The installation of the Ecogate system is finished at the University of Southern California, School of Dentistry - Oral Health Center, Los Angeles, CA.
The Ecogate technology (Ecogates, greenBOX PRO+, Power MASTER PRO by Yaskawa) is hidden, per their request (built-in tables and control system is
installed outside). The main reason why the Ecogate system was chosen was because of the noise reduction, which is very important while classes are in session.
Other benefits are the significantly reduced cost of air conditioning and the reduced cost of the fan operation. The professor is using a microscope with a built-in
video camera, and the picture is projected on to a large screen. Every student has his own dental drill, ProLab by BienAir. If a student starts the drill then the
Ecogate System automatically opens the ventilation gate and adjusts the fan speed to achieve the proper ventilation level.
