Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) for COVID-19 in Indiana

 

Purge Virus is pleased to provide these indoor air quality (IAQ Services) to help reduce the spread of COVID-19 during the pandemic and help increase safety and productivity for years to come beyond COVID-19 for businesses in Indiana. 

Allergens, chemicals, and volatile organic compounds are all around us from products we buy to furniture and interior finishes. With many workplace environments that have closed windows and central HVAC systems, we are vulnerable to “Sick Building Syndrome” (SBS). According to ASHRAE, the estimated productivity decrement caused by SBS symptoms has an annual cost of $60 billion. A 20-50% reduction in these symptoms, considered feasible and practical, would bring annual economic benefits of $10 billion to $30 billion.

Clean Indoor Air = Safety and Savings

ASHRAE Estimated potential productivity gains from improvements in indoor environments.

Reduced respiratory illness: 16 to 37 million avoided cases of common cold or influenza: $6 – $14 billion

Reduced allergies and asthma: 8% to 25% decrease in symptoms within 53 million allergy sufferers and 16 million asthmatics: $1 – $4 billion

Reduced sick building syndrome symptoms: 20% to 50% reduction in SBS health symptoms experienced frequently at work by approximately 15 million workers: $10 – $30 billion

Improved worker performance from changes in thermal environment and lighting (beyond SBS): $20 – $160 billion

IAQ Services offered by Purge Virus include IAQ Assessment, IAQ Site Visit, PTAC Units, Mini Split Systems, and Ceiling Cassettes. These services will help reduce the spread of COVID-19 and promote Indoor Air Quality for businesses in Indiana. 

For more news on COVID-19 in Indiana: COVID-19 economic relief package is welcomed news for Indiana businesses

“President Trump’s signature on the COVID-19 economic relief package over the weekend became welcomed news to businesses in Central Indiana. After a difficult year, owners and employees are anxious to get some financial help.

Trump signed a more than $2 trillion COVID-19 and annual federal spending package which will provide relief for millions of Americans. The president demanded for an increase to direct payments from $600 to $2,000. On Monday, the Democratic-led House is set to vote to increase the payments to $2,000. That will send a new bill to the Senate where Republicans have the majority but oppose more spending.

In addition to direct checks to qualified Americans, the COVID-19 economic relief package boosts weekly unemployment benefits and revives the Paycheck Protection Program. It also extends the eviction moratorium and includes rental assistance.”
