Clean Air for Indoor Sports Facilities
Innovative and Sustainable Controlled Indoor Climate System
i-Vention, a winner of the SBIR Sports Events and SBIR Sports Accommodations programs, has tackled the critical challenges of air quality and safety in indoor sports facilities during the Covid-19 pandemic. In collaboration with Sportinnovator and the Dutch Ministries of Economic Affairs and Public Health, i-Vention developed an innovative and sustainable controlled indoor climate system. This system combines ventilation, filtration, cooling and heating, air purification, air quality sensors, and a dedicated dashboard and app. Designed to create safe indoor environments, it allows for the continuation of high-intensity sports with minimized risk of aerosol transmission.

Detailed Process
1. PROBLEM DESCRIPTION — Indoor sports facilities face heightened risks of infection due to aerosols generated during high-intensity activities. Aerosols can remain airborne, increasing the likelihood of transmission in enclosed spaces.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, ensuring air quality and safety in such environments became a critical challenge. Existing systems often fell short in balancing ventilation and purification without significant energy costs or operational inefficiencies.
The Solution
2. THE SOLUTION — i-Vention developed an innovative controlled indoor climate system that addresses these challenges comprehensively. The solution integrates advanced ventilation, filtration, cooling, heating, and air purification technologies to ensure clean air.Real-time air quality sensors, coupled with a dashboard and app, provide continuous monitoring and insights to ensure compliance and safety. The system’s sustainable design also reduces energy consumption, making it suitable not only for indoor sports facilities but also for broader applications in events, education, and hospitality.
The Result
3. THE RESULT — The i-Vention system has successfully created safer environments for indoor sports by minimizing aerosol transmission risks. Its real-time monitoring capabilities and integrated design ensure clean air during high-intensity activities.This innovative system has demonstrated versatility, with potential applications in other sectors, contributing to safe and commercially viable events, educational facilities, and hospitality spaces. Partners and clients have praised its effectiveness, energy efficiency, and scalability.
