We have enhanced our HVAC filtration systems with Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV) 13 filters that meet standards set forth by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). We have installed Bi-Polar Ionizers in our HVAC units to maximize air purification and quality during circulation.
