enVerid Systems, a leading provider of indoor air quality (IAQ) and energy efficiency solutions, announced today that its enVerid Air Purifier will be sold by Trane by Trane Technologies as part of Trane’s Wellspher Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) solutions portfolio. enVerid’s ceiling-mounted HEPA air filtration units will be available from Trane^® starting immediately across the United States and Canada.

Trane’s Wellsphere initiative, a holistic approach to indoor environmental quality, takes a three-step approach to building wellness: Assess, Mitigate, and Manage. Trane IEQ experts provide commercial and institutional buildings with air quality assessments to better understand their needs. The assessment evaluates four key pillars of indoor air quality – Dilute, Exhaust, Contain and Clean – and equips building managers with a roadmap and solutions for HVAC improvements that will bring facilities into alignment with CDC and ASHRAE^® recommendations.

Trane will offer the enVerid Air Purifier as part of its portfolio of air cleaning solutions, adding a robust ceiling mounted, HEPA air filtration product to help capture contaminants such as certain virus-carrying bioaerosols, wildfire smoke, and other microscopic particulates at the source level. Experts agree that HEPA filtration is one of the most effective mitigation measures to slow the spread of COVID-19: according to the CDC, “HEPA filters are no less than 99.97% efficient at capturing human-generated viral particles associated with SARS-CoV-2.” Recent ASHRAE guidance also recommends the use of HEPA filters for wildfire smoke mitigation.

Ceiling-mounted HEPA filtration units are preferred by IAQ experts for COVID-19 transmission mitigation for a number of reasons, most importantly because they maximize air flow given their unobstructed location and optimized placement in the center of a room and because they are quieter to operate than most portable units.
