AIR QUALITY AND HEALTH
HVAC is not only about cooling and heating, HVAC must be an air treatment system.
In a closed environment like a yacht there is a high risk of getting infected by viruses, bacteria’s and risks on building up mold. Large amounts of miniscule airborne droplets filled with bacteria and microorganisms caused by an ill person get spread easily. These suspended particles do not only quickly spread through one room but through the whole yacht by means of the HVAC system. Humidity levels are also of big influence of the spread of bacteria’s. That’s why it is important to control the air quality. There are several options to prevent your guests and crew from getting contaminated or to prevent mold build up.
A high rate of ventilation is the simplest solution for both problems, but in maritime conditions the air has to be treated as well. The more ventilation the better the quality but this results in more energy use, space consumption and installation costs. We support in the right balance between ventilation, filtration and energy consumption. Our experts will find the most suitable solution for your yacht. Every type of filtration has their own pro’s and con’s and we recommend the most suitable solution for your system.

From the start of our cooperation one of Synergy’s and Bond’s focuses has been the importance of air purification systems on-board superyachts.
Bond Support & Services group has become Poppy’s strategic partner for Superyachts and the Cote d’Azur with the world’s only pathogen sensing and detection network that helps protect the places where we work, live, and visit by monitoring both air and surfaces for the COVID-19 virus and more than 1000 other pathogens.
Together with Poppy we are utilizing Poppy’s cutting-edge technology for the early detection of COVID-19 and other pathogens by harnessing our expertise and reputation in the Yachting industry. This Strategic Partnership with Poppy was the next logical step. The bar-coded DNA tracer analysis for the ventilation system which we have now tested on yachts has already created significant interest from yachts, owners and owner’s representatives, who rightly recognize what the last period has taught us, that air quality is vital to a healthy and happy life for all.
