IAQ Insights

Indoor air quality is no longer a comfort issue - it is a public health, productivity, and infrastructure challenge.

IAQ Insights is a curated source of evidence-based guidance, independent testing, and real-world implementation insight on indoor air purification and HVAC-integrated air quality solutions.

It is written for policy makers, ministries, healthcare leaders, developers, engineers, and facility owners who require more than theory. It reflects nearly two decades of practical experience delivering proven, independently validated air purification technologies across commercial, healthcare, education, hospitality, and government environments.

This is not opinion-led commentary. It is decision-grade intelligence designed to support policy, specification, and long-term investment in healthy, high-performance buildings.
