Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) refers to the condition of the air inside buildings and enclosed spaces, particularly as it relates to the health, comfort, safety, and performance of occupants.
IAQ is determined by the presence and concentration of airborne and surface contaminants, including:
-
Particulate matter (PM2.5, PM1, PM0.3)
-
Biological contaminants (bacteria, viruses, mould, spores)
-
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
-
Carbon dioxide (CO₂)
-
Odours and gaseous pollutants
In modern buildings - especially those operating in hot, dusty climates with continuous air-conditioning - IAQ is shaped by HVAC-Integrated design, filtration, ventilation strategies, building materials, occupancy density, and operational practices.
Indoor air quality is a hot topic right now for all sorts of reasons:
- Post Covid
- Human Health and wellness
- Wellness at work
- Energy savings
- Productivity
To name but a few! You need the best possible advice available to navigate your way to the best HVAC air purification system for your home, office or business enterprise.
With a wide variety of HVAC-integrated active air purification
solutions available we believe it is important that the facts, the technology, the independent scientific results and the field validated testing for each of these clean air technologies is made available. In this way informed decisions can be made about the choice of an air cleaning system
Our expertise lies in integrating proven air purification technologies into HVAC systems - often delivering cleaner air at zero or near-zero incremental capital cost. We are a publisher of IAQ Insights for governments, healthcare, and the built environment as well as a Knowledge Centre covering all aspects of Indoor Air Quality.
