Carrier honored for transforming the future of healthy
buildings through innovative solutions, services and
research
PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla.,
Oct. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/
-- Carrier Global Corporation, (NYSE: CARR) the leading global
provider of healthy, safe, sustainable and intelligent building and
cold chain solutions, today announced it has been named to the 2021
Fortune Change the World list. The list is a global ranking of 50
companies meeting society's greatest challenges through
transformational business initiatives. As the COVID-19 pandemic
increased focus on the health and safety of building occupants
around the world, Carrier introduced its Healthy Buildings
Program, a suite of innovative programs and solutions
delivering healthy indoor environments, positively impacting
people and the planet. From spreading awareness of the most
fundamental elements of safety and security to supporting research
on the cognitive and health benefits of improved air quality and
ventilation, Carrier is leading the way to help people think
differently about the importance of indoor environments.
With most people spending approximately 90% of their time
indoors, the health of a building has a direct impact on the people
inside. Carrier's Healthy Buildings Program addresses every aspect
of a building's needs and long-term lifecycle, from initial
assessment through ongoing management, ensuring the critical
imperative of healthy buildings and indoor environments, now and in
the future.
A key program technology is the OptiClean™ Dual-Mode Air
Scrubber & Negative Air Machine, which cleans and removes air
potentially contaminated by COVID-19. OptiClean units are being
used in thousands of classrooms across the U.S. to help improve
indoor air quality.
Carrier also launched Abound in 2021, an IoT platform that helps
building owners and operators monitor and manage real time indoor
air quality metrics, which helps people feel more confident
reentering public spaces. Abound is being piloted in commercial
offices, education, and sports and entertainment venues – including
Truist Park, home of the Atlanta Braves. It is also operating at
Carrier's world headquarters and building technology showcase, the
Center for Intelligent Buildings, in Palm
Beach Gardens, Florida.
In addition, Carrier continues to support important research on
the impact of indoor air quality on how people think and feel.
Research conducted by the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health
and funded by Carrier, found better thinking and better health can
be found inside healthier buildings. Known collectively as the
COGfx Studies, the three separate but coordinated studies have
shown the connection between better indoor air quality and better
cognitive function. The latest study measured cognitive function of
office workers in six different countries – China, India,
Mexico, Thailand, the United
Kingdom and the United
States – and found that with the right strategies in place,
buildings can play a significant role in improving cognitive
function, health and productivity, while delivering bottom line
benefits to businesses and health benefits to society.
