Objectives
The West Chase Houston Hospital desired to improve air quality and reduce the air and surface pathogens in its hospital, while objectively measuring improvements and conditions for their staff and patients.
Solutions
The West Case Houston Hospital engaged the illumiPure Healthy Buildings Suite, including CleanWhite® LED lighting fixtures, Air Guardian air purification systems, and Vertices AQS, to monitor and automatically manage disinfection systems.
These systems were deployed in patient rooms, nurses’ stations, and the nursing hallway.
Improved Outcomes
Luminescence
The CleanWhite® LEDs improved overall luminescence approximately 30% from previous LED solutions
Staff Satisfaction
By removing the harmful blue light found in all other LEDs, CleanWhite® LEDs have improved sleep time and quality for nurses and associated employees.
Air Quality
CleanWhite® LEDs and Air Guardian air purification systems have reduced pathogen and particulate levels by 15% and eliminate most new exposures in minutes.
Headaches
Both staff and patients have reported less headaches due to the elimination of blue light in CleanWhite® LEDs.
