IAQ must be prioritized from both a financial and moral perspective.

Efficiency versus effectiveness: Examining true air cleaner performance.

Applicable to large, open, indoor spaces with low occupancy as well as to warehouses, the findings are based on more than 220 parametric computational-fluid-dynamics (CFD) simulations varying worker and packing-line locations and fan speed (20%-100%) with and without racking.

Recognizing the role of nature in airborne disease transmission is a major step in the path to comprehend the past and address the future.

The study was conducted over 30 months with more than 100,000 patient-days. Following implementation of advanced air purification technology, HAIs at St. Mary’s went from an average of 11.9/1,000 patient-days to an average of 6.6/1000 patient-days — a 45% reduction.

When it comes to emerging IAQ technologies, exercise caution and do your homework.

The newest addition, the AirAssure™ 8144-2, a two-gas model designed to help end users understand and manage common indoor air pollutants utilizes low-cost sensor technology to continuously monitor carbon dioxide (CO2), total volatile organic compounds (tVOC), particulate matter (PM), and other indoor air conditions.

James Kim, superintendent of parks, Vernon Hills Park District, shares how his park — in conjunction with Trane — effectively implemented a solar array atop the district’s maintenance facility and shares some of the eye-opening data since the installation. 

In the US, for every dollar spent on health care benefits, another 61 cents is spent on illness-related absences and reduced work output.
