Entertainment Facilities

Enjoy live music safely, ambient air in the movie theater, and no more bad odours

From movie theaters to concert venues, entertainment facilities have been hit hard by the Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) epidemic. You want your facility to be clean, sanitized, and safe for guests. It’s also important to have a venue that smells fresh and imparts the impression of cleanliness. Meanwhile, heating and cooling costs have skyrocketed, especially for larger venues. However, there is an easy solution to all of these challenges.

The Varionix system uses bipolar ionization to clean and purify indoor air. These positive and negative ions attach to pathogens like viruses and bacteria (including Covid-19), destroying the pathogen’s surface. When this happens, a virus like Covid-19 can no longer reproduce, or infect a person. Viruses can’t survive on commonly-touched surfaces, and bacteria can’t survive or form colonies there.

This same system that protects the air from viruses and bacteria also destroys airborne allergens like dust and mold and reduces energy costs for heating and cooling by drastically lowering the amount of outdoor air needed. On average, buildings that use the Varionix system see a 50% reduction in heating and cooling costs, while achieving the environmental benefits of lowering energy usage.

Coronavirus Concerns

It’s believed that COVID-19 is primarily spread from person to person, between people who are in close proximity to one another (within about 6 feet), or via respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes (CDC). You can put desks 6 feet apart, but coronavirus may also spread through aerosols, or particles that can linger in the air for several hours. Typical air handling systems are not designed to eliminate these particles and can carry them from room to room. Even if you mandate masks in the office, they don’t eliminate the risk and you can’t be sure people won’t improperly wear or take them off when alone in their offices or cubicles. So virus particles can still easily spread through the whole building.

A person can also get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has come into contact with the virus, then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes, although this is not thought to be the main way this virus spreads (CDC). Frequent cleaning and disinfecting can help reduce the spread, but no office has enough staff to clean every surface every time someone touches it.

Now, imagine such an infectious virus inside a building like your office, perhaps because infected respiratory droplets entered the air and traveled inside the HVAC system ducts, as a result of sneezing, coughing, or even touching surfaces within a structure. When these infected droplets are deposited on various surfaces, like desks, everyone is susceptible to the virus. If the pathogen is also floating through the air, there is an additional source of infection.

How can you avoid or alleviate the contamination of your building? Advanced air purification solutions are vital. Varionix systems from Kasel Air, when installed in the existing HVAC systems of buildings or as a standalone unit, actively and efficiently can eliminate microbes and viruses from the air. In this way, they remove the risk of HVAC systems contaminating entire buildings by delivering and depositing infected particles. The continuous application of bipolar ions emitted to indoor air is the most effective air purifying technology for decontaminating indoor air. Varionix system’s bipolar ions flow out into the circulating air, proactively attach to airborne germs, like coronavirus, and destroy them.

Monitor Your Progress

What if your employees still have concerns about their air quality? You can show them just how safe it is. Kasel Air’s collaboration with AirAnswers’ air sampling technology will provide on-location validation of air quality, enabling peace of mind for those utilizing the spaces. These sampling devices monitor the air for viruses, mold, and other allergens so you can ensure your building’s air is safe and clean. Only Kasel Air can provide this unique validated solution for disinfecting the air from Covid-19 and other contaminants.

Additional Benefits

This same Varionix system that protects the air from viruses, bacteria, and odours also destroys airborne allergens like dust and mold and reduces energy costs for heating and cooling by drastically lowering the amount of outdoor air needed. On average, buildings that use the Varionix system see a 50% reduction in HVAC, heating, and cooling costs, while achieving the environmental benefits of lowering energy usage. This is a great way to save money while improving the air quality in your office.

The whole entertainment industry benefits from bipolar ionization

√ Pathogens destroyed and removed. Bipolar ions break the cell membrane surface of bacteria and viruses and eliminate airborne contaminants.

√ Allergens reduced. Bipolar ions bond with contaminants such as mold and dust particles, causing them to gain size and mass and drop to the floor, or return to be more easily filtered. This eliminates them from the air we breathe.

√ Reduction of other common irritants. Bipolar ions break down toxic gases and compounds (VOCs) from dangerous chemicals such as cleaning products, pesticides, paints, solvents, mold, mildew, and more.

√ A fresh, clean venue. The last thing you want is for clients to complain that your venue smells bad. Bipolar ions break down odours at their source and eliminate them — no masking or diluting! They can even tackle toilet odours or that burnt popcorn smell from the concession stand!

√ Improved energy — and financial — conservation. Recycling conditioned, purified air reduces the need for cooling or warming the outside air, saving energy costs. Bipolar ionization drastically reduces the amount of incoming air needed for freshness, so less money is spent heating or cooling outdoor air. In areas where there is a significant need for heating and cooling, energy expenditures are typically reduced by about 50 percent.

√ Environmentally friendly. The KASEL AIR Varionix Bipolar Ionization System is a safe, natural, and environmentally friendly process. Our patented technology uses no chemicals, heavy metals, or mercury, and produces no harmful by-products.
