Problem
HVAC systems often struggle to maintain cleanroom-grade air quality in indoor environments, leading to mold buildup and reduced energy efficiency due to contaminated coils and ducts. Existing filtration solutions may not effectively eliminate pathogens and can be energy-intensive, increasing operational costs.
Solution
HiboCare offers HiboScreen, a patented electrostatic graphite screen that retrofits into existing HVAC systems to enhance air filtration and energy efficiency. HiboScreen actively charges particles, improving the capture rate of viruses, bacteria, and mold spores while preventing buildup on HVAC coils and ducts. By maintaining cleaner coils, the system reduces energy consumption by up to 30% and extends the lifespan of secondary filters. The technology enables facilities to achieve superior indoor air quality, meeting ISO7 cleanroom standards, while minimizing maintenance and operational expenses. HiboScreen provides a cost-effective and sustainable solution for improving air quality and reducing energy consumption in various indoor environments.
Target Audience
HiboCare targets hospitals, commercial offices, theaters, laboratories, and indoor agriculture facilities seeking to improve indoor air quality, reduce energy consumption, and minimize HVAC maintenance costs.
