Commercial Indoor Air Quality

RSS

October is National Indoor Air Quality Awareness Month and the Biden administration is working to ensure that IAQ remains in the spotlight as the pandemic fades into America’s rearview mirror.

Responding to increased public awareness of the importance of healthy indoor air quality, the hospitality industry is stepping up its game when it comes to providing guests with fresher, cleaner, and, sometimes, sanitized indoor air.

A recent study surveyed 1,500 workers between the U.S. and Canada and showed that not only do the majority of the respondents think about air quality, they worry about it.

The Indoor Air Quality category winners include an all-in-one thermostat system, an IAQ accessory, and a thermal dispersion fan inlet.

Despite increased federal funding around IAQ for K-12 schools, the most common ventilation strategies over the past year remain lower-cost options.

After years of neglect, school districts and local governments are finally investing in the HVAC systems at their facilities. Now, one state governor wants to keep the money flowing with grants marked for HVAC upgrades.

The pandemic increased awareness of the poor state of HVAC systems in many schools. Now, money for school IAQ projects is becoming available from a variety of sources.

The pandemic has caused IAQ to become a big concern, which has led industry experts to recommend increasing ventilation and upgrading filtration for commercial buildings.
