STRINGENT HYGIENE PROCEDURES

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about a tough challenge for the entire economy, and amongst all the industries, travel and hospitality is by far the most impacted.

CLEAN INDOOR AIR QUALITY

In addition to health & safety protocols, we needed to maintain clean indoor air quality in our hotels. The standards established by the Indian Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers (ISHRAE) on how organisations can control the spread of COVID-19 in public areas have been implemented brilliantly.

The guidelines that were issued clearly suggested that building owners should increase the fresh air intake as much as possible which can allow increased usage of the Dedicated Outdoor Air System units. Keeping this in mind, we used technology to upgrade our existing filtration on Air Handling Units (AHUs) to MERV 13 or above and recommend UV lights to disinfect the coils.
