Objectives

Nurses in Houston area school districts all have the common problem of being consistently exposed to various pathogens. They are always seeking solutions to reduce the spread of illness, particularly to staff and other students.

Solutions

Depending on the school district’s needs and budget, they used illumiPure devices to reduce th spread of illness including illumiPure CleanWhite® LED lighting fixutres, Air Guardian air purification system, and CleanWhite® Plus dual-disinfection units.

This case study covers 3 schools districts and appoximately two dozen nurses’ stations.

Improved Outcomes

Near Zero Sick Day Usage

80% of interviewed nurses claimed since the installation of the illumiPure Healthy Buildings Suite they have not used any time off for illness.

Air Quality

Monitored nurses stations have all reported improved air quality. These are subjective and a pre/post assessment was not conducted.

Quality of Life

Nurses reported an increase of days off being used for non- illness purposes, such as vacations or childcare, and stated that is a significant improvement over using all vacation time for illness.

“Our goal in purchasing CleanWhite® LEDs was to come up with a disinfection solution that wouldn’t break the bank, both initial and on-going cost. We’ve had fixtures installed for six years now, and they all are operating at high efficiency and our nurses are healthier than ever.”
