Delta Electronics Foundation donated wall-mounted PM2.5 DC variable frequency ERVs to the SunshineFoundation for building a healthy and comfortable rehabilitation environment

To help the Sunshine Social Welfare Foundation through the long-term fight against the pandemic and provide a healthy and comfortable rehabilitation environment for burned patients, Delta employed UNO air quality monitoring solution together with a series of energy-saving renovations for office space to help them reduce indoor electricity consumption, concentration of carbon dioxide, PM2.5, PM10, and other harmful components for a healthier and more comfortable rehabilitation environment. In addition, Delta donated 25 sets of wall-mounted energy recovery ventilators (ERV) to the Sunshine Foundation, so as to extend the services to patients and improve the environmental quality.

Guo Shanshan, deputy chairperson of the Delta Electronics Foundation, said that when the Kaohsiung Gas Explosion took place in 2014, Delta helped the Sunshine Foundation quickly set up a reconstruction center in Kaohsiung. After the outbreak of the pandemic this time, the Delta Electronics Foundation observed that, in order to prevent the pandemic, the Reconstruction Center had to open windows while having the air conditioner on, which made the burden of electricity bills even greater. Shanshan said: “Energy-efficient building solutions could bring fresh air with smart energy-efficient technology, which can alleviate the difficulties faced by the Sunshine Foundation and create a more favorable environment for the rehabilitation of injured friends.”

The equipment included a ceiling-hidden and wall-mounted PM2.5 DC variable frequency ERV, which performs heat exchange and humidity, thus reducing the loading for the air conditioning equipment. Together with high-performance triple filter, it can effectively filter out the harmful PM2.5. In addition, Delta offered a UNO indoor air quality monitoring solution, which, together with UNOnext IAQ sensors and ERVs, not only adjusts the basic ventilation required, but also helps the building environment move toward the international WELL standard for healthy buildings. The values of CO2, PM2.5, PM10, etc. of the indoor air are well controlled, making the injured patients safer, healthier, and more comfortable during their rehabilitation.

Furthermore, in terms of renovating space for energy efficiency, Delta Electronics Foundation also cooperated with Green Comfort Health Architecture Association to help the Sunshine Foundation to install double-layer glasses, effectively eliminating external heat sources and reducing noise. At the same time, they helped with the separation of cold and hot aisles in the computer service room to avoid mixing of winds, and utilized Delta's duct fan to extract the heat of the computer service room, reducing the operation and energy consumption of the air conditioners. With the combination of the fresh air ventilation system and the renovation with insulation, the effort is expected to save 30% of the power consumption for the air conditioner.
