Module hDuo
Module hDUO – an automatically disinfecting workspace for tasks requiring focus
Module hDuo is a quiet and soundproof workspace with pleasant acoustics and lighting, efficient ventilation and an automatic UV-C disinfection system.
In just five minutes, the highly effective UV-C light kills 99.9% of viruses and bacteria in the air and on the surfaces. An automatically disinfecting pod is a safe and pathogen-free work environment for every user, every time.
The air flow in the pods is laminar, which means that potentially virus-containing aerosols that are released into the air, for instance, by sneezing or exhaling, are quickly pushed to the floor and do not float around inside the space. This significantly reduces the risk of viral or bacterial infection, which makes hDuo a safer environment than the typical open-plan office, even when it comes to meetings.
The automatic UV-C disinfection and laminar air flow turn the Module hDuo pod into a coronavirus-free bubble – a safe environment for working productively. The pods also feature ABLOY ACTIVE door handles, which have an antimicrobial coating that kills up to 99.99% of harmful microbes and is 100% skin-friendly.
Module hDuo is a well-soundproofed pod that blocks out office background noise. The slanted walls create an acoustically pleasant ambience, and the efficient ventilation guarantees both clean air and clear thinking. The indirect LED lighting is anti-glare and will not cause distracting reflections on computer screens.
Module hDuo offers an excellent framework for productive work, quick meetings and remote meetings. The pod’s automatic UV-C disinfection system increases the safety of the work environment by preventing the spread of diseases at the workplace, which in turn reduces the number of absences due to illness.

A SAFE, SOUNDPROOF AND AUTOMATICALLY DISINFECTING WORKSPACE
The Module hDuo workspace features an automatic disinfection system based on UV-C light that sterilises the space after every period of use that lasts more than six minutes.
Research shows that UV-C light effectively kills the RNA of viruses, thereby preventing the viruses from spreading and proliferating. The method has been used to kill viruses and bacteria in the air and on surfaces, objects and in water for 40 years already.
Module hDuo’s UV-C disinfecting process takes five minutes and kills viruses and bacteria with 99.9% certainty – including the SARS CoV-2 coronavirus.
OPERATION AND SAFETY OF THE AUTOMATIC UV-C DISINFECTION SYSTEM
A light panel above the door of the Module hDuo pod indicates the status of the disinfection process:
- Green light: The space has been disinfected and is ready to use
- Yellow light: Disinfection is about to start
- Red light: Disinfection is in progress, wait until the light turns green
Module hDuo’s sensors measure the duration of the pod’s use. Disinfection is only initiated if the previous use lasted at least six consecutive minutes.
The pod is equipped with motion sensors that continuously detect whether the workspace is in use. Once the space has been empty and the door closed for five minutes after it has been used, the disinfecting begins. The disinfection system will not start up if there are people in the pod.
The highly effective UV-C disinfection takes five minutes and kills 99.9% of any possible viruses and bacteria in the space, after which the space is ready for its next user. The UV-C light (wavelength 254 nm) does not produce ozone.
UV-C light does not permeate the structures or materials of Module hDuo, so the light only affects the interior of the pod.
- The pod is made from materials that prevent UV-C light from passing through
- The laminated glass walls block UV-C light
- The door and frame are double-rebated
- The disinfection system will not start if the pod is in use
- If the pod’s door is opened during disinfection, the disinfection cycle will cease automatically
