THIS BUILDING TECHNOLOGY COULD BE THE SECRET WEAPON IN THE FIGHT AGAINST COVID-19. SO WHY HAVEN'T YOU HEARD ABOUT IT?

Over the last several months, we have quickly learned that COVID-19 is in control of every aspect of our lives, and all we can do is find and implement the best ways to adapt and live with it - at least for now. We have also learned that while we wear our masks, social distance, and avoid gatherings, these practices are not full-proof solutions to mitigate the virus's spread. Scientists  and researchers across the globe have already produced   studies proving that like many viruses, COVID-19 is airborne . When we breathe, speak, cough, sneeze, and even sing, we produce and expel droplets and tiny aerosols (micro-droplets) that carry the virus through the air. Aerosols are believed to be more infectious and can linger and circulate in the air for more than 16 hours, presenting the virus with the opportunity to infect anyone who enters that space. When we are indoors, the air is being recirculated and re-conditioned by the building's air handling system, which does not remove inf
