Indoor Air Quality
With 60 billion square feet of office space across the U.S., many buildings are reaching an age where proactive measures to improve indoor air quality (IAQ) are no longer optional, but essential.
The EPA defines IAQ as "the air quality within and around buildings and structures, especially as it relates to the health and comfort of building occupants." By understanding and controlling common indoor pollutants, we can significantly reduce health risks for your building's occupants.
Beyond filtration, the strategic elimination of uncomfortable air drafts from commercial HVAC vents offers a dual benefit: healthier environments and enhanced employee performance. Studies consistently show that contaminants within ductwork can trigger allergies, while cold drafts contribute to discomfort and even illness among employees.
Hospitals, in particular, prioritize superior indoor air such as requiring MERV13 or greater filters.
The Indoor Environment Group at Berkeley Labs elaborates on IAQ, describing it as "the environmental characteristics inside buildings that may affect human health, comfort, or work performance." This broad definition includes critical elements like pollutant concentrations, air temperature, humidity, and the dynamic aspect of indoor air motion, all of which are fundamental to achieving optimal thermal comfort.
“Particle filtration technologies are well established and widely available. Currently, most building HVAC systems include filters with a relatively low-efficiency rating. For example, U.S. commercial buildings often use filters with a Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV) of 7, with a low efficiency in removing the small particles most important to health. The filters used in the HVAC systems of houses often have an even lower efficiency. The incremental costs of using higher efficiency filters, e.g., those with a MERV 11 rating, are modest — less than a U.S. dollar per person per month and the predicted health benefits are substantial. Consequently, routine use of higher efficiency filters in HVAC systems represents a good building practice.”
Clean Your Air: Essential Indoor Air Quality Solutions for Businesses
"As awareness of 'sick building syndrome' and its impact on employee well-being grows, businesses face increasing demands for improved office air quality. The EPA states that indoor air pollution is, on average, seven to ten times more severe than outdoor air, even in metropolitan areas. These harmful airborne particles are directly linked to significant health problems such as asthma, chronic fatigue, allergies, respiratory ailments, headaches, and nausea, impacting employee productivity.
Historically, effective indoor air quality solutions were few, with options like ductwork cleaning or replacement often proving too costly. Furthermore, cleaning HVAC ducts can frequently exacerbate the problem by dislodging old contaminants and duct insulation loaded with allergens.
It's time for a truly effective, cost-efficient indoor air purification solution.
