Schools & Universities
GPS recognizes the urgent need for safe and effective solutions to help clean the air.
Schools & Universities
Create a cleaner environment for faculty and students
Our products help reduce pathogens. Classrooms, campus buildings and other school settings are gathering spaces and regularly feature many people in a confined area. You need solutions that are up for the challenge.
Since 2009, GPS products have been installed in more than 250,000 locations including colleges and universities, where patented needlepoint bipolar ionization (NPBI®) technology is helping to safely and effectively improve indoor air quality.
Part of a complete indoor air quality solution
Cleaner indoor air is a priority for schools and universities. NPBI technology targets particles and helps limits the spread of airborne viruses and other pathogens, making indoor spaces safer for students, faculty and staff.
Many schools and university buildings are dated and require more frequent maintenance and upkeep. As these buildings age, there are unique considerations for indoor air quality. NPBI technology can add value and impact as part of a comprehensive multi-layered strategy.

The road to better, cleaner air
Sanitary practices such as regular deep cleanings and sanitized surfaces are helpful — but they don’t clean the air. GPS needlepoint bipolar ionization (NPBI) technology makes a significant impact on air quality by delivering ionization through the HVAC system and reducing the volume of infectious pathogens in the air. Contact with positive and negative ions has microbicidal effects on pathogens, which ultimately disrupts their surface proteins and renders them inactive.
*Independent laboratory studies have shown our NPBI technology limits the spread of viruses.
Benefits
A proven process to clean the air
-
Targets Particles
When these ions disperse throughout a space, such as an office or a schoolroom, they combine with particles suspended in the air. This creates a snowball effect in which particles of opposite polarities begin to cluster together, making them easier to capture in filtration systems.
-
Reduces Pathogens
During the NPBI process, contact with ions disrupts pathogens’ surface proteins, rendering them inactive and unable to replicate.
-
Tackles Odors
GPS NPBI technology reduces odor-causing VOCs, leaving indoor air smelling fresher.
-
Saves Energy
By keeping indoor air cleaner, NPBI reduces the amount of air required from outside to keep things fresh — saving ventilation equipment costs and energy consumption.
