How it was done.

  1. Identify

    Personnel air-quality complaints and a musty mold smell in coastal modular HVAC units — conditions in which the manufacturer warns against operation.

  2. Apply

    A Cognituv FreshFilter system integrated into the mobile exterior Bard HVAC units for continuous coil and air treatment.

  3. Verify

    Zero air-quality complaints in the 18 months since installation; the facilities engineer reports confidence in keeping DoD operations open longer.
