The American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Engineers1 (ASHRAE)’s Epidemic Task Force recently updated core recommendations for reducing airborne infectious aerosol exposure in response to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. These recommended changes are based on limits that ventilation, filtration, and air cleaners can be deployed flexibly to achieve exposure reduction goals subject to constraints, including comfort, energy use, and costs.
Specific to this paper, Stark Tech has identified indoor air quality strategies and technologies to address and achieve the recommended air changes per hour (ACH) of 6 to 10 ACH and air cleaning and filtration levels. This includes using combinations of filters and air cleaners that achieve MERV-13 or higher for recirculated air by Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems.
In response, Stark Tech, in collaboration with Healthway, developed a cost-effective solution that decouples indoor HVAC and ventilation systems to provide an additional 4 to 10 ACH per room, creating optimal airflow at room level. Healthway’s patented disinfecting filtration system (DFS) is built into the design to develop sub-micron filtration, capturing particles that meet and exceed HEPA standards of 99.97% at 0.3 microns, creating “mini cleanrooms” within each space.

In a quick 16-week turnaround, Stark Tech was able to install dehumidifiers to maintain tight humidity control in order to achieve the cleanroom conditions needed to convert the 306,000 sq. ft. warehouse into a mass production site.
In a green architecture design, Stark Tech incorporated a vegetated lower roof and photovoltaic collector on the upper roof with integrated temperature and lighting controls to maintain parameters that save energy and cost.
The project is a 350 scfm waste water treatment plant. “The ability to capture biogas from our sewage (and transform it into RNG) is the type of innovative project that will help us reach our renewable energy goals sooner rather than later.”
