[Asia Economy Reporter Chunhee Lee] SK Engineering & Construction announced on the 8th that it has developed Korea's first sterilizing ventilation system by adding a sterilizing function to household ventilation devices.

To discharge contaminated air inside households to the outside and supply clean air, SK Engineering & Construction began applying the 'Clean Air Solution' to ventilation devices in each SK View household since last year. This time, they developed the 'Clean Air Solution 2.0 Sterilizing Ventilation System' equipped with a sterilizing function by applying a UV LED module and have completed the patent application.

The newly developed Clean Air Solution 2.0 Sterilizing Ventilation System combines a HEPA filter, which can remove 99.95% of ultrafine dust in the air, with a UV LED module for sterilization.

The UV LED emits light in the short wavelength range below 400nm, irradiating light of different wavelengths to destroy the DNA and cell walls of bacteria and viruses, while volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and odors are removed through photocatalytic reactions, thereby performing sterilization. Tests conducted by an accredited testing agency on Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and mold confirmed a 99.99% sterilization effect.

SK Engineering & Construction plans to selectively apply this system to the SK View complexes scheduled for sale and the knowledge industry center SK V1 to help residents manage their respiratory health.

Jeon Seung-tae, head of the Architecture and Housing Business Division at SK Engineering & Construction, said, "SK Engineering & Construction will provide clean indoor air in residential and office spaces to improve quality of life," adding, "We will continue to strive to create social value by considering solutions to social issues such as fine dust and applying them to our products."
