Trained to identify the varying types of asbestos used in old buildings, Matt Mountain of Mountain Duct Cleaning knows what he’s looking for.

More and more travelers are ranking air quality as an important factor when deciding where to stay — here’s how the HVAC industry can help tip the scales for hotels.

Without the ductwork found in traditional systems, ductless mini splits rely on advanced filtration, aftermarket accessories, and regular maintenance to maintain optimal indoor air quality.

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.
