GEZE and the challenge of avoiding the spread of Covid- 19 in buildings

The efficient ventilation of closed spaces inside a building has acquired vital importance in order to guarantee people’s health, helping to minimize the transmission and spread of the virus thanks to the renovation of the air and generating a healthy and innovative environment where the virus development is prevented.

When we renew the air we are not only evacuating potential harmful substances (viruses, odors, fumes, smoke, dust, high humidity) but we are also creating an environment that transmits security and confidence to the users.

For all of them, two of the main recommendations to prevent infection by coronavirus SARS-2 are:

  • Cleanliness and disinfection
  • Ventilation of closed spaces

How to resolve it?

The automatic control of air renovation in closed spaces.
The large width of the windows improves the visual quality of working spaces, places dedicated to rest and leisure, sanitary areas and residential buildings,- as providing natural light to closed spaces is more pleasant than artificial lighting. This must be accompanied by opening systems effortless for users when the windows are large and at the same time allow the safe renewal of air for the user of the space.

Thanks to GEZEs intelligent system for projecting and casement windows, it is possible to combine ventilation and safety automatically. The opening systems do not only open and close the window to ensure air renewal, they also also assume the function of blocking.

A healthy and preventive environment thanks to natural ventilation.
We have to guarantee an efficient renewal of air to minimize the transmission of the virus without forgetting the security and energy management aspects and the creation of a comfortable environmental climate. GEZE has units of ventilations control which are compatible with KNBX and BacNET and  provide different ventilation settings so that the natural prevention of the spread of the virus can be managed automatically and by this ensure a safe environment of users.
