As a result, you’ll find more Dynamic Air Cleaners in casinos than any other high efficiency air cleaners. Dynamic Air Cleaners remove dangerous airborne particles that other air cleaning systems miss…including odors, VOCs, smoke, bacteria, allergens, fine dust, molds and pollen…without producing any harmful ozone.

Dynamic Air Cleaners are found around the world in many types of gaming environments including land-based casinos, riverboats, and racetracks. Benefits to operators include:

• Reduction of smoke and odors
• Appeal to non-smoking clients
• Ability to clear "cigar haze"
• Improving customer loyalty and retention rates

IAQ should be part of every casino operators marketing plans, and Dynamic Air Quality Solutions has the products that have proven again and again to be the most effective in casino environments. Some of those enjoying better IAQ with lower operating costs include:

Green Buildings        

LEED, or Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design, is a program developed by the U.S. Green Building Council. Dynamic Air Quality Solutions, as Environmental Dynamics Group, is proud to be a member of the U.S. Green Building Council. The LEED program was created to:

1.Define “green building” by establishing a common standard of measurement
2.Promote integrated, whole-building design practices
3.Recognize environmental leadership in the building industry
4.Stimulate green competition
5.Raise consumer awareness of green building benefits
6.Transform the building market

LEED emphasizes state-of-the-art strategies for sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection and indoor environmental quality. And LEED recognizes achievements and promotes expertise in green buildings through a comprehensive system offering project certification, professional accreditation, training and practical resources.

Products like the new “Dynamic V8” were designed to meet the rigorous LEED requirements as set forth by the U.S. Green Building Council without making it cost prohibitive to “Go Green.”

The Dynamic V8 significantly reduces the energy and environmental footprint of an HVAC system’s filtration system. Although LEED certification is based on individual projects, the Dynamic V8 will help meet criteria in the following categories:

1. Energy & Atmosphere

Optimize Energy Performance (Multiple pts)

Substantial reduction in static pressure drop over high efficiency passive filters, allows for reduction in fan horsepower, and significant ongoing energy savings.

2. Materials & Resources

Construction Waste Management (1 pt)

Dynamic V8 media is made from recyclable materials and may be considered recyclable depending on materials being filtered and local ordinances. Dynamic media reduces occupies less space in landfills versus bag, cartridge or rigid box filters. And because the V8 holds many times the dust load of passive filters, media change-outs will be far less frequent, further reducing waste.

3. Indoor Environmental Quality

Construction IAQ Management Plan (1 pt)

The V8 meets the requirement for the installation of a MERV 13 filter prior to occupancy and will last far longer than passive alternatives with far lower operational costs.

Additional information about LEED is available from the Green Building Council website at www.usgbc.org.

Education

The grades are in: a 2006 national report, Greening America’s Schools, concluded that environmentally friendly school buildings lead to lower operating costs, improved test scores, and enhanced student health. The report, produced by Capital E and co-sponsored by The American Institute of Architects (AIA), concluded that environmentally friendly schools save an average of $100,000 each year. The study examined 30 green schools built between 2001 and 2006, and determined that the total financial benefits of green schools are 20 times greater than their initial cost difference. Measurable benefits include energy and water savings, improved student health and higher test scores.

“This study underscores the enormous cost of poor design and the critical impact that good design and operation has on the quality of our children’s education,” said AIA resident Kate Schwennsen. “The findings indicate that there are tremendous benefits from energy efficient school design, not only from an economic standpoint, but also from improved test scores and far healthier environments through improved air quality.”
Among the study’s conclusions:

• On average, green schools use 33% less energy and 32% less water.
• Green schools typically have better lighting and indoor air quality, which contribute to fewer sick days.
• A study of Chicago and Washington D.C. schools concluded that better facilities could add 3 to 4 percentage points to a school’s standardized test scores.

Where could it be more important to have cleaner air than in our schools? The key to cleaner, healthier air is as simple as A-B-C. Removing the harmful particles and chemicals from the air we breathe provides:

High Efficiency Air Cleaning – Dynamic Air Cleaners remove dangerous airborne particles that other air cleaning systems miss…including odors, VOCs, smoke, bacteria, allergens, fine dust, molds and pollen…without producing any harmful ozone.

Increased Attendance – Studies document the correlation in the reduction of absenteeism to cleaner air in schools [Pennsylvania grade school – 46% reduction in absenteeism].

Lower Energy Costs - The conventional approach to air quality in schools, as specified in ASHRAE Ventilation Standard 62, is to introduce fresh, outside air, to dilute contaminants. The amount of outside air depends on the number building occupants. Most school HVAC systems are designed for 15 CFM per person. This can be costly, in terms of conditioning outside air, and sometimes ineffective, when the outside air is polluted. Cleaning the air, rather than diluting it, can save energy…and money. With Dynamic Air Cleaners, outside air requirements can be cut in half…or even to a third - under the guidelines of ASHRAE Standard 62 IAQ Procedures. And Dynamic Air Cleaners have lower static pressures than other high efficiency air cleaners.

Ease of Maintenance - Dynamic Air Cleaner media pads last longer than conventional passive filtration; extending change-out intervals, and saving labor costs. Maintenance personnel like Dynamic media pads because they are lighter and less bulky than bag or cartridge filters, and are easier to handle. And Dynamic Air Cleaners protect the HVAC equipment by eliminating particles upstream of the coil.

Versatility – No other air cleaners offer the same versatility when it comes to application in the types of HVAC equipment used most frequently in schools. Dynamic Air Cleaners can be applied to: packaged terminal units, unit ventilators, rooftop units, water-source heat pumps, and large custom air handling units.

Mold Prevention - Dynamic Air Cleaners reduce the risk of potential mold problems by removing mold spores from the air stream, as well as sub-micron particles, which can provide a food source for mold growth. And Dynamic Air Cleaners help stop the spread of airborne bacteria.

Dynamic Air Cleaners provide a performance-based specification that allows CosaTron, Bio-climatic, and other commercial air cleaning systems to be used as approved equals.

And some states, such as North Carolina, cover up to 100% of the capital equipment cost for any equipment used in schools and universities that provide energy savings within specified payback periods. The payback period in North Carolina, for example, is seven years.

The net savings on using Dynamic Air Cleaners can often generate a return on investment of three to five years.

Government

Dynamic Air Quality Solutions has been part of many U.S. Federal Government projects including the Securities and Exchange Commission and the anthrax clean-up effort at the Brentwood Post Office in Washington D.C. Dynamic Air Cleaners have also been used in several applications on U.S. military bases and in other buildings controlled by the U.S. General Services Administration.

Just as in the private sector, key issues on government jobs are:

High Efficiency Air Cleaning – Dynamic Air Cleaners remove dangerous airborne particles that other air cleaning systems miss…including odors, VOCs, smoke, bacteria, allergens, fine dust, molds and pollen…without producing any harmful ozone. When properly applied Dynamic Air Cleaners can have a significant impact on removing odors from outside air as the air comes through the ventilation system.

Lower Operational Costs - Studies show that 92% of the cost of filtration is something other than the media, including energy (fan horsepower to push the air through the filter), labor to change the media and costs of disposal. Dynamic Air Cleaners can have a significant impact on reducing these costs as compared to bag and cartridge filters. Dynamic V-bank air cleaners can last up to 7 times longer than comparable cartridge filters and can cut down the mid-life static pressure by as much as 1.5” which saves significantly on the horsepower required for specific air handler.

Reduced Ventilation Air Costs - The conventional approach to ventilation air, as specified in ASHRAE Ventilation Standard 62, is to introduce fresh, outside air, to dilute contaminants. The amount of outside air depends on the number building occupants. Most school HVAC systems are designed for 15 CFM per person. This can be costly, in terms of conditioning outside air, and sometimes ineffective, when the outside air is polluted. Cleaning the air, rather than diluting it, can save energy…and money. With Dynamic Air Cleaners, outside air requirements can be cut in half…or even to a third - under the guidelines of ASHRAE Standard 62 IAQ Procedures. And Dynamic Air Cleaners have lower static pressures than other high efficiency air cleaners.

The net savings on using Dynamic Air Cleaners can often generate a return on investment of two to four years.

Clean Manufacturing / Pharmaceuticals

Dynamic Air Cleaners have been used in clean room manufacturing operations to remove dangerous airborne particles that other air cleaning systems miss…including odors, VOCs, smoke, bacteria, allergens, fine dust, molds and pollen…without producing any harmful ozone. When properly applied, Dynamic Air Cleaners can have a significant impact on removing odors from outside air as the air comes through the ventilation system.

Studies show that 92% of the cost of filtration is something other than the media cost, including energy (fan horsepower to push the air through the filter), labor to change the media and costs of disposal.

Dynamic V-bank air cleaners can last up to 7 times longer than comparable cartridge filters and can cut down the mid-life static pressure by as much as 1.5” which saves significantly on the horsepower required for specific air handler.

Dynamic Air Cleaners can often generate a return on investment in clean room applications in three to five years.

Medical / Hospitals

Indoor Air Quality is an important ongoing issue for hospitals and medical care facilities. Airborne bacteria and pathogens can shed into the air stream from conventional filters and spread infections through the HVAC system. The Dynamic Sterile Sweep™ Germicidal System is mounted in front of Dynamic V-bank air cleaners where to these bacteria can be captured and deactivated so they will no longer be able to harm people.

Dynamic V-banks can replace 85% and 95% bag and cartridge filters in patient areas and can be a significant improvement as pre-filters to HEPA filtration in surgical areas.

Dynamic wall-mounted germicidal units help reduce the risk of disease being spread in infectious disease wards.

Hospitality / Lodging / Bars & Restaurants

Although the first emphasis on air quality in the hospitality industry was based on controlling tobacco smoke, more and more operators are looking at air quality as a means of differentiating themselves from their competition. National hotel companies are investigating IAQ initiatives for allergy-free guest rooms. As awareness grows and people improve the quality of air at home, they also desire and expect it when they are away from home. Dynamic Air Cleaners remove dangerous airborne particles that other air cleaning systems miss…including odors, VOCs, smoke, bacteria, allergens, fine dust, molds and pollen…without producing any harmful ozone. Dynamic Air Cleaners are found around the world as a result of superior performance in:

• Reduction of smoke and odors
• Appeal to non-smoking clients
• Ability to clear "cigar haze"
• Improving customer loyalty and retention rates

According to Ray Murphy, Executive Director of Facilities and Construction for Las Vegas Hilton, “In a room with low ceilings and heavy smokers an installation of more than four years makes the air crystal clear.  Good design (rated airflow and face area are very important to obtain high performance) and installation are the keys.  The maintenance required is less than conventional bag filters and the maintenance access is better. Pre-filters get changed less often.”

Dynamic Air Quality Solutions offers products that have proven their effectiveness in hotel rooms, bars, restaurants, country clubs, lobbies and public areas. Just a few of those enjoying better IAQ with lower operating costs include:

Lockhaven Country Club
Vanderbilt Country Club
Huddle House Restaurants
Sam Buca Restaurants

Nursing Homes / Assisted Care Facilities

Dynamic Air Cleaners remove dangerous airborne particles that other air cleaning systems miss…including odors, VOCs, smoke, bacteria, allergens, fine dust, molds and pollen…without producing any harmful ozone.

Indoor Air quality is an important issue in today’s long term care facilities. Keeping the air free from odors and preventing the spread of airborne pathogens is vital and can be accomplished by using Dynamic Air Cleaners. 1” panels, 2” panels or V-Bank systems can be installed in unit ventilators, fan coils, split systems, custom air handlers, or standard rooftop units.

At the Ohio Veterans Home, a 650-bed facility in Sandusky, Ohio, Dynamic Air Cleaners keep interior smoking rooms clear, with no residual smoke odor. And Dynamic Air Cleaners on two air handlers serving about 20,000 square feet eradicated a urine odor that had been around for as long as anyone could remember.

In open wound wards, the addition of the Dynamic Sterile Sweep™ UV system provides another level of safety. Airborne biological pathogens are trapped and the UV light alters the pathogen DNA so that pathogens can no longer grow or reproduce. Application flexibility allows these systems to be installed centrally, or in individual resident rooms.

Whatever the air delivery system, Dynamic Air Cleaners can add important protection for the elderly and those with compromised immune systems, asthma and allergies.

Transportation

Dynamic 1” Polarized-Media Air Cleaners have been installed in mobile refrigeration units and have significantly improved air quality in buses and trains.

In refrigerated transports, improved air quality translates to longer stock life for perishable produce, which means big savings and reduced spoilage.

And Dynamic Air Cleaners have been used since 2002 on passenger transit system buses in Mexico City to control tobacco smoke.

Sports Facilities

For cleaner air in health clubs, gymnasiums, arenas and stadiums, Dynamic Air Cleaners are proven winners.

Dynamic Air Cleaners can be found at the UNI-Dome, home of the University Of Northern Iowa basketball and football programs. In a recent IAQ upgrade to reduce the ventilation air into the building, which was constructed in 1976, Cosatini Engineering (Chicago) used the Ashrae 62 IAQ procedure to calculate a reduction of outside air needed in the facility. The original plan was to use 95% cartridge filters with a bank of carbon to meet Standard 62 requirements. Dynamic V-Banks were used in place of the passive cartridge filters in two 125,000 cfm air handlers. By using Dynamic V-Banks instead of the passive filtration system, the horsepower was reduced enough to enable the contractor to reuse the existing lower capacity fans which saved money on the capital investment. Added benefits included the increased life of Dynamic media over the passive cartridge filters and carbon filters, reduced energy costs to power the air handlers, longer maintenance intervals and subsequent lower labor costs, as well as smaller, lighter replacement media that was easier to handle and store.
