ducts before you start remodeling, reconstruction or installing a new air handling system. Chances are that the air duct systems have not been cleaned since they were built or if they were they most likely were not done professionally.
Industry performance standards developed by the National Air Duct Cleaners Association require that all interior surfaces of an air duct system be thoroughly cleaned, from the point air enters the system downstream to where it exits at the supply registers, including the air handler, evaporator coil to the return air registers.
During the cleaning process the HVAC system must be placed under HEPA fitted negative air pressure, to control dust. Power brushes and compressed air are utilized to loosen debris being pulled downstream to the high powered 5000 cfm vacuum where it is removed from the system. In Florida, a contractor must have an air conditioning and refrigeration contractor licensed to clean air duct systems to association standards or to obtain certification as an association air system cleaning specialist.
