Indoor air quality (IAQ) has been a primary topic of discussion over the past year. The COVID-19 pandemic pushed the issue to the front of the national news cycle, while many at the local level tried to find ways to combat the virus. The pandemic added to regular concerns of other health issues, such as the flu and viral sicknesses. Things began returning to normal over the past several months, but with new variants of COVID-19 beginning to arise, IAQ has once again become a very important discussion.
Because COVID-19 and other illnesses are easily transmitted through the air in interior spaces, IAQ will continue to be under a microscope for the foreseeable future. For those in the HVAC manufacturing industry, the need to provide solutions to improve IAQ is more important than ever.
