Case Study: Innovative Personal Fitness improves indoor air quality and reduces viral risk with Oxygen8 Ventum ERV

Innovative Personal Fitness - Customer Case Study

The customer, Innovative Personal Fitness, a small fitness studio, faced significant challenges due to an outdated and non-functional ventilation system. This led to multiple COVID-19 outbreaks, forcing the business to operate at reduced capacity, which severely hurt revenue. The studio's owner, Keith Sharman, needed a solution to create a safe, healthy environment for clients and employees without a large investment of time or money. The vendor, Oxygen8, identified this as an opportunity to install their pre-market Ventum dedicated outdoor air system (DOAS) unit.

Oxygen8 implemented its all-electric Ventum ERV unit, which provides up to 1350 CFM of pre-conditioned fresh air. This installation increased the studio's air change rate from under two to six air changes per hour. The results were immediately measurable: average CO2 concentrations during busy periods decreased by over 40%, from 1100-1200 ppm to around 700 ppm. Most importantly, the studio has had zero viral outbreaks since the installation, allowing it to resume pre-pandemic operations confidently. Oxygen8's solution successfully created a safer, healthier, and more resilient business for the client.
