Efficient portable air coolers for professionals


Health and climate benefits


HVAC systems are essential for maintaining comfort, but they can sometimes circulate pollutants. Air purification systems can help mitigate this issue, offering significant benefits to individuals with respiratory conditions like asthma or allergies, or in environments where airborne pathogens need to be controlled (such as hospitals or offices).


As global weather patterns change and air quality becomes an increasing


concern due to pollution and other environmental factors, air purifiers offer a valuable tool for ensuring healthier indoor environments. By removing harmful particulate matter and pollutants that can be exacerbated by climate events, air purifiers provide an added layer of protection against the negative effects of climate change, such as heatwaves and air pollution episodes.


Retrofitting current systems


Retrofitting air purification systems into existing buildings with pre-installed HVAC systems is successful, driven by the increasing need to improve indoor air quality (IAQ), enhance energy efficiency, and meet stricter environmental regulations. The process involves integrating air purifiers with the existing HVAC


infrastructure to provide cleaner air without requiring major modifications to the building’s current systems. Heritage buildings may be under strict preservation guidelines and building codes may need to be adhered to. However, in these instances, standalone air purifiers may be preferable as the units are independent and do not require ductwork. They can be strategically placed in key areas of a building, such as offices, conference rooms, or common areas, to improve air quality without altering the HVAC system itself. Engineers should consider the options regarding space availability, without the need to make significant alterations which can sometimes be difficult or costly. An option that is possible where space is at a premium is to use in-duct additions, installed directly into existing HVAC ducts, working alongside the HVAC’s air handling unit. In some instances, the existing HVAC system may need to be altered to


accommodate air purification. The airflow, filtration capacity and ductwork might need tweaks to integrate fully with the purification technology. Collaboration between engineers and technology providers As the world moves towards meeting Net Zero goals and adapting to


increasingly stringent environmental standards close collaboration between engineers, architects, and technology providers is essential. The integration of air purification systems into building designs has become more crucial than ever and engineers need to work closely with manufacturers of air purification technologies to integrate these systems seamlessly into building designs. This ensures that air purifiers are not seen as an afterthought but as an


integral part of the building’s environmental strategy, helping to achieve the desired results in both sustainability and health, regulatory compliance, corporate responsibility and also financial incentives. Prioritising this synergy ensures a sustainable, comfortable future for building occupants while contributing to the broader fight against climate change.
