While reducing outdoor air pollution has long been at the forefront in China, improving indoor air quality is now garnering more attention. To help improve its indoor air quality, LIVAT Centre Wuhan, which is affiliated with IKEA Group, selected Carrier China to provide a robust set of solutions including new air conditioning units, airside equipment cleaning and renovation, as well as chiller maintenance that helped to create a cleaner and healthier indoor shopping environment.
LIVAT Centre Wuhan turned to Carrier for solutions to address indoor air quality related to fine particulate matter, inhalable particles with diameters of 2.5 micrometers or smaller (PM2.5). After proper assessment, Carrier replaced G4 primary efficiency filters and F9 medium efficiency filters, which improved the efficiency of the air conditioning systems by 50 per cent to 70 per cent. And according to the collected statistics, Carrier managed to sharply reduce the index of indoor PM2.5 to an excellent level of 10 to 30 μg/m3, while the outdoor density of PM2.5 was as high as 195 μg/m3, at a severe pollution level. “Over three years, Carrier has worked side by side with LIVAT Centre Wuhan to help create an improved indoor environment. The airside renovation project demonstrates the customer’s trust in Carrier and our innovative solutions. We hope that this project success will shed a light on the importance of making improvements to the built environment and prompt more building owners and operators to optimise the indoor air quality,” said Yin Hui, Regional Manager of Service in Wuhan, Carrier China.
