Description:
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency established the Environmental Technology Verification Program to accelerate the development and commercialization of improved environmental technology through third party verification and reporting of product performance. Research Triangle Institute will verify the filtration efficiency and bioaerosol inactivation efficiency of heating, ventilation and air conditioning air cleaners for culturable bioaerosol and aerosol challenges. The scope of this generic verification protocol (GVP) covers in-duct air cleaners based on filtration, ultraviolet (UV) illumination, photocatalytic oxidation (PCO) and combinations of those technologies. However, the focus is on filters. The GVP with test/quality assurance plan addendum for each specific technology can be used for UV, PCO and other technologies. It is anticipated that the test devices will be compatible with a nominal 24 in. by 24 in. test duct cross section.
