Important Facts From The ASHRAE Announcement

Our Cleanroom Manufacturing Team Stays Informed About Important Industry Changes

AJ Manufacturing is at the forefront of the custom HVAC industry, and this means continually staying informed about industry trends and changes as they occur in real time. When we design cleanroom fan filter units, or any of our signature HVAC products for your critical environment, we want you to feel confident that your products will not only meet or exceed compliance requirements, but will remain effective and efficient for the long run, even as your industry continues to evolve.

That’s why we are very interested in ASHRAE’s recent press release, which announced their commitment to developing a particular standard for indoor air quality pathogen mitigation. As a cleanroom manufacturing leader, we already ensure our products can meet ASHRAE’s standards for air distribution in healthcare facilities – now, with the development of this new standard, we’re hard at work on solutions to ensure that the release of this standard coincides with innovative solutions from AJ.

What You Should Know About ASHRAE’S Indoor Air Quality Pathogen Mitigation Standard

Below, AJ Manufacturing’s team provides the most important takeaways from ASHRAE’s announcement of a forthcoming standard for indoor air quality pathogen mitigation.

The primary purpose of this standard is to provide guidance on pathogen mitigation – how indoor environments reduce contaminants from the air.
The urgency of this standard has come from the prevalence of RSV, COVID-19, and the flu, as well as a greater interest in indoor air quality as a human health concern over the past three years.
Governments are also increasingly interested in developing – or have already developed – plans to ensure clean air in buildings.
While ASHRAE responded effectively to COVID-19 with specific guidance that educated governments and businesses, indoor air quality standards are now more broadly needed, especially after ASHRAE further increased its credibility during this challenging time.
ASHRAE’s standard will be expedited and will likely be published in the next four to five months. It will include standards for the building and installation of indoor air quality systems, options for alternative methods for excellent indoor air quality, information on testing, documentation, and more, which those in the healthcare sector and other industries that utilize cleanroom fan filter units from our cleanroom manufacturing team are already familiar with.
The language of ASHRAE’s new mitigation standard – like its other standards – will be written, as their press release states, with “code enforceable” language and metrics for governments and businesses alike
The standard will also, of course, be “consensus-based,” which is a signature scientific and organizational feature of ASHRAE’s work.

How AJ Manufacturing Addresses ASHRAE’s Indoor Air Quality Standards

Since 2008, ASHRAE began supplying recommendations for healthcare facilities via Standard 170, AJ Manufacturing has ensured that our cleanroom manufacturing air distribution products adhere to their guidance, so that our stakeholders – including healthcare workers and patients – get the utmost protection in medical environments.

Our cleanroom fan filter units and several other products conform to ASHRAE 170 requirements:

Ceiling grids
Laminar flow diffusers
HEPA filters
ULPA filters
AJ’s signature supply and return grilles

AJ Manufacturing can guarantee that when ASHRAE releases its IAQ Pathogen Mitigation Standard, we’ll be ready with our air distribution products to meet these new guidelines. When you order products for your critical environment, you want to know that we support your goal of regulatory or agency compliance, and that we’re also providing innovative services for your facilities.
