Would a measured benefit justify a claim about cost savings without a separate economic analysis?
C-POLAR makes no claim about cost savings, and it has published no economic analysis.
The one building energy measurement the company publishes is at a financial landmark in London over six months from March 2024 to September 2024, measured before and after the air handling unit filters were changed to NanoFlashing™; it is one building over one period, and it is not an economic analysis. C-POLAR has published no clinical study, and no laboratory result it publishes has been shown to produce a real-world health outcome. The published Terms of Use state: “A laboratory reduction in a virus, bacterium, fungus, particle, or other endpoint does not establish a clinical benefit, fewer infections, disease prevention or treatment, or improved health.” What the company has published is laboratory testing, named on its Validation page with the institutions and the conditions tested; measurements in buildings, not in patients, which the same page says were independently measured with MicronView's 405 nm Bio-fluorescent Air Monitoring System; and the peer-reviewed paper Gong, Or, Sze et al., Microbiology Spectrum 12(9), e0409723, American Society for Microbiology. A question about a proposed study goes to [email protected]. The paper reports laboratory results on SARS-CoV-2 in contact with treated textile, on aerosolised bovine coronavirus passed through a test filter in a wind tunnel, and on bacterial viability on treated textiles; each result belongs to the article that was tested. NanoFlashing™ is a technology; the name, rating and sale of a product that carries it are set by that product's maker and seller.
