"From Fine Dust to Bacteria Removal: Hyundai Construction Develops Residential Ventilation System"

[Asia Economy Reporter Yuri Kim] Hyundai Engineering & Construction announced on the 16th that it has developed the world's first residential ventilation system that removes fine dust and includes sterilization functions. Hyundai Engineering & Construction will introduce the fine dust reduction total solution 'H Clean Alpha Plus (Clean α+)' incorporating this system to consumers.

Hyundai Engineering & Construction's patented air purification residential ventilation system not only removes fine dust but also features sterilization capabilities that eliminate volatile organic compounds (VOCs), formaldehyde, bacteria, viruses, and mold that cannot be removed by HEPA filters.

This enhances the fine dust total solution 'H Clean Alpha,' which was introduced last year and includes 'H Clean Entrance,' 'H i-Soup,' and harmful substance-absorbing wallpaper.

The H Clean Alpha Plus developed by Hyundai Engineering & Construction integrates the plasma function of air conditioners?whose equipment performance and energy-saving effects have been proven?with ventilation equipment for multi-family housing and ceiling-type air purifiers. It works by decomposing various airborne bacteria, viruses, and odors through chain reactions of hydroxide ions (OH-) and oxygen ions generated by plasma produced at room temperature by vacuum ultraviolet (VUV), ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI), and visible light (VR) wavelengths. It can remove volatile organic compounds (VOCs), formaldehyde, bacteria, and mold that cannot be eliminated by general filters including HEPA filters.

Hyundai Engineering & Construction also developed integrated hardware devices linking heat exchange ventilation equipment and ceiling-type air purifiers, sterilization devices utilizing room-temperature plasma technology, and an integrated controller with sensor units that automatically operate according to indoor and outdoor air quality measurements. Through indoor integrated sensor linkage, fine dust, carbon dioxide, and various harmful substances are automatically managed to maintain indoor air quality at an optimal level. IoT-linked control allows users to check and control indoor air quality status via mobile devices from anywhere.

A Hyundai Engineering & Construction official stated, "H Clean Alpha Plus has not only been patented but also received Korea's first PA (Pure Air) certification, proving its function as an air sterilizer. As consumer interest in ventilation equipment and filters has surged due to fine dust issues, we will continue to develop and apply various related technologies."

Hyundai Engineering & Construction recently proposed this technology for the Hannam Heights reconstruction and Hannam 3rd district redevelopment sites. It is also planned to be offered as a standard or paid option in upcoming D.H. and Hillstate complexes.
