Early Learning Center Safeguards Classrooms with Medical-Grade HEPA Air Purifiers

In-space, supplemental HEPA purification is a COVID-19 mitigation strategy recommended by the CDC and ASHRAE to help protect children and staff in schools and child care centers like Loving Shepherd Early Learning Center.

Loving Shepherd Early Learning Center in Golden Valley, Minn. recently ensured each classroom receives clean, sanitized air as part of its proactive approach to indoor air quality. From infant rooms to pre-K classrooms, children, teachers, and staff are now protected with ISO-Aire air purifiers engineered with medical-grade HEPA filtration and ozone-free bipolar ionization to capture and destroy 99.99% of germs and indoor air pollutants.

According to Brenda Lovhaug, director, the goal was to create a safe, healthy space for their community.

Scot Jennings, ISO-Aire project manager, reviews ISO-Aire operations and maintenance steps with Brenda and Laura from Loving Shepherd Early Learning Center.

"Operating during COVID-19, we wanted to provide the safest environment possible for children, families, teachers, and staff," Brenda explained. "We researched and gathered a couple bids, but ended up feeling good with the hands on approach from Scot at ISO-Aire. He assessed our space and made a recommendation based on our specific needs. We appreciate the time, effort and expertise he offered and know we can contact him directly with any future questions."

Loving Shepherd has been an integral part of the Golden Valley community for decades, offering both child care and after-school programs for neighborhood families. However during the pandemic, Brenda explained, the focus shifted to child care only and the center restructured its space to allow for smaller class sizes. Loving Shepherd installed 10 commercial-grade RSF300 units engineered with two layers of unmatched medical-grade filtration to capture and destroy 99.99% of viruses and emerging variants, bacteria, and microscopic contaminants such as mold, pollen, dust, and VOCs.

Guidance from both the CDC and ASHRAE recommend in-space, supplemental HEPA filtration in schools and child care centers to protect against transmission of SARS-CoV-2 and other airborne pathogens.
