HEMCO, a laboratory equipment manufacturer, released its CleanAire II Ductless Hoods. The hood is designed to meet DH I requirements as defined by SEFA 9.

CleanAire II Ductless Hoods

The hood features:

  • a built-in carbon filtration system to adsorb non-toxic fumes and odors,
  • an integral blower,
  • a vapor proof light and;
  • fan and light switches.

The hood is made of fire-retardant fiberglass “with a molded one-piece seamless interior fume chamber.” The carbon filter adsorbs the fumes and then re-circulates the air back to the laboratory. It does not require duct or venting to outside.

The hood is available in 24”, 30”, 35”, and 47” models. The product is shipped completely assembled and ready for operation.

  • Designing the Bridge Between Inclusivity and Independence in K–12 Schools

    Fostering independence is fundamental to learning and development for K–12 students. It offers many proven benefits, such as enhanced confidence, problem-solving, decision-making, and social skills. However, this foundational objective loses its impact if it’s not accessible and adaptable to all students. Inclusivity plays a critical role in cultivating independence and healthy autonomy for students, fostering positive student learning outcomes by uniting pedagogy with the physical learning environment.

  • Year-Round Schools Require Year-Round Indoor Air Quality Planning

    While many schools are out for the summer, year-round schools follow a more “balanced” schedule with shorter, more frequent breaks spaced throughout the school year. Even though this offers educational benefits, these facilities have less downtime for building maintenance. This can become an issue when facilities managers overlook the importance of routine HVAC maintenance and air duct cleaning services.
