HHIT

Healthy indoor air
wherever you want


At HHIT we analyze and propose solutions to make the indoor environment of buildings safe and healthy, especially in environments that are not favorable. This is often the case in our cities, where air pollution has become an indisputable health problem, recognized by the main organizations:


It is estimated that over 80% of time spent by city dwellers is indoors. Furthermore, the latest studies indicate that the presence of pollutants in indoor air is usually higher than outdoors.


This is due to the fact that, in addition to external contaminants, there are also contaminants produced in the indoor environment by the activity itself, the presence of users, construction materials, installations, furniture, equipment used, etc. It is of particular importance to consider seasonal illnesses, such as influenza and syncytial virus, which are mainly transmitted indoors. All of these factors have an impact on the comfort and health of building users.

UVGIHIT is a patented system that protects people from high intensity ultraviolet radiation when applied to the air. It takes up minimal space and provides permanent protection. It does not depend on the condition of additional particle retention filters or their periodic replacement. It is used to decontaminate indoor air in buildings and is installed in:

  • Air recirculation units.
  • Air grids in existing duct networks, without having to modify their normal operation.

We have three patents granted, two in 2024, and a fourth in process, all of them in the field of chemical and biological air decontamination. Two of these projects have been subsidized by the Spanish Patent and Trademark Office.  If you need more information, please contact info@hhit.es.

We are currently working on the projects FOCUS-1% in order to improve indoor air quality in existing buildings in urban environments, which have old or deficient ventilation networks, or which do not have them, and which are difficult or very expensive to install. We have collaboration agreements with the following organizations:

The ICCL is a reference in the building construction sector within the Autonomous Community of Castilla y León, and is made up of 3 universities and 8 professional associations of technicians. Given that the ventilation of buildings is currently regulated by specific regulations, it is necessary to verify that the results obtained by the innovative project provide similar or better results than those required by law.

On 30 September 2024, we entered into a Collaboration Agreement with the University of Burgos for the development of research projects that require the use of our low-pressure chamber for testing aerosol treatment devices. This device utilises one of our patents.

Environmental quality requires controlling a broad spectrum of agents of different nature:


  • PHYSICAL AGENTS

    Common parameters:

    • Temperature
    • Humidity
    • Illumination
    • Noise level
    • Vibrations

    Operation of equipment and machinery

    • Electromagnetic fields,
    • Electric fields,
    • static electricity
    • Ionising fields
  • CHEMICAL AGENTS

    Products generated by occupants and their activities:

    • Bioeffluents
    • Carbon dioxide (CO2)
    • Biocides, cleaning products
    • Office equipment (printers, photocopiers, etc.)

    By-products from building materials and furniture:

    • alcohols
    • aldehydes
    • ketones
    • glycol ethers
    • terpenes
    • Particulate matter and fibres in suspension
    • Asbestos

    Environmental impact

    • Ozone 
    • Radon
    • Pollen

    Combustion by-products from vehicles, cooking and heating:

    • Carbon monoxide (CO) 
    • Nitrogen dioxide (NO2)
    • Sulphur dioxide (SO2)
  • BIOLOGICAL AGENTS

    Through human-to-human contact:

    Seasonal diseases: flu, covid-19, RSV, etc.


    Due to deterioration of the building:

    damp

    moulds

    bacteria


    Installations and their maintenance: 

    machines

    tanks

    duct networks

Assessing and monitoring environmental health parameters in indoor environments has many benefits:


  • Improves the comfort and well-being of workers and users in buildings.
  • Reduces the risk of developing health problems in the short, medium and long term.
  • Increase productivity, reduce absenteeism and improve the work environment.
  • Promotes energy savings and optimizes facility maintenance.
