Successful Cases | Hong Kong ONE North Square

ONE NORTH is a brand new Grade A office and shopping mall complex project in Yuen Long District, with a total area of approximately 558000 square feet, including two 14 story office buildings and a three story retail and dining area.  ONE North Plaza is a focal point of development in the northern metropolitan area, attracting numerous well-known enterprises to settle in and becoming a modern landmark that integrates office, shopping, and dining.

Background：

As a world trade port and an important foreign trade city in China, Hong Kong attaches importance to public health requirements especially after the COVID-19 break and the demand for virus disinfection and sterilization and disease prevention from all walks of life is increasing sharply. As a commercial office complex, Yilang Plaza has always implemented strict control over public health, especially after the COVID-19 epidemic period, and the management of relevant aspects has become increasingly strict.

Pain points：

1. The dense population in commercial complexes can easily lead to the spread of bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms, such as influenza and gastrointestinal diseases. Air disinfection and sterilization can effectively reduce the breeding and spreading of bacteria and viruses in the air, reduce the risk of employees' illness, and ensure the health and safety of employees.

2. There may be air pollution problems in the complex, such as the release of harmful gases like formaldehyde and benzene, which can seriously harm people's health and cause serious problems for businesses and merchants there;

3. There may be relevant health regulations and standards in some areas that require regular air disinfection and sterilization in public places to ensure air quality and public health safety. As the center of business activities, office buildings must carry out disinfection and sterilization in accordance with regulations

Solution：

The garbage room is located on the office floor, and is used by floor office and cleaning staff. Every day at noon and evening, office staff will throw in garbage, such as takeaway food residues and packaging, office garbage (paper scraps, etc.). Considering the environmental characteristics of the garbage room, a large number of pathogens are easily bred in the air. 

In order to achieve the best air treatment effect, a ceiling-mounted air disinfection machine Q6060-A equipment was installed in the garbage room and an on-site test was carried out.

Effect ：

To verify the performance of the Q6060 air sterilizer in the actual environment, we continuously tested the number of bacteria before and after disinfection for 3 hours in the same period of time. The average disinfection rate for five days was 70.8% through statistical calculation.
