Do your HVAC systems use 100% outside air?
bradyg@cuc.claremont.edu2025-03-13T14:29:22-07:00We attempt to use outside air whenever possible but outside air (up to 100%) is supplied based on varying factors like building duct pressure, flow and temperatures needs. Note: All air regardless of whether it is outside or return air is always cycled back through the main MERV13 filters before it is supplied to the building.
How often do you change filters?
bradyg@cuc.claremont.edu2025-03-13T14:28:49-07:00Filters are scheduled quarterly and placed on a Preventive Maintenance schedule.
What kind of filters do we use?
bradyg@cuc.claremont.edu2025-03-13T14:28:25-07:00HVAC systems were upgraded in 2020 to MERV13 filters. These filters are capable of catching virus size particles (including COVID-19).
