AHU Coil & Tube Restoration: Driving Improved IAQ and Energy Savings Through Innovation
In this presentation, Michael Estes, VP of Business Development at AQUIS, will discuss and educate attendees about the harmful effects of biofilms on the indoor environment. More specifically, Mike will discuss how the interior of air handling units (AHU) are major sources of microbial growth such as fungi, bacteria, and viruses, and how cooling coils, condensate drain pans and fiberglass insulation are primary amplification sites for microbial growth.
Four key learning objectives from this learning session will be as follows:
1. What are biofilms, and why are they so dangerous to the indoor environment?
2. How AHUs, specifically cooling coils, are amplification sites for harmful microbial growth, like biofilms.
3. How Coil and Tube Restoration eliminates biofilms while improving coil efficiency, mitigates IAQ issues, and provides compelling opportunities for energy savings.
4. How taking a holistic approach to AHU remediation through refurbishment, coil and tube restoration, and confirmation ATP testing is the best approach to restoring hygienic conditions to building AHUs.
