Abstract: A method for purifying air within a space is provided. The method includes a controller determining whether an ON signal is received. Upon determining that the ON signal is received, the controller instructs an air sanitizer of an air sanitization system to turn ON to purify an airflow passing through the air sanitization system, and instructs an air movement fan/blower to operate in order to direct the airflow into the space. Upon determining that the ON signal is not received, the controller instructs the air movement fan/blower and the air sanitizer to be OFF.

Abstract: Methods and systems described perform air cleaning and/or sanitization in a heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and/or refrigeration (HVACR) system by detecting a concentration of airborne contaminants in a space serviced by the HVACR system. The detected concentration of airborne contaminants is determined whether it exceeds a threshold relative to a capacity of a first air cleaner. When the detected concentration of airborne contaminants exceeds the threshold, a second air cleaner is selected and enabled to be activated in the space. When the detected concentration of airborne contaminants does not exceed the threshold, the first air cleaner is selected and enabled to be activated in the space. The first air cleaner has a cleaning material different from the second air cleaner, and the first air cleaner, relative to the second air cleaner, treats the space at a lower concentration of airborne contaminants. The second air cleaner includes specifically designed cleaner modules.

Abstract: A contaminant-risk analysis device generates a CAD model of a defined space based on received parameters, simulates a contaminant spread model relative to the CAD model, generates a contaminant risk assessment for the defined space based on the contaminant spread model being applied to the CAD model, and generates a revised CAD model of the defined space based on the generated contaminant risk assessment.

Abstract: An indoor air quality (IAQ) control system for a heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and Refrigeration (HVACR) system including an IAQ monitor that collects air quality data from an air quality sensor of an air quality-controlled space; a controller that manages a remediation device of the air quality-controlled space; and an IAQ management server that generates a biological pollutant estimate based on the air quality data using an algorithm that correlates the air quality data to the biological pollutant estimate, and generates a remediation recommendation. Additionally, a control method includes collecting air quality data from an air quality sensor of an air quality-controlled space using an IAQ monitor; managing a remediation device of the air quality-controlled space using a controller; generating a biological pollutant estimate based on the air quality data using an algorithm that correlates the air quality data to the biological pollutant estimate; and generating a remediation recommendation.
