Read our latest technical bulletin on the European Standard for ventilation and air conditioning in non-residential buildings.

For a filtration company this standard is of great importance as it is the closest standard that exists stating the level of filtration that should be used to provide a good level of indoor air quality.

For system designers and consultants it offers detail on required air change rates and filtration for the supply of air to commercial and public buildings to provide a healthy environment for occupants.

Read the technical bulletin by clicking on the following link and also visit our testing branch, Airclean Environmental for more details on how to test, inspect and analyse occupant health in indoor environments.

Also, don’t forget those early January orders, we are already programming our schedules for our first weeks back!

Finally we would like to say a big thank you to all of our customers and suppliers who we have worked with this year, it has been a pleasure.

Read our latest Technical Bulletin on the new EN779:2012 Standard for General Ventilation Air Filters.

This standard replaces the old EN779:2002 with the introduction of Minimum Efficiencies for High Performance Air Filters (F7, F8 and F9), and also the renaming of air filters in the Medium Efficiency categories (F5 to M5, F6 to M6).

You will notice changes across the Airclean product range and the website, where these changes have been introduced. In addition over the next month we will be introducing some new products designed specifically to meet the new standard ensuring you can comply with minimal changes to systems and procedures.

On the 3rd October 2012 Airclean Environmental will be showcasing new services and products at The Kent Wellbeing Symposium.

Over the past 30 years of manufacturing air filters and testing clean rooms we have become experts in indoor environments and the effect they can have on occupants. Awareness on the effects of buildings on occupants is on the increase and has led to new legislation and guidelines being introduced which employers must act upon. Airclean Environmental is launched to identify problems and shortfalls in building environments which can lead to the ill health (both mental and physical) of occupants and employees.

The services of Airclean Environmental are aimed to assist Employers and building managers to test and assess their work spaces and identify any problems they may have. By reporting and advising on various improvements that can be made to the working environment, a plane of action can be implemented to improve the working environment having a direct impact on employees and occupants wellbeing and minimise absenteeism and increase productivity.

The Kent WellBeing Symposium is a conference bringing together experts in all fields of Health and Wellbeing and is an opportunity for employers, Building Managers, schools, local authorities, and community groups to learn, and implement wellbeing schemes into their organisations.

Including guest speakers, seminars, interactive workshops and networking opportunities this Wellbeing Event is a day where you can set your own agenda to learn and implement ideas and methodology of Wellbeing and Engaged Prevention in your organisation.
