WASHINGTON, DC — Responding to a rise in health problems attributed to poor indoor air quality (IAQ), the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) has formed an alliance with Aircuity Inc., a producer of Internet-enabled IAQ monitoring systems, to help property owners, managers, and homeowners control IAQ in commercial and residential spaces, including office buildings, healthcare facilities, schools, and light industrial buildings.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), sick building syndrome (SBS) now affects 10% to 25% of all buildings. Over 5 million IAQ problems are reported per year in the U.S., leaving building managers challenged to provide investigative air screening.
