20 GHP Q4 2022 With pathogens circulating our indoor spaces, it is most important that we look for ways to prevent the spread of said pathogens and lower our infection rates. Tayra S.L. uses its HVAC solutions to create a better place to live and work – without costing the earth or sacrificing the health of the planet. Here we talk to its very own Paul Gerard O´Donohoe as he wins Best Air Conditioning Technology Solutions Research Engineer 2022. A Breath Of Fresh Air eating, ventilation, and air conditioning is the utilisation of numerous tools to control the temperature, moisture, and quality of the air within enclosed spaces. By providing thermal comfort and appropriate indoor air quality, HVAC systems make use of mechanical engineering to improve to create a healthier indoor environment. Its design and manufacturing is based on the principles of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics,aerodynamics and heat transfer – so that we can control the temperature and environment of each space to the most acceptable level. By choosing the right ventilation and air conditioning technology for a property, we can optimise health, system performance, and save money on energy costs. Tayra S.L. is a shining example of how to proceed in the HVAC world. With its fresh ideas and transferrable skills – utilising AI technology in harmony with HVAC technology – Tayra has created a system that allows us to achieve a healthier indoor environment with net zero energy usage. Paul tells us, “Tayra was set up in 2004 with a specific focus to develop state of the art HVAC technology.” Its heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) technologies – alongside its tenacious attitude towards making the world a better place – has won Paul Best Air Conditioning Technology Solutions Research Engineer 2022. Working with universities and research centres, Tayra has been developing more solutions for better quality air in a plethora of spaces. Being a pioneer in its industry, it is able to reach businesses and homes all around the world. Paul comments, “Our most significant breakthrough has been the pioneer research work and technology development done on the fight against the spread and infection by bioaerosols in indoor environments. This research work proved that the principal route of infection is via airborne bioaerosols inside building environments where the ventilation systems can be the principal vector of propagation.” This has been especially helpful throughout the global pandemic. After various lockdowns and restrictions, we have all slowly begun entering business environments again. Instead of working from home, we are now finding that most of us are going back to office spaces where the risk of infections absolutely skyrockets. However, with HVAC research carried out by Tayra, this risk can be drastically reduced and even controlled in real time. Paul informs us that the World Health Organisation declared that 614 million people have been infected with COVID, while 6.5 million have died from it, and Tayra is well aware that ventilation systems actually propagate infections. Tayra has come up with a plan to combat this problem. For the future, Paul Shares, “Our upcoming projects entail the development of a state of the art HVC system design which allows AI intelligent control of pathogen free indoor environments where a risk infection can be predicted in real time. The HVAC technology will provide clean pathogen free fresh air to a building with zero carbon footprint.” With sweeping developments in AI technology, we can see a future filled with automated processes that are more efficient and less complicated for us overall. By using intelligent controls that can predict risk infections in real time, more holistic practices are finding their way into our lives – for the better. As HVAC systems cannot reach their peak with present day controls, it is imperative to work out ways in which AI systems can influence and control HVAC operations. With variables in working conditions – like people entering and leaving the building, outdoor temperature, activities indoors, and more, Tayra is working hard to invest in AI for the best outcomes. It is obvious that AI is the way forward for the maximum gain of HVAC systems – making it easier, safer, and less expensive for us and planet. Tayra is exceeding all expectations and will continue doing so – congratulations Tayra.
