CLEAN AIR FOR SAFETY

FARNBOROUGH INERNATIONAL – VENTILATION SYSTEM

The Hall 1 ventilation system provides filtered air to each space even when all conditions are satisfied. All Function areas have CO2 sensors which will monitor air quality; the system will automatically increase the ventilation rate (air changes) should air quality drop below an unsatisfactory level. Increasing fresh air into the function spaces removes older stale air reducing the chance of spreading COVID-19.
