Modern Siding Options for Metal Homes. Steel I-Beam Arched Cabins. These fixtures disinfect air as it circulates from mechanical ventilation, ceiling fans, or natural air movement.
The advantage of upper-room UVGI is that it disinfects the air closer to and above people who are in the room. For example, a rectangular-shaped waiting room with 10—30 occupants will require 2—3 upper-air UVGI fixtures.
As part of system installation, care must be taken to control the amount of UV energy directed or reflected into the lower occupied space below levels recognized as safe. Reputable UVGI manufacturers or experienced UVGI system designers will take the necessary measurements and make any required adjustments to prevent harmful UV exposures to people in the space.
Potential Application: Can be used in any indoor environment; most useful in spaces highly occupied with people who are or may be sick.
These systems are designed to serve one of two purposes:. These devices produce relatively low levels of UV energy. This energy is continually delivered 24 hours a day, which is why they are effective. Coil treatment UVGI devices are not designed for disinfecting the air and should not be installed for the purpose of air disinfection.
Air disinfection systems are often placed downstream of the HVAC coils. This location keeps the coil, drain pan, and wetted surfaces free of microbial growth and also disinfects the moving air. Aside from the wavelength, a major difference between the two technologies is that standard UVGI systems are specifically designed to avoid exposing people to the UV energy, while many far-UV devices are marketed as safe for exposing people and their direct environment to UV energy.
A review of peer-reviewed literature indicates that far-UV wavelengths can effectively inactivate microorganisms, including human coronaviruses, when appropriate UV doses are applied.
Questions remain about the mechanisms of killing microorganisms and overall safety. Far-UV might prove to be effective at disinfecting air and surfaces, without some of the safety precautions required for standard UVGI. Far-UV devices are best viewed as new and emerging technology. CDC does not provide recommendations for, or against, any manufacturer or product. There are numerous technologies being heavily marketed to provide air cleaning during the ongoing COVID pandemic.
Common among these are ionization, dry hydrogen peroxide, and chemical fogging disinfection. Some products on the market include combinations of these technologies. These products generate ions, reactive oxidative species ROS, which are marketed using many names , or chemicals into the air as part of the air cleaning process.
People in spaces treated by these products are also exposed to these ions, ROS, or chemicals. This does not necessarily imply the technologies do not work as advertised. As with all emerging technologies, consumers are encouraged to exercise caution and to do their homework. Registration alone, with national or local authorities, does not always imply product efficacy or safety.
Consumers should research the technology, attempting to match any specific claims against the intended use of the product. Consumers should request testing data that quantitively demonstrates a clear protective benefit and occupant safety under conditions consistent with the intended use. When considering air cleaning technologies that potentially or intentionally expose building occupants, the safety data should be applicable to all occupants, including those with health conditions that could be aggravated by the air treatment.
In transient spaces, where average exposures to the public may be temporary, it is important to also consider occupational exposures for workers that must spend prolonged periods in the space.
Preferably, the documented performance data under as-used conditions should be available from multiple sources, some of which should be independent, third-party sources. Unsubstantiated claims of performance or limited case studies with only one device in one room and no reference controls should be questioned. At a minimum, when considering the acquisition and use of products with technology that may generate ozone, verify that the equipment meets UL standard certification Standard for Electrostatic Air Cleaners for production of acceptable levels of ozone, or preferably UL standard certification Environmental Claim Validation Procedure ECVP for Zero Ozone Emissions from Air Cleaners which is intended to validate that no ozone is produced.
Carbon dioxide CO 2 monitoring can provide information on ventilation in a given space, which can be used to enhance protection against COVID transmission. Strategies incorporating CO 2 monitors can range in cost and complexity.
However, greater cost and complexity does not always mean greater protection. Traditionally, CO 2 monitoring systems are expensive, require extensive knowledge to accurately install and set up, and require sophisticated control programs to effectively interact with the building heating, ventilation and air-conditioning HVAC systems in real time. They were not designed to protect building occupants from disease transmission. As the current pandemic response has progressed, this technology has been marketed as a potential tool for providing an indication of building ventilation efficacy, leading to questions about whether monitoring indoor CO 2 concentrations can be used as a tool to help make ventilation decisions.
In some well-designed, well-characterized, well-maintained HVAC environments, the use of fixed CO 2 monitors can be informative. When used, these monitors are often incorporated into demand-controlled ventilation DCV systems that are designed with a primary intent of maximizing energy efficiency through reductions in outdoor air delivery.
However, guidance throughout the pandemic has been to exceed minimum ventilation whenever possible, in addition to masking, physical distancing, enhanced filtration, and other intervention-focused considerations. Fixed-position CO 2 monitors measure CO 2 concentration as an indicator of the number of people in the space. The number of CO 2 sensors, the placement of those sensors, and their calibration and maintenance are collectively a large and complex issue that must not be overlooked.
For example, the CO 2 concentration measured by a fixed, wall-mounted monitor may not always represent the actual concentrations in the occupied space. If air currents from the room HVAC, or even make-up air from windows, flows directly over this monitor location, the corresponding concentration measurements will be artificially low.
If the room has good air mixing, the measured concentration should approximate the true concentration, but rooms are rarely well mixed, particularly in older buildings with aging ventilation systems or none at all.
Changes in CO 2 concentrations can indicate a change in room occupancy and be used to adjust the amount of outdoor air delivered. However, CO 2 concentrations cannot predict who has SARS-CoV-2 infection and might be spreading the virus, the amount of airborne viral particles produced by infected people, or whether the HVAC system is effective at diluting and removing viral concentrations near their point of generation.
As a simple example, a small room with three occupants will have the same level of CO 2 and hence the same outdoor air ventilation rate controlled by the DCV system whether no one has SARS-CoV-2 infection or whether one or more people are infected with the virus.
Ventilation based on CO 2 measurements cannot recognize the increased risk of transmission in the second scenario. A more modest, cost-efficient, and accurate use of CO 2 monitoring is the use of portable instruments combined with HVAC systems that do not have modulating setpoints based on CO 2 concentrations.
This documentation will be the CO 2 concentration benchmarks for each room under the HVAC operating conditions and occupancy levels. One potential target benchmark for good ventilation is CO 2 readings below parts per million ppm.
If the benchmark readings are above this level, reevaluate the ability to increase outdoor air delivery. If unable to get below ppm, increased reliance on enhanced air filtration including portable HEPA air cleaners will be necessary. Once the benchmark concentrations are established, take periodic measurements and compare them to the benchmarks. Under the pandemic response, a pragmatic application of portable CO 2 measurement tools is a cost-effective approach to monitoring building ventilation.
For COVID, the first steps in reducing the indoor concentrations of the virus are wearing face masks , physical distancing , and reducing occupancy levels. Improved ventilation is an additional prevention strategy. For ventilation systems, increasing outdoor air above the code minimum requirements, increasing total ventilation, and increasing filtration efficiencies are more effective at controlling infectious disease transmission than controlling indoor temperature and humidity. Both temperature and humidity can influence the transmission of infectious diseases, including COVID, but that influence has practical limitations.
However, this temperature is far outside the limits of human comfort and could damage some building materials. Condensation can cause future structural issues if not taken care of right away. Examples of moisture damage include:. Again, ceiling fans will work to regulate the interior temperature. Your pole barn builder will need to ensure the proper fan base is included in the layout.

Their ceiling fans are available in different sizes, styles, features, materials, and colors. Do you want to add a ceiling fan to an existing structure? Maybe you want to upgrade your current ceiling fans? In , Envirofan was founded as Northwest Feed Research, an agriculturally based feed supply company.
Their headquarters is located in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. In order to ensure that the new ceiling fan will stay in place, proper support is required. If your ceiling is already fitted with a box marked 'Suitable for Ceiling Fan Support', then you can skip these steps and proceed with the installation of the actual ceiling fan. To install a metal ceiling fan octagonal box, remove the old ceiling box off of the ceiling. Knock out a metal piece at the top of the ceiling fan box and pass the wires from the ceiling through the new ceiling fan box.
Secure the new metal ceiling fan box to the ceiling joist with wood screws. After ensuring the new ceiling box is secure, you can proceed with the installation of the ceiling fan. Drill a hole in the ceiling joist for the J-hook bracket that came with your industrial ceiling fan to secure to.
After you have drilled the hole that will hold the J-hook bracket into the ceiling joist, securely screw the J-hook bracket into the ceiling joist. Slide the drop rod over the wiring on the top of the fan motor and secure it with the included bolts. Slide the lower canopy over the drop rod so the flat part of the canopy is facing downwards, and secure it to the down rod with the included Philips-head screw. Slide the upper canopy over the drop rod so that the flat part of the canopy is facing upwards towards the ceiling.
Do NOT secure the upper canopy to anything yet. Secure the U-shaped brackets on either side of the top of the drop rod with the included bolts. Set the roller ball into the U-shaped bracket. Hang the completed fan assembly onto the J-hook. If your ceiling fan came with a volt AC 3-prong cord and plug, route it to a volt AC outlet, but do NOT plug it into the outlet.
If your ceiling fan came with wires, match the colors of the wires from the fan bare ground to bare ground, black to black, and white to white with the colors of the wires from the ceiling. Hold the wires together with fire-retardant vinyl electrical tape and plastic wire nuts.
