How does CleanLight stand up to the current CIBSE Guidelines for air cleaner specification?

We worked through the current guidance from CIBSE (The Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers) to see if our CleanLight solution stands up to their rigorous specification criteria.

And the answer is IT DOES!

COVID-19: Air cleaning technologies allows users to assess the variety of air cleaning devices currently marketed for the removal of SARS-CoV-2, and to discover which air cleaner, if any, will effectively reduce transmission risk in a given space.

This guidance will be of use to lay-readers, and also to those requiring a detailed background of air flow performance metrics, pollutant and viral decay, and tools assessing the performance of air cleaners in context.
