The Clay Center is now equipped with the latest in HVAC technology including filter upgrades, addition of UV-C lights, and a bipolar ionization process. This combination of equipment is the most effective technology to date for cleaning and decontaminating indoor air in large facilities like the Clay Center.
- Upgraded all HVAC filters to MERV15 – All air handling units have been upgraded exceeding the minimum filter recommendation of MERV13.
- Increased air ventilation & circulation – During large events, 100% of the air will be piped from outside. In normal circumstances, only 20% is from outside, while 80% is recirculated.
- Installation of UV-C lights –To disinfect the mold, bacteria, and viruses as it passes through the system.
- NPBI (Needlepoint Bipolar Ionization) – NPBI rids the air of viruses, bacteria, and allergens by introducing negative and positive ions into the air after filtration and UV disinfection.
