The global ventilation equipment market will reach $25 billion in revenues in 2017 and is estimated to reach $40 billion by 2025, expanding at 5.5 percent compound annual growth rate (CAGR), per a recent report from Persistence Market Research (PMR).
Welding fumes aren’t good to breath, and all regulatory agencies agree that welding fumes should be directed away from the welder’s breathing zone when local exhaust ventilation (LEV) is being used. While all fumes are bad, some fumes are recognized as more hazardous than others. One such fume is hexavalent chromium, which is produced when welding stainless steel and other materials containing chromium.
Being accountable for proper airflow delivery causes a tech to examine every portion of an installation differently. Airflow is no longer assumed since test instruments now measure it. Let’s look at some of the most common obstacles to achieving a successful air balance on a residential HVAC system.
The Smart Building Gateway (SBG) provides continuous ventilation management system monitoring from any internet connection. Via the SBG, facility managers and contractors can gain instant, live access to all air-quality parameters and immediately determine whether the ventilation management system is operating at optimal efficiency and maintaining healthy IAQ.
