PROJECT PURPOSE

The Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Resilience Program? focuses on the prevention and mitigation of viruses like SARS-CoV-2 and other airborne contaminants, such as bacteria, mold, mildew, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), and ?Forever? chemicals (PFAS). These contaminants create susceptibility to COVID and other diseases and infections. The program concentrates on underserved and vulnerable populations and ventilation improvements, per recent WHO guidelines. The EPA and a recent Harvard study noted that some of the effects of poor IAQ include allergies, asthma, chronic inflammation, learning disabilities, and even cognitive decline. The IAQ Resilience Program delivers expert consultations based on floor plans, intended occupancy per room, and the existing ventilation system. Solutions are specifically designed for each space while offering an out-of-the-box system that is second to none. The program uses a hospital-grade, patented combination of HEPA filtration and UVC light, differentiating it from other air purifiers by capturing and killing all viruses, bacteria, VOCs, etc. Comprehensive data from independent laboratories (Eurofins/Oslo University Hospital) validates efficacy and safety, and Newsweek featured it as one of their ?Best Infection Prevention Products 2021.? We will stop the spread of COVID and other airborne infections if we clean the air we breathe.

POPULATION DESCRIPTION

Underserved and vulnerable populations have been disproportionately affected by SARS-CoV-2 in several ways. These populations may include the elderly and people of color, and those with underlying health conditions that make them more susceptible to infection. For example, vulnerability to infection could be because of allergies, asthma, cancer, lung disease, rheumatoid, heart disease, or any other issue affecting the immune system, which is more prevalent in underserved communities. The air carries bacteria, viruses, mold spores, smoke, exhaust fumes, and so much more, which makes us a moving target for pandemics, especially those in underserved and vulnerable populations. For example, nursing homes for the elderly and those recovering from serious injuries were overrun with infections. And, lockdowns from all human contact with loved ones became necessary, which increased stress and ultimately caused extreme depression, anxiety, and loneliness. Imagine what this could do for hospitals, nursing homes, doctor?s offices, etc. Pandemics do not need to control our lives. If we clean the air we breathe, we are less likely to get sick. Breathing cleaner, less toxin-filled air means fewer allergies, reduced sick days, and a return to economic growth and public health while mitigating COVID.

PERFORMANCE MEASURING

The process for measuring project performance is not limited to Trello, Online Project Management and Team Collaboration Platform, Online Client Database Management System with Client, Administrator, Sales/Service sign-in access, Encrypted Cloud Document Storage (Backup), Offsite Document Storage (Backup ? no internet access), Weekly Team Meetings, Sales/Marketing Goals, etc. Included, the flowchart is an example of the tracking mechanisms from initial fund deposit to each subaccount per project/client. The ARPA funds will reside in the main operating account. Sub-accounts are used for each company division, and each client will have a Project file, including a sub-account when ARPA funds are utilized.
