Carrier Launches Healthy Buildings
Program to Help Customers Reinvent Their Buildings for
Occupant Health.
Advanced solutions deliver healthy, safe, efficient and
productive indoor environments for commercial buildings,
marine and more. |
As people around the world adjust to a new normal, the health of
our buildings – and how they influence personal health – is
critically important. Today,
Carrier
introduced its Healthy Buildings Program, an expanded suite of
advanced solutions to help deliver healthy, safe, efficient and
productive indoor environments across key verticals including
commercial buildings, healthcare, hospitality, education, retail and
marine.
In support of this, Carrier today also launched
Corporate.Carrier.com/HealthyBuildings to help customers consult
with Carrier’s experts to take advantage of the broad range of
industry-leading healthy building technologies. Carrier Global
Corporation (NYSE:CARR) is a leading global provider of innovative
heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC), refrigeration,
fire, security and building automation technologies.
“COVID-19 has reinforced the important role that buildings play in
ensuring and protecting public health,” said Dave Gitlin, President
& CEO, Carrier. “As people return to work, hotels greet guests,
schools welcome back students and stores reopen, indoor air quality
and safe buildings are of paramount importance. For the economy to
successfully recover, people need to have trust in the safety of the
buildings they are entering.
New technologies like microscopic filtration systems and
touchless building controls have gone from nice-to-have conveniences
to must-have protections. The Carrier Healthy Buildings Program can
help enable healthier and safer indoor environments as we get back
to our new normal.”
As a founding member of both the U.S. Green Building Council and the
International WELL Building Institute, Carrier has long been an
industry leader in enhancing building health to promote personal
health. Now, it’s essential that the world have the solutions and
services that enable healthy environments.
“The company that invented modern air conditioning is uniquely
positioned to deliver healthy building expertise,” said Rajan Goel,
who leads Carrier’s Healthy Buildings Program as the head of
Carrier’s Building Solutions Group. “Through the Healthy Buildings
Program, Carrier’s experts will work closely with customers to not
only design but operate, maintain and upgrade buildings that protect
what’s most important – the health of those inside.”
Carrier’s Healthy Buildings Program will draw from a comprehensive
suite of solutions and services designed to help improve indoor air
quality (IAQ), increase outside air ventilation and enable touchless
interactions. These include, but are not limited to, the following:

IAQ Assessment
to test air quality and develop and implement upgrades to help
ensure optimal filtration, ventilation, airflow, controls, etc.
Carrier experts can also develop and implement corporate-wide IAQ
engineering standards.
Remote Airside
Management provides continuous validation of IAQ parameters,
periodic checks of equipment health and continuous airside
commissioning, enabled by a 24x7 Command Center.
Wellness Services include helping customers to achieve the
International WELL Building Institute’s WELL building standard
certification, which implements strategies that can help improve a
building’s features – air, water, thermal, lighting, acoustics, etc.
Carrier also conducts WELL performance testing to help ensure
continued high-performance operations and to upgrade certification
levels in support of companies’ increased concerns regarding public
health.
Remote Energy Management connects HVAC and other building
systems to provide advanced cloud-based analytics that help optimize
energy efficiency, equipment uptime, occupant comfort and
operational productivity.
Emergency Assets support building needs with a wide variety
of HVAC equipment on demand to meet building system upgrade
requirements to reopen quickly and safely in the current
environment.
Advanced Access Services helps to improve control site
density by setting limits on the number of people allowed in a
specific space and can prevent access once that number is met.
Customers can also set up alerts for attempts to access blocked
areas or
generate reports for contact tracing. Carrier also provides remote
monitoring and other custom solutions to meet the new challenges of
today.
Security Services provide solutions and upgrades to help
ensure increased resilience and a healthier and safer working
environment. These solutions include contactless management,
temperature screening and video analytics supported by connected
services, remote monitoring and remote diagnostics.
Carrier Healthy Building Technologies
In addition to Carrier’s comprehensive HVAC, fire, security and
controls product offering, Carrier’s Healthy Buildings offering
includes:
Filtration technologies, available in new equipment and for
retrofits, include various MERV filters, HEPA filters for
particulate matter and the InfinityTM electrostatic filters for
airborne pathogens. Carrier also offers devices using UVC light,
which are intended to target viruses, and UV photocatalytic
oxidation to help remove volatile organic compounds and improve IAQ.
OptiCleanTM
Negative Air Machine cleans contaminated air and creates
pressure to prevent air from spreading to different sections of a
building. If negative pressure is not required, the machine can be
used as an air “scrubber” to pull air in, remove contaminants and
discharge cleaner air back into a room.
ActivAirTM hybrid hydronic air terminal delivers increased
ventilation and outside air – key infection control strategies – in
an energy-efficient way with low noise.
Environmental Index in our building automation platform
enables building operators to manage temperature, humidity and CO2
levels in a way that identifies and addresses healthy building
performance issues.
DirectKeyTM mobile
access solution has empowered millions of hotel guests to safely
access their hotel rooms without contact by bypassing the front desk
check-in and eliminating many traditional touch points in the
process.
BlueDiamondTM touchless access enables building occupants to
eliminate a significant number of access touch points through
implementation of industry leading mobile credentialing technology,
making their environment safer.
MyWayTM building services platform integrates HVAC and other
system controls, touchless access, indoor location and other
services for a safe and personalized occupant experience.
Carrier can help upgrade and operate facilities with the appropriate
package of solutions based on our customers’ industry applications
and requirements. Learn more about Carrier’s Healthy Buildings
