L2M – Low-Pressure-Drop Air Filtration for High-Volume HVAC Systems

Wildfire smoke and airborne pollutants are an increasing threat to indoor air quality, yet existing filtration systems struggle to balance efficiency, energy use, and proper airflow in large-scale applications. This venture is developing a novel air filtration system that integrates directly into building air handling units to deliver superior particulate removal without high pressure drop or energy consumption. By leveraging advanced particle flow dynamics, this technology can provide adaptable, low-maintenance filtration for large indoor spaces such as sports facilities and commercial spaces, as well as critical environments including hospitals and manufacturing facilities. In a world facing climate-driven air pollution challenges, this technology addresses the growing need for resilient, energy-efficient air quality solutions.
