WHY IS INDOOR AIR QUALITY IMPORTANT?

According to the EPA, indoor air quality (IAQ) refers to how the air quality in and around your business impacts the health and safety of your facility's inhabitants. A building with poor interior air quality, for example, could expose its occupants to pollutants, allergies, and microorganisms. This exposure can irritate the eyes, nose, and throat and headaches, dizziness, fatigue, and sickness. Long-term negative effects can include heart problems, cancer, and certain respiratory illnesses. Now is the time to plan for healthy, safer facilities and comfort by adding HVAC solutions that address air quality.

HOW TO IMPROVE INDOOR AIR QUALITY

Indoor air quality can be improved with HVAC preventative maintenance and system optimization. Strategies include proper ventilation and humidity control, air dilution, proper CFM, clean coil surfaces, HVAC disinfecting technologies, proper filtration, air purification and building controls. 


Easy approaches to improve your facilities IAQ are to start with preventative maintenance and replace your HVAC system's air filters on a regular basis, clean condensate pans and drains to deter the formation of mold and bacteria and clean coil surfaces with biodegradable environmentally friendly cleaners to assure equipment is operating at maximum capacity and efficiency. Filters should be changed quarterly, but this can vary based upon the level of efficiency of the filters and particle levels in the space. Additionally, consideration can be given for Respicaire air sterilizers, purifiers, clean air ionization technology and clean ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI). These strategies are answers to fight COVID-19 and future mutations by disinfection coils, ductwork, and surfaces, destroying infectious agents and purifying the air supplied by the HVAC system to building occupants. 


Jensen’s installed two OXY 4-MB air purifiers from Respicaire in the air handling unit at a large flavoring producer. The OXY 4 air purifier, based on photocatalytic oxidation, is a popular air purifier solution incorporating two modules to scale up for a large commercial space.

The Energy Benefits of Indoor Air Quality Services

Using IAQ services to maintain optimum indoor air quality and humidity levels has several environmental and energy-related advantages. Improving your IAQ will help you save money on your monthly energy expenses. Clean HVAC coils result in improved heat transfer so equipment does not have to work as hard to maintain comfort. In addition, IAQ services can lessen the environmental impact on your operation by monitoring CO2 levels and other particles and pollutants in the indoor environment. In addition to improved indoor air quality global warming and climate change are reasons to look at upgrading and systems to environmentally friendly refrigerants and higher efficiency equipment to reduce your carbon footprint. A carbon footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gases (including carbon dioxide and methane) that are generated by our actions. Improve the indoor environment and positively impact global warming and climate change to contribute to the safety and health of your building's residents and our community.
