INDOOR AIR FILTERUnited Air Specialists' VisionAir filters are an effective and user-friendly solution to indoor air pollution from smoke, aerosol, dust, and germs. The filters remove 99.97% of indoor irritants and pollutants, while a carbon filter removes unpleasant odors, producing purified air that is healthy and easy to breathe. Model VisionAir1 is wall-, ceiling-, or stand-mounted; VisionAir2 can be mounted on the wall or ceiling. These filters feature an unobtrusive design and quiet performance, running at a sound level lower than the average PC. UNITED AIR SPECIALISTS, INC.

ENERGY CONTROL
PST5000-5 digital energy management system enhances Smart Systems' people-sensing, load-shedding, multi-stage ventilation systems. Upon an occupant's return, the control system adjusts the room temperature back to the original setting within minutes. The temperature and recovery time can be dictated by the occupant or they can be programmed within parameters by the building management. The system uses a highly sensitive humidity sensor to target dew point or relative humidity levels.

VENTILATION CONTROL
AirCycler™ from Lipidex is a ventilation control designed to improve the temperature control, humidity, and filtration systems by periodically operating the central fan in a facility. Working with the air handler and low-voltage thermostat wiring, the ventilation control allows "averaging" of air temperature and eliminates stagnant air that a thermostat cannot detect. AirCycler activates the central fan only after a selected period of time during which the fan has not operated. Benefits include lower monthly utility bills, increased thermal comfort, and higher resale value.

GEOTHERMAL HEAT PUMP
ClimateMaster's R410A Tranquility geothermal water-source heat pump uses a non-polluting EarthPure™ R410A refrigerant in order to protect the environment, while reducing energy costs. Geotheremal heat pumps are interconnected by way of an efficient water loop, rather than by extensive ductwork. Engineered for long life and reliability, the 27 EER system includes five lift-out service panels for easy access to all internal components. Tranquility features a dual-platform sound-absorbing system and Copeland UltraTech two-stage unloading scroll compressors for quiet operation.

HUMIDITY CONTROLLennox® L Series rooftop air-conditioning units with Humiditrol® reduce humidity in the conditioned air it delivers to buildings, limiting the spread of allergens. Standard on most L Series AC units, Humiditrol is a patented, hot gas-reheat system that controls humidity based on relative humidity (RH) levels. The result is improved humidity control, even on mild temperature days when many thermostat-initiated systems can fail. Compatible with third-party systems, the system is designed to control mold and bacteria growth that can affect absenteeism and long-term health problems.

SOLAR ROOF SYSTEMS
BP Solar's EnergyMax™ Solar Electric Roof Systems turn roof space into an electricity-generating asset. Engineered to tilt towards the sun, these roof systems maximize the use of sunlight to generate more electricity per module than comparable flat roof systems. EnergyMax provides a complete and reliable solar energy solution, using only proven system designs and components and includes an exclusive energy production guarantee. The shade provided from an EnergyMax roof system shields the building's roof from UV radiation and keeps the roof cool.
