Covid19 and School: why invest in VMC systems?

If you are also among the parents who live daily with the worry of sending their children to school, where “changing the air” means keeping the windows open for hours, despite the winter temperatures and despite air pollution is now a dominant component of the air we breathe, then you will be interested to read the following…

Controlled Mechanical Ventilation (VMC) systems are able to ensure a constant and effective recirculation of air: the filters contained in the device purify the external air from pollutants before entering the room; at the same time, the internal one rich in carbon dioxide and other microorganisms is aspirated and conducted externally. This process is automatic and, if applied in schools, would have a series of advantages: first of all, it would not affect the normal course of school activity and would allow the presence of more students per class; finally, the spread of viruses, like flu, would be drastically reduced.

Therfore, to invest in VMC systems is useful not only in this particular moment of health emergency, but also in the future in order to guarantee the maintenance of air health that children and guys breathe at school. In addition, thanks to this systems, will be possible respect the requirements of school buildings standard on air exchange.

Purchasing mechanical ventilation systems to equip an entire school is an important step toward reducing wastefulness and energy costs generated by opening windows. A VMC system is in fact able to preheat the cold air being introduced thanks to the heat exchanger, managing to recover up to 80% of the heat contained in the outgoing air and using it to warm the incoming one. Also, remind the principals of your reference institutes that, as they fall under interventions that increase the energy efficiency of a building, it will be possible to purchase VMC systems by including them in a renovation project and take advantage of the 50% bonus, or they can be associated with one of the driving interventions covered by the 110% Super Bonus.

Do you agree with us that investing in the welfare of the younger generations must be the priority of this historical period?
