The science of optimising asset performance and maximising productivity

• • 99.994% of airborne viruses eradicated

• • Almost 600 units deployed

• • BS EN 62471:2008 accredited

• • Improved building user confidence

As Britain got back to business following multiple lockdowns, organisations knew they had to reassure employees, clients and guests that they were doing all they could to provide safe environments.

Throughout offices, airports, shopping centres and elsewhere, viruses and harmful bacteria are just some of the agents known to circulate.

In addition to Government clean air intake and building air quality legislation, wellbeing, productivity, staff attraction and footfall must be considered if building users really are to breathe easier and with confidence.

With this in mind, Mitie set out to implement a comprehensive air-quality solution.

Putting people and clients first, Mitie offers an exclusive suite of products, meticulous cleaning, and intuitive remote monitoring and workplace solutions to create safe, enhanced work environments.

Easily installed UVC air disinfection technology creates safe environments at the speed of light

Mitie partnered with Luxibel, a global provider of UVC Air Disinfection Systems to deliver UVC disinfection technology. UVC has been scientifically proven to eradicate 99.999% of airborne viruses and its efficacy at disinfecting air and surfaces has been acknowledged by the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers and the Health and Safety Executive.

Visibility of the solution was seen as an essential part of providing reassurance and confidence that appropriate safety measures were in place. Building audits identified the requirements for each client’s spaces and the devices were installed quickly with minimal disruption.

Clients report that the presence of the units has helped to build colleague and customer confidence. They are cost-effective too; minimal maintenance includes a six-monthly filter check by on-site maintenance teams.

The UVC units complement Mitie’s Connected Workspace technology, through which air is consistently monitored for levels of CO2, humidity and temperature. Adjustments are made to optimise building user comfort and productivity accordingly. By linking to Mitie’s 24/7 Technical Services Operations Centre, faults and issues can be diagnosed remotely, ensuring maximum uptime.

By combining the UVC units’ functionality with revised and enhanced cleaning regimes, Mitie supported customers to provide appropriate reassurance that it was safe for Britain to go back to work.
