DORAVILLE, Ga. - Purafil Inc. received an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 2004 Clean Air Excellence Award for its Enersave Program and OnGuard monitors. Purafil received the recognition in the "Clean Air Technology" category, which acknowledges technological developments that help reduce air pollution from either stationary, mobile, or area sources.

Enersave is an energy savings program that helps reduce the need for outside air by as much as 75 percent in commercial buildings, the manufacturer said, "offering significant savings on energy and operational costs." OnGuard monitors provide continuous, real-time measurements of airborne contamination levels.

Said EPA administrator Stephen Johnson, "Your innovative projects and creative programs demonstrate our national resolve for cleaner air and a healthier America."
