Looking for an air purification or ventilation system for Aged Care facilities that can help reduce air borne pathogens and viruses including COVID-19?
With the elderly one of the most vulnerable demographics impacted by the pandemic, we wanted to share an exciting new product update – Pierlite’s Aether LED Troffer – and its benefits.
With aged care residents spending much of their time indoors, especially in the winter months, indoor air quality is paramount – especially with COVID-19 cases in the community.
At Armitage Electrical in Brisbane, we believe installing an air purification system such as Pierlite’s Aether LED Troffer – can help to boost the safety and comfort of aged care residents and staff indoors.
Below we share more about the benefits of this HEPA air filter for Aged Care environments and how we can organise installation for Brisbane facilities.
COVID-19 and Aged Care Facility Ventilation
According to the World Health Organisation, COVID-19 can spread in indoor settings which are crowded, poorly ventilated and where people spend long periods of time.
“This is because aerosols can remain suspended in the air or travel farther than conversational distance (this is often called long-range aerosol or long-range airborne transmission),” World Health Organisation.
In Australia, providers of aged care are encouraged to consider ventilation as part of their outbreak planning and response. But now, as society learns to live with COVID-19, new technology has been developed and can be retrofitted into existing facilities or installed into new aged care developments with ease.
“This should be part of the risk assessment to manage hazards in the facility, including those for workers in line with state-based workplace safety requirements,” Australian Government, Department of Health.
While the Australian Health Principal Protection Committee suggests that ventilation controls cannot replace other “infection prevention and control mechanisms” improved ventilation offers many advantages and may help limit the spread of respiratory diseases such as COVID-19.
Benefits of Aether Air Purifier for Aged Care
At Armitage Electrical, we are excited to be among the first to roll out this new technology.
We believe installing the Aether LED Troffer by Pierlite can help to keep aged care residents and workers safe and comfortable indoors. Here are 4 benefits of this technology:
- Cleaner indoor air: The dual technology (H13 Medical Grade HEPA Filter with Germagic Technology and UVC LED air disinfection chamber) cleanses the air of 99.995% of airborne pathogens such as COVID-19 and influenza.
- Quiet operation
- Easy to install in any space as there are multiple mounting options. The design of the Aether Troffer can be easily retrofitted into any existing ceiling. The Armitage team can advise on the best mounting option for you – either recessed, surface mounted or suspended.
- Unobtrusive design
