The American Industrial Hygiene Association® (AIHA) announced its partnership with the Indoor Air Quality Association (IAQA) to produce the first-ever Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Practitioners Body of Knowledge (BoK).
Commercial building codes are mandating higher volumes of fresh-air intake than ever before. To help meet these ventilation requirements, more and more HVAC contractors and building owners are turning to dedicated outdoor air systems (DOAS).
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.
If contractors get a whiff of mold and mildew, the homeowner can smell it, too. It’s the perfect starting point for a conversation about humidity control.
