Energy Harness creates products to help in fight with COVID-19

Energy Harness Corporation established in 2010 and headquartered in Cape Coral, specializes in the manufacturing and nationwide distribution of high-quality commercial LED lighting. Combining science, technology and manufacturing, EHC creates innovative LED lighting solutions that reduce energy and maintenance costs.

Energy Harness, like many other companies, was affected in various ways due to the pandemic of COVID-19. Working as a team, Energy Harness went from surviving to thriving within this pandemic. Energy Harness adapted to the new norm by communicating virtually with clients and team members, as most of the staff worked remotely, and the production and warehouse teams continued to abide by the social distancing recommendations. With limited staff inside of the facility, the team increased internal communication and changed procedures to ensure production and shipments remained on schedule. Taking all necessary precautions for employees and clients, EHC was able to continue to work as normal and regained traction utilizing social media platforms, electronic communications, and zoom video meetings.

As this pandemic manifested, EHC’s team of engineers went to work to design a new product using LED innovation and ultraviolet light technology. This new product line created growth opportunities within the company as well as multiple new job positions.

The Energy Harness Active-Airflow fixture is designed and built in the USA, to eliminate airborne pathogens. It can be installed into standard commercial ceiling grids located in most office buildings, schools, and medical facilities and can safely operate while those areas are occupied.

Research indicates that most viruses and bacteria are spread by breathing airborne particles. Studies conclusively show that ultraviolet light (UV), particularly the UV-C spectrum (265-280nm) is especially effective in eliminating these pathogens.

By applying LED technology to the science of how ultraviolet light affects micro-organisms, Energy Harness has developed a system to effectively protect indoor areas, and the people in them, against airborne pathogens.

According to its website, Energy Harness is located at 71 Mid Cape Terrace #8, Cape Coral, FL 33991.
