With recent research showing that ultrafine particles are more hazardous to human health than originally thought, higher-efficiency filters should be used, according to the newly published 2015 version of ASHRAE’s residential IAQ guideline.
The National Air Filtration Association (NAFA) has announced the recipients of its Clean Air Awards for 2015. The awards are presented each year to building owners and managers that take steps to significantly improve IAQ by increasing the level or efficiency of their HVAC air filtration system in 10 specific categories.
The 24-V Hornet™ UV-C lamp fixture provides cleaner, healthier air, and it improves airflow and heat-exchange efficiency levels, which helps to reduce energy use in residential and light commercial HVAC systems.
Kevin Barnum, vice president for the 50-year-old privately held HVAC distributor, received the partnership plaque that honors Victor’s continuing business loyalty and sales success selling Fresh-Aire UV’s BlueTube, AHU Series, APCO lifetime carbon system, and commercial products over the last decade.
Philanthro™ today is unveiling a new line of HVAC air filters that engage customers in a charitable cause. The company is raising awareness through a 30-day crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo where consumers will have the opportunity to be among the first to support the new brand and receive rewards in return for their support.
The REME Halo™ whole-home air purifier from RGF® Environmental Group Inc. has earned a reputation among contractors not only for its ability to improve IAQ, but also for its ease of installation and stellar customer support.
The EM Profi collector uses long-life coarse and fine filter demisters followed by a final-stage HEPA filter with combined efficiencies of 99.9 percent on particles of 0.3 micron and larger.
Most of the time, it will be possible to come up with a solution to an IAQ problem, and contractors should take that opportunity to educate consumers on the health and comfort benefits of IAQ products.
The U.S. air purifiers market is projected to register a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 10 percent from 2015 to 2020, according to the TechSci Research report “United States Air Purifiers Market Forecast & Opportunities, 2020.”
