How phased IAQ strategies can support existing HVAC systems over time Existing HVAC systems are being asked to support higher expectations around indoor air quality, energy performance, operational visibility, and occupant experience than ever before. But...
There’s been a lot of discussion around ASHRAE 62.1, 241 and what it means for building design. But for many teams, the bigger question is: What’s the difference—and what does it mean for how clean air is delivered in a space? We broke it down in a...
Why wildfire smoke is becoming a condition engineers must plan for For decades, HVAC systems have been designed around semi-predictable environmental conditions: seasonal temperatures, humidity levels, and typical outdoor air quality. Wildfire smoke has...
For HVAC and building professionals, indoor air quality (IAQ) has become a mission-critical aspect of environmental control, energy optimization, and occupant health. It is no longer just a wellness add-on. IAQ is now essential for mitigating disease transmission,...
A generational shift is redefining what employees expect from their workplace, and clean indoor air is moving from a “nice to have” to a non-negotiable. Clean air now influences not only health and performance but also how an organization is perceived as an...
The conversation around school safety and student wellness has expanded beyond test scores and emergency drills. Today, it includes the air students breathe. As we learn more about how indoor air quality (IAQ) affects cognitive function, attendance, and overall...
The pandemic reshaped corporate real estate. As remote work surged and office occupancy rates dropped, many organizations reevaluated their space needs. In an effort to cut costs and align with hybrid schedules, companies downsized square footage, consolidated...
In the conversation about indoor air quality (IAQ), particulate filters often take center stage. But when it comes to tackling pollutants you can’t see or smell, activated carbon filters quietly do the heavy lifting. From volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to lingering...
The visible damage from fires, floods, and industrial accidents is only part of the story. What lingers in the air afterward, such as smoke particles, chemical fumes, mold spores, or toxic dust, can continue to affect indoor environments long after the event itself.
