Our HVAC system controls the heat, humidity, and air quality throughout the hot yoga studio in Albuquerque.  It is vitally important that SWEAT Yoga Studio’s hot yoga classes offer a consistent and controllable hot yoga environment for students by achieving the targeted temperature and humidity level.  Also, human and animal lungs absorb oxygen more efficiently from clean air, enhancing general health and well-being. We have gone to great lengths to ensure the air you breathe at our hot yoga studio in Albuquerque is the cleanest, freshest and healthiest available. See below for more specific information on how our specialized hot yoga equipment will help achieve these goals. 

Modulating Furnace

The National Association of Homebuilders likens a standard furnace to stop-and-go traffic, with its inefficient use of energy for your car and frustration for you. Modulating furnace performance is more like highway driving, where you are cruising along, making slight operating adjustments while achieving maximum efficiency. Our modulating furnace operates with more finesse to reduce temperature fluctuations, providing a consistent indoor temperature, quiet operation, and an annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE) up to 98%. That means fuel is used more efficiently, reducing energy use and minimizing our carbon footprint. This type of furnace maintains the temperature to within a ½ degree of the thermostat set point. Since the fan and burner almost never run at full capacity and energy-robbing on/off cycling is eliminated, the unit is highly fuel-efficient.

110 lb Modulating Natural Gas Steam Humidifier

Humidity is a very important part of SWEAT Yoga Studio's hot yoga experience. Using our sophisticated humidifier allows us to decrease the temperature in our hot yoga studio, but achieve similar results to a higher temperature environment.  Students receive the benefits of sweating while not overheating or otherwise feeling "cooked." 

Energy Recovery Ventilator

An energy recovery ventilator (ERV) provides fresh air to a conditioned space while exhausting an equal amount of stale air. Heat energy and moisture is transferred from one air stream to the other; saving energy by utilizing energy of stale air to treat fresh air. Incoming fresh air is filtered before flowing through the heat exchange core. Stale air flows through the cross-flow heat exchanger and transfers heat and moisture to the incoming fresh air. Warm fresh air is then distributed through a unique ductwork system. This unit is equipped with variable frequency drive (VFD) which brings in the correct volume of air in order to maintain appropriate oxygen levels. 

Ultra-Violet Light Kit

Typically, heated yoga studios create an ideal environment for the growth of bacteria and mold. Usually, filters are used to mitigte this problem, but filters do not prevent microbes from passing into a building's air circulation. Amidst these indoor air quality challenges, the HVAC industry has produced new technology that is effective for controlling allergens, mold, infectious airborne diseases and other microbes that can affect the air quality of an indoor facility. Ultraviolet (UV) technology has been used for more than a century as a germicidal solution for a variety of applications from disinfecting water to controlling airborne diseases in hospitals. Microorganisms have no defense against high frequency ultra-violet (UV-C) light. A well known study by the medical journal "Lancet" in 2003 showed that UV lights reduced microbial contamination within the HVAC system by greater than 99% and reduced occupant respiratory illnesses by more than 40%. Our UV light system is designed specifically to disinfect the HVAC unit to further freshen air, fight odors and reduce indoor air pollution without the use of chemicals. However, this system also increases the energy efficiency of our HVAC units, minimizing our carbon footprint. Microbial growth that coats air conditioning coils hinders the heat-transfer process and increases static pressure, which causes longer HVAC system run times to satisfy set-point temperatures. 

Negative Ion Generator

Generally, insluation efforts to increase efficiency for indoor facilities have the negative effect of minimizing fresh air flow and increasing pollutants.  To combat this, the HVAC industry created this equipment. Ionization equipment is typically mounted in the central air conditioning system; either in the air handling unit itself or on the main supply ductwork. Millions of ions are formed as air passes over the ionization tubes. These ions travel through the duct system and out into the treated space attacking pollutants in the yoga room. Much like sunlight does in the atmosphere, the Plasma Air technology produces a natural bio-climate rich in active oxygen molecules, otherwise known as ions. The Plasma Air system creates a measurable and controllable quantity of positive and negative oxygen ions. The negative ions contain an extra electron while the positive ions are missing an electron resulting in an unstable condition. These unstable ions provide the following benefits: 

1. Particle Reduction - Airborne particles are charged by the ions through ionic bonding. These charged particles stick together increasing their size allowing them to be easily removed by even low grade filters. Additionally, particles are the vehicles that transmit bacteria cells from person to person. As the ions cause increased particle size, the result is less bacteria in the breathing zone.  

2. Sterilization - As they divide in the split zone, bacteria and mold spores bond with active oxygen molecules and are oxidized and destroyed. The bacteria and mold can no longer multiply. 

3. Odor Neutralization - Odorous gases and aerosols oxidize on contact with active oxygen molecules.  Odors, especially of an organic origin, are quickly eliminated.

4. VOC Control - Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are emitted as gases where there is carpeting, building materials, furniture, office equipment, cleaning agents, paints, glues, solvents or pesticides. The ions trade electrons with these VOCs breaking down their molecular structures into less harmful ones. 

Fabric Duct-sock

SWEAT Yoga Studio utilizes custom fabric ductwork instead of traditional metal ducting. Fabric allows air to be dispersed uniformly throughout the yoga room which provides for consistent temperature throughout the space. Our unique ducting system is also antimicrobial and can be laundered; additional measures to ensure the utmost in air quality.
