GPS recognizes the urgent need for clean, breathable air.
Schools & Universities
Create a safer environment for faculty and students
Pathogen control should be the top priority for a safe indoor environment, particularly in the education sector. Classrooms, campus buildings and other school settings are gathering spaces and regularly feature many people in a confined area. For the cleanest air possible, you need solutions that are up for a challenge.
Our products are installed in more than 250,000 locations including colleges and universities, where patented needlepoint bipolar ionization (NPBI®) technology safely and effectively improves indoor air quality.
The complete indoor air quality solution
Cleaner, safer indoor air is a top priority for schools and universities. NPBI technology targets particles and limits the spread of airborne viruses and other pathogens, making indoor spaces safer for students, faculty and staff. But that's not the only benefit.
Many schools and university buildings are dated and require more frequent maintenance and upkeep. As these buildings age, mold becomes more prevalent. NPBI tackles this common issue by reducing airborne mold spores.

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 breaks down chemical, pet, cooking and other odors into basic harmless compounds, leaving indoor air smelling fresh and free of odor-causing VOCs.
-
Saves Energy
By keeping indoor air cleaner, NPBI reduces the amount of air required from outside to keep things fresh — saving you initial ventilation equipment costs and up to 30% on energy consumption.
