Solution: “One call to BPE, and I was able to get permit approval,” says Sam. BPE determined that the salon required approximately 900 cfm of air exchange. Consequently, he recommended the BPE-XE-MIR-1000 energy recovery ventilator (ERV) for providing enough outdoor air. The unit was set up in the cellar.
Anyone who has experienced a keratin hair treatment knows the chemicals can smell terrible and cause headaches, dizziness, and breathing problems. The process was the perfect test for superior air exchange.
Everyone was surprised with the results. “When the unit is on, there are no remnants of smell, and it happens almost instantaneously,” says Sam.
With the addition of an easy-to-use set of controls for adjusting air flow and temperature, this beauty salon is all set to welcome clientele. Not only can they offer a relaxing experience without fumes, but the air displacement also reduces the threat of virus in the air. One high-performance ERV allows Grateful Heads to meet and exceed ASHRAE Standard 62.1 Ventilation Rates for Acceptable indoor air quality.
