Indoor Air Quality

RSS

The Indoor Air Quality category winner is an in-duct system that actively works to improve residential IAQ.

New research shows that extreme wildfires have doubled in both their frequency and intensity over the last 20 years.

Over time, dirt, dust, pet dander, debris, and more accumulate in air ducts. And since the HVAC system works basically as a whole-home vacuum, all of that is recirculated through homes when the HVAC system runs, unless the ducts are cleaned out.

In order to effectively help and protect their homeowners during these events, HVAC contractors have to observe, educate, and ask the right questions.

As a combined solution, there are several tools and strategies that can help building managers achieve the balance between enhancing IAQ and managing energy spend to create healthier, smarter, and more sustainable buildings.

The manufacturers of HVAC products for indoor farming say their equipment can help optimize growers’ crop yields.

The duct system plays a pivotal role in customer comfort so HVAC technicians should be familiarized with air balance testing principles to get to the heart of the issues.

For contractors in humid climates, a lot of the comfort they provide is through being able to control humidity levels, which can be aided by adding a secondary dehumidification system.

If an HVAC contractor possesses knowledge pertaining to IAQ solutions and how to approach the subject with a homeowner, they are in a good spot to sell the equipment.
