Aprilaire Healthy Air System | Fresh Air Ventilation System in New York


Fresh Air Ventilation
Air
inside the home
can be up to 5 times more polluted than the air outside. A properly functioning
whole-home ventilation system is critical to maintaining a Healthy Home
environment. Fresh air ventilation brings in air from the outside to dilute
stagnant indoor air and remove airborne contaminants.
Products
such as the Aprilaire Model 8145 Fresh Air Ventilator and Model 8126X
Ventilation System bring in the recommended amount of fresh air, using only a
minimal amount of energy. Combining fresh air ventilation with our IAQ
thermostats allows homeowners to easily adjust the amount of fresh air being
brought into their home.

Air Filtration
Proper
filtration of the air in the home, as well as incoming air from ventilation, is
key to removing particulates from the air.
According
to the United States National Library of Medicine of the National Institutes of
Health, coronavirus particles average 0.13 microns in size, and most airborne
viruses range from 0.03 to 0.3 microns.
Aprilaire
MERV 16 Allergy & Asthma Filters provide the highest rate of effectiveness,
capturing up to 96%* of airborne particles the size of viruses. When used in
Aprilaire Air Cleaners, these filters feature Self-Seal Technology, which
minimizes the amount of air bypassing the filter.
*Contaminants
removed based on air passing through the filtering system

Humidity Control
Whether
it’s combatting dry air or reducing excess moisture and its resulting problems,
proper humidity in the home greatly reduces the transmission of viruses. ASHRAE
promotes keeping humidity between 30-60% in order to minimize virus survival
rates.
To
properly control humidity and reduce viruses in the home, Aprilaire provides
humidifier products such as the 600, 700, and 800, as well as the 1850
dehumidifier. These products are designed to help make the homes healthy by
keeping humidity within its optimal range, no matter the time of year or region
of the country.

We support the findings
and recommendation of ASHRAE that the most effective way to prevent proliferation of
airborne viruses is by installing a whole home Healthy Air System containing 3
essential elements:
1.
Air Cleaner with a high performance filter
2.
Humidity Control
3.
Ventilation for fresh air
