Keeping Doors Open with VerdexAir®
Bringing Healthy Air
Back to Work
The built commercial environment is and always has been an important facet to how we live. From grocery stores to banks to office spaces – we spend much of our time indoors. VerdexAir® is here to help ensure your facility has the best indoor air quality, and not only is a safe space, but improves the well-being of your occupants.
​
According to the National Air Filtration Association, “Facility managers should always look to air filtration and cleaning as the best way to protect health and safety of the occupants in a facility by removing contaminants from the air.”
​
This is why effective air filtration solutions are needed as an active defense against harmful airborne contaminants.
​
VerdexAir® offers a full range of HEPA level HVAC filters to keep people inside of your buildings safe while making sure to have the best possible impact on a buildings´ total cost of ownership.
The Old HVAC Building Challenge
The HVAC systems in commercial buildings were never designed do deal with the air pressure (high pressure drop) required to push air thru HEPA-level filters needed to stop viruses.
​
As such, current HVAC systems cannot handle the HEPA filtration needed to capture viruses without burning out the air handling systems, to do so, will require major costly upgrades.
​
This lack of a cost-effective solution is why the CDC and other organizations are recommending only going from a MERV 8 to MERV 13, which current HVAC systems can handle.
​
Unfortunately, MERV 13 is simply not an acceptable level of filtration to capture viruses needed to make office and retail buildings safe.
The Technical Solution - HEPA Upgrade for HVAC Systems
VerdexAir® is the only company that can make a HEPA level filter that captures 99.9% of viruses, compatible with current HVAC handling units within Commercial Buildings.
​
The new, highly effective VerdexAir® HEPA level filters have been specifically optimized for use in commercial buildings, to ensure healthy air in all indoor spaces.
Save Millions in Energy Costs
The life cycle cost of a filter can be broken down as depicted. The initial investment includes the capital cost of the filter, frame and installation, and contributes about 6%.
Further costs to be considered are maintenance cost, which represents the cost of replacement filters and labor, and cost to dispose of the used filters.
By far the largest cost contribution however, is the energy cost of the system necessary to power the fan, making up 76% of the total cost.
​
Energy consumption of a VerdexAir Filter made from Verdex 3D nanofibers is approximately 40% lower than with a traditional HEPA filter of the same efficiency rating.
This energy savings directly translates into a 60% cost savings, allowing significant monetary savings potential for building installations requiring a multitude of filters.

Virus Free Buildings
In times of a pandemic, the regular filter set-up will no longer be sufficiently effective. Standard HVAC filters are not designed to safely capture viruses and bacteria.
​
VerdexAir® provides innovative Nanofiber HEPA level filtration that captures 99.9% of viruses.
Healthy air can become a reality without major system changes or reconfigurations or downtimes.
