HVAC vs HEPA-13 FILTERED AIR PURIFIERS - Steve Fontaine Weighs In

When it comes to maintaining clean indoor air, sometimes people make the mistake of comparing and trying to choose between HVAC systems and HEPA 13 filtered stand-alone air purifiers.

Boca Raton, United States - May 27, 2024 /Baden Bower/ —

When it comes to maintaining clean indoor air, sometimes people make the mistake of comparing and trying to choose between HVAC systems and HEPA 13 filtered stand-alone air purifiers. The fact of the matter is, they are two completely different systems that do two completely different things.

The Distinctions of HVAC and HEPA-13


While HVAC systems are primarily designed for temperature regulation and air circulation, even their highly respected MERV 13 filters are not effective at capturing micro-particles, including Covid-like particles, mold spores, viruses, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). 


In contrast, HEPA 13 filters can remove 99.99% of airborne pathogens down to 0.01 microns, making them highly efficient at improving indoor air quality. The best solution is to have an HVAC system that works correctly for temperature control and have a standalone HEPA air purifier in every room. 

An Industry Veteran Weighs In


Steve Fontaine has helped over 1.2 million classrooms choose the right air purifier to support better indoor air quality. Not only classrooms, but nursing homes, public buildings, offices, churches, dental offices, doctors, offices, and more benefit from standalone air purifiers to help with their indoor air quality using HEPA 13 filtered air purifiers to clean the air and make their environment safer.


In line with CDC recommendations for achieving five clean air deliveries per hour, it is important to note that even the best brand-new HVAC system may not effectively remove micro-particles.

HD Hyundai Heavy Industries wins contract for 500-MW offshore substation in Taean

HD Hyundai Heavy Industries has signed a contract to build an offshore substation for a wind farm in waters off Taean, South Chungcheong Province, as it expands its presence in the offshore wind market. The company announced on Friday that it recently signed a contract with Taean Wind Power to carry out the engineering, procurement, fabrication, installation and commissioning of an offshore substation for the wind farm. Taean Wind Power is a joint venture between Singapore-based renewable energy company Vena Energy, Danish investment and development firm Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) and state-run Korea Western Power. An offshore substation is a key facility that transmits electricity generated by turbines at an offshore wind farm to shore. The offshore substation to be built in Taean will step up the voltage of electricity generated by a 500-megawatt wind farm before transmitting the power to shore. HD Hyundai Heavy Industries secured the project through a series of agreements, signing a front-end engineering design contract in March, followed by a preferred supplier agreement

99.3% of soybeans imported from US test positive for genetic modification

Genetically modified organism (GMO) components were detected in 99.3 percent of U.S. soybean import cases tested over the past decade, trade data showed Friday, raising calls for Korea to diversify its soybean import sources. According to Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Corp. data submitted to Rep. Song Ok-joo of the Democratic Party of Korea, Korea imported 1.6 million tons of U.S. soybeans between 2017 and September 2026, accounting for 91.5 percent of its total soybean imports during the period. GMO components were detected in 399 of 402 U.S. soybean import cases, or 99.3 percent. Canadian soybeans were imported in 45 shipments totaling 29,469 tons, with GMO components detected in 57.8 percent of the cases. In contrast, no GMO components were detected in soybeans imported from China or Russia. Chinese soybeans totaled 112,124 tons in 18 shipments, accounting for 6.4 percent of total imports, while Russian soybeans totaled 7,870 tons across five shipments. The data came amid recent controversies over GMO detection in soybean-based foods such as tofu, soy milk and fermented soybean pa
