Continuous Air Disinfection
The Problem: The Danger in the Air We Breathe
Traditional HVAC systems are dangerously inefficient, requiring hours to clean the air in an occupied space. In high-traffic areas like hallways, waiting rooms, and cafeterias, this creates a significant risk of airborne disease transmission as people are continuously exposed to pathogens suspended in the air.
The Solution: How Upper Air GUV Works
Upper Air Germicidal Ultraviolet (GUV) leverages a 150-year-old scientific principle. The technology is elegant in its simplicity and profound in its effectiveness.
- The Thermal Plume: Every person naturally gives off body heat, creating a warm air current that rises towards the ceiling, carrying airborne pathogens (aerosols) with it.
- The Kill Zone: We install the Health Canada-approved S300-G-MED2 units near the ceiling, creating a concentrated, powerful zone of UV-C light that is completely safe for occupants below.
- Continuous Disinfection: As contaminated air enters the kill zone, pathogens are neutralized in seconds. This creates a continuous cycle of disinfection, constantly cleaning the air in real-time as people breathe and interact.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Upper Air GUV safe for people who are in the room?
Yes, completely. The units are installed above head height and are shielded to direct UV-C light upwards, creating a disinfection zone near the ceiling that is safely separated from occupants. The technology is approved by Health Canada for use in occupied spaces.
How is Upper Air GUV different from a standard HEPA filter?
HEPA filters are passive, trapping particles that must be physically pulled through them. Upper Air GUV is an active system that disinfects the air in the upper volume of the entire room, neutralizing airborne pathogens without relying on air passing through a filter. The two technologies work together for a more comprehensive solution.
What kind of maintenance do the S300-G-MED2 units require?
Maintenance is minimal, primarily involving a simple annual replacement of the UV-C lamp and a periodic dusting of the fixture to ensure optimal output.
