BOX Pure Air For Schools
We strive to make better indoor air quality a reality for all spaces and circumstances, but at our core BOX Pure Air takes care of schools. We work with schools across the country to implement portable, air solutions that generate a healthier, more productive learning environment for their students and staff.
“Researchers found that students in classes below the minimum-required air ventilation performed 74 points lower on average on a 2,400-point test than students in rooms with better air quality.”

At the forefront of BOX Pure Airs’ mission to improve indoor air quality are schools.
Schools benefit greatly from proper indoor air quality as it helps with cognitive function, reducing absences, and more.
Meeting EPA, FDA, ASHRAE, and OSHA standards, our Peak units make for an easy plug-and-play solution for classrooms.
Indoor air quality in schools can be tricky as they have unique rooms of varying sizes and functions. Trying to take a “one size fits all” approach will likely be ineffective.
While our Peak unit is great for classrooms, we have seen great success implementing our Apex 2.0 units, which are specifically designed for large spaces, in schools’ cafeterias, locker rooms, gymnasiums, libraries, and other large rooms.
Watch how we used the Apex 2.0 to help a school district in Florida that was experiencing air problems in their music rooms or click to learn more about the Apex 2.0.

FAQ’s
What certifications do you have?
All BOX Pure Air units meet FDA, EPA, and IEST certification standards. All of our HEPA filters meet the U.S. HEPA certification standards which are the most rigid in the world. All units comply with FDA, OSHA, and ASHRAE guidelines.
how loud are the classroom units?
The Peak unit ranges from 56 DB on low to 72 DB on high. Most units sit at a medium setting of 63 DB during class time, equivalent to a white noise machine. If absolute silence is necessary we recommend letting the unit run on a lower setting and turning it up between class times.
How often do I have to replace the filters?
Regardless of which unit is being used, we reccomend replacing the antimicrobial and carbon filters every 6 months. This recommendation assumes the unit is running 24/7 and the actual may vary depending on use. For the HEPA filter, Peak and Mesa HEPA filters should be changed once every 4 years, and for the Apex 2.0, the HEPA filter only needs to be changed every 7 years.
DO These units use a UV component?
No, our units do not use a UV light on purpose. UV light units have been shown to be ineffective at best and at worst emit a potentially dangerous level of ozone into the air. While UV kills bacteria, increasing ventilation and using HEPA filtration has shown to perform better at reducing airborne particles.
