Family-Owned Business Prioritizes Employee Comfort and Safety with IAQ Upgrades
“We've been happy with our purchase and the service we received. Indoor air quality is an investment in our employees and in our business to help create a more comfortable workspace,” said Gabe Weschcke, Vice President, Llewellyn.
When welcoming employees back to their headquarter offices after a state mandated COVID-19 closure, Llewellyn owners paused to gather input and ideas. According to Gabe Weschcke, Llewellyn publishing vice president, leadership wanted to make sure everyone felt comfortable returning to an in-person workspace.
"One topic of discussion was indoor air quality," Gabe explained. "We had upgraded our building HVAC system a year ago, but there was still concern about the air in certain spaces such as the cafeteria, restrooms, and conference room. We care about our employees, and when we were talking about best ways to transition back to the office, we wanted to understand what would help and what would make our team more comfortable and keep everyone safe."
Llewellyn is the world's oldest and largest independent publisher of books for mind, body and spirit with 75 employees officing out of Woodbury, Minn. After hearing first-hand feedback, Gabe began researching portable air purifiers and contacted ISO-Aire for information and a workspace assessment. Loaner RSF series demo units were installed for several weeks, and in the end, Gabe felt ISO-Aire would be effective in adding a layer of indoor air quality protection. He also appreciated the low-maintenance, quiet operation, and portability of the medical-grade HEPA purifiers.
Aerosolized droplet nuclei are pushed away from the source and pulled into the ISO-Aire commercial air purifier where they are captured and destroyed with medical-grade HEPA filtration. Models also can be engineered with optional ozone-free bipolar ionization and/or UVC sterilization.
"There has been a lot of excitement with our investment in creating a better indoor environment, not only to protect our team from COVID but also cold and flu germs, as well as allergens like dust and mold," Gabe explained. "I feel the air is cleaner and the units help insure we all feel comfortable and safe."
Manufactured in St. Paul, Minn., ISO-Aire elite commercial air purifiers capture and destroy up to 99.99% of airborne pathogens and harmful contaminants. Our units are a CDC and ASHRAE recommended COVID mitigation strategy and are in place protecting workspaces and classrooms nationwide.
