Washington, DC, April 13, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — To help increase protections against pathogens and viruses, Monumental Sports & Entertainment announced today that it has installed state-of-the-art air sanitizing ceiling troffers in key locations for athletes and other performers inside Capital One Arena. Called Healthe AIR\u2122, these troffers provide continuous sanitization to improve air quality in occupied indoor spaces by combining the germicidal properties of ultraviolet light and carbon activated filtration. This emerging technology was developed by Melbourne, Florida based Healthe, Inc.<\/p>\n

Capital One Arena, a premier indoor 20,000-seat sports and entertainment venuelocated in Washington, D.C., is home to the NBA\u2019s Washington Wizards, the NHL\u2019s 2018 Stanley Cup Champion Washington Capitals and the NCAA\u2019s Georgetown Hoyas men\u2019s basketball team.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn order to maximize the risk mitigation of our operations we needed another strong layer of protection against airborne viruses, and one that can specifically provide air sanitization in enclosed spaces,\u201d said Jordan Silberman, VP of Operations and Assistant GM at Capital One Arena. \u201cHealthe\u2019s technology will not only keep athletes and entertainment artists safe but will also help us take one step closer to normal operations in the near future.\u201d<\/p>\n

Monumental has installed 47 AIR ceiling troffers in both the home and visiting team locker and training rooms as well as the family and player lounges. AIR combines the germicidal properties of ultraviolet light and carbon activated filtration to improve air quality in indoor spaces. A quiet, high performance fan draws air through a HEPA\/carbon filter and into a sanitization chamber where UVC LEDs target and inactivate remaining pathogens.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince the onset of the pandemic, Healthe has been working to assist a number of sectors with their reopening efforts and so we are excited to be working with Monumental Sports and Entertainment to deliver first in class technology to increase protections for people inside Capital One Arena,\u201d said Healthe Chief Commercial Officer Troy Temple. \u201cOur nation\u2019s capital is home to some of the best sports action, fans and entertainment in the country and we join Monumental and the District of Columbia in a shared vision of restoring that sense of excitement once again.\u201d<\/p>\n

Healthe\u2019s products are in use in other high-profile places throughout many sectors of our economy. They include the Miami Dolphins football facilities, the iconic Space Needle, Nature\u2019s Path production facilities, Magnolia Bakery (New York City), 1909 K Street (The Millennium Building) in Washington, D.C., The Capstone at Royal Palm Assisted Living and Memory Care Community (Florida), 9600 Condominium (\u2018Crown Jewel of the Jersey Shore\u2019) and the Blind Horse Restaurant & Winery (Wisconsin), to name just a few.<\/p>\n
