Ventilation tells half the story. UV-Clear™ tells the other half.
You proved that most Class A buildings are over-ventilating. And built a business on measuring it instead of guessing. We did the same thing for pathogen risk: an issued patent, independent lab-verified results, and a path toward ASHRAE 241 compliance, built for the same buildings already in your portfolio.
Retrofit First
Easily installs in virtually any existing HVAC system. No upgrades, no redesign, no disruption.
Easy Install
One six-inch hole. Using existing power. Any licensed HVAC technician.
Patent Protected
Issued U.S. Patent US 12,588,134 B2
Super Efficient
Our patented passive cooling platform addressed the historic LED thermal limitations.
Built on Nichia
Proudly built on Nichia UV LEDs. World's leading LED manufacturer
Lab Tested
Multi-phase third-party calibration testing underway. Phase one results are in!
The Problem
Your model is deliberately narrow. Ventilation rate, measured with aerosol tracers, paid from verified savings.
Mercury is on its way out. Globally. Through regulatory action. The technology that has run air sanitization for a century is on a hard deadline. The market needs a replacement.
That focus is your moat
But the conversation in every building you touch is shifting from "how much air" to "how clean is it." Infection control, occupant health, ESG reporting, WELL renewals, your customers are already asking these questions in the same breath as their ventilation numbers.
You stay the ventilation expert. We become the answer when the conversation turns to disinfection.
The Solution
UV-Clear™ adds the other half of the IAQ story without touching your model. You handle how much outdoor air clears a space.
We handle what's actually able to survive in that air. Same AHU, same ductwork, same install footprint your team already studies, a UV-C LED array that intercepts pathogens in the airstream. No retrofit, no controls integration, no overlap with anything you sell.
Where We Stand
Validated.
But we'd like to push for additional testing
COMPLETE
Preliminary ASHRAE 185.1-2020 calibration
UV-Clear™ was tested against ASHRAE 185.1/2 standards with no PTFE reflective materials added to the duct and no burn-in where the device is running before measurement begins. To our knowledge, we are the first UV-C device tested in this manner which was designed to simulate real-world installations and field deployments across all moving air environments. UV-Clear™s prototype device, under 50% power load, was certified by AirMid to provide a 64% first-pass inactivation of MS2 bacteriophage at 2000 CFM
This is a first data point from a prototype still in calibration, an opening result, not a finished spec. More is on the way.
PHASE 2 TESTING UNDERWAY
ASHRAE 241 Schedule F compliance
H1N1 testing on both high and low power settings is actively in progress, specifically targeting ASHRAE 241 Schedule F procurement compliance. Schedule F is the standard your institutional procurement team will require before approving a germicidal UV specification. We are not claiming 241 compliance today. We are showing you the testing roadmap, where we are on it, and what comes next.
ISSUED
IP position
The core thermal innovation is protected by an issued U.S. utility patent US 12,588,134 B2. The patent covers the passive cooling approach that makes dense UV-C LED arrays viable in fast-moving air. This is the barrier that separates UV-Clear™ from off-the-shelf LED products that burn out under real duct conditions.
WORKING HYPOTHESIS 30–50
Equivalent Air Exchange (eACH)
Based on system geometry, airflow parameters, and first-pass test results, our current scientific and mathematical hypothesis places UV-Clear™'s equivalent clean air delivery contribution in the 30–50 eACH range for standard commercial duct configurations. This is a working projection, not yet a certified figure, it will be validated and refined as Phase 2 testing progresses. We're telling you the hypothesis now because compliance buyers deserve to know the number we're working toward, not just that we're "testing."
MANUFACTURE-READY
The platform design is finalized
The product line - ClearFlow 120, ClearFlow 240, ClearFlow 480, is production-ready across small commercial to large institutional air handler configurations. You are not buying a concept or a prototype pipeline.
You are engaging with a production-ready system that is still accumulating proof points.
Why It Matters for Your Organization
Extends Your Offer
Extends your offer instead of competing with it, more wallet share in accounts you already hold, not a new sales motion
Bye bye Mercury
The mercury ban gives you urgency you can use, not pressure you have to manufacture
Same sales flow
Same buyer, same procurement seat, same documentation bar you already clear for WELL, Fitwel, LEED v5, and ASHRAE 241 . Nothing new to explain, just one more line in the report
Better Energy
Lower power draw than the mercury UV-C systems it's replacing. Improved disinfection, less load on the building's electrical and cooling systems, which only sharpens your own energy-savings numbers rather than competing with them
We're a good couple!
We're a hardware company, not a competing service. No channel conflict, no commission-structure question to untangle
UV-Clear™ proof
Real validation. Issued IP. Independent lab.
UV-Clear™ was tested against ASHRAE 185.1/2 standards with no PTFE reflective materials added to the duct and no burn-in where the device is running before measurement begins. To our knowledge, we are the first UV-C device tested in this manner which was designed to simulate real-world installations and field deployments across all moving air environments. UV-Clear™’s prototype device, under 50% power load, was certified by AirMid to provide a 64% first-pass inactivation of MS2 bacteriophage at 2000 CFM. High-power MS2 and H1N1 validation is ongoing.
OUR PATENT
UV-Clear™ also holds an issued U.S. utility patent, US 12,588,134 B2, covering the passive cooling approach that makes dense UV-C LED arrays viable in moving air. Additional testing is underway, including H1N1 on both high and low power settings for ASHRAE 241 Schedule F procurement compliance.

UV-Clear™ Safe by Design
UV-C where it works. Away from where people are.
UV-Clear™ operates entirely inside the ductwork. There is no UV-C exposure pathway to building occupants, not from above, not from in-room devices, not from surface treatments that off-gas or produce byproducts. The germicidal process happens in the duct, on the air, before it reaches the people inside.
zero compromise
No mercury. No ozone. No harmful byproducts. No exposure risk to occupants, staff, students, or patients. UV-Clear™ is germicidal by design, and safe by design. Not a tradeoff between the two.
UV-Clear™ Safety facts
Operates entirely within ductwork. Zero occupant exposure
No UV exposure risk
Safe in occupied buildings during normal operation
Where We Stand
Relevant Standards and Regulations
ASHRAE 185.1-2020
Method of Testing UV-C Lights for Use in Air-Handling Units or Air Ducts to Inactivate Airborne Microorganisms. The methodology used in UV-Clear's completed first-pass independent testing. This is the recognized standard for evaluating in-duct UV-C systems, not a proprietary test protocol.
IN PROGRESS
ASHRAE 241-2023
Control of Infectious Aerosols. The first standard specifically addressing infection risk reduction through clean air delivery. Establishes equivalent clean air delivery rate (eACH) targets by space type. UV-Clear Phase 2 testing is actively targeting Schedule F procurement compliance.
ASHRAE 62.1
Ventilation and Acceptable Indoor Air Quality. The ventilation standard enforced by most jurisdictions. In configurations where UV-Clear™ satisfies clean air delivery requirements, it may reduce required outdoor air ventilation rates, decreasing energy load rather than increasing it.
Joint Commission Environment of Care Standards (EC.02.06.01)
Healthcare organizations must maintain safe physical environments, including air quality in patient care areas. UV-Clear™'s in-duct operation produces no occupant UV exposure, no mercury, and no ozone, and is backed by independent third-party testing following recognized methodology.
CMS Conditions of Participation
Hospitals and skilled nursing facilities must meet federal standards for infection control and environmental safety. UV-Clear™ operates continuously and passively inside ductwork, with no impact on occupant schedules or building operations.
