South Coast Improvement Company, a design-build general contractor serving New England and the Mid-Atlantic states, has developed a solution that can address “shared air” problems during construction or renovation projects.
SCI-Wave utilizes needlepoint bi-polar ionization technology to create ions that circulate into conditioned space to mitigate pathogens, airborne particulates, allergens, chemical pollutants and odors. With no harmful byproducts, no mercury and no lighting issues, SCI-Wave treats all indoor air. The company is widening use of the product in light of the coronavirus threat.
“Right now, in most facilities — whether it’s an assisted living, a restaurant, hotel, walk-in clinic, university or office space — the HVAC system acts as a delivery system for the virus throughout the building,” said Tom Quinlan, president of South Coast Improvement. “Someone at one end of a building could infect somebody at the other end of the building with the virus being delivered by the HVAC system. … While there are other expensive UV treatments at several times the cost, SCI-Wave uses patented iWave NPBI technology to safely and economically handle a wide array of indoor air quality issues while reducing the building’s carbon footprint and saving energy.”
SCI-Wave is installed within an HVAC system and treats all indoor air with a projected energy savings of 30%.
Based in Marion, MA, South Coast Improvement provides a range of building and renovation services to a senior living, healthcare and institutional client base.
