Today we spend more time indoors than ever before, generating higher concentrations of airborne pollutants as a result of our activities. Plus, our customers have greater access to information and greater awareness about the importance that indoor air quality has on health.
IAQ and “The Other Elephant in the Room”
Homes constructed after the 1970s energy crisis followed the ‘build tight’ mantra. This approach resulted in some significant IAQ challenges due to lack of ventilation, and people are developing building-related illnesses at higher rates than ever.
Post-Covid customers demand IAQ. They know the HVAC system plays a pivotal role in ensuring quality IAQ inside buildings.
However, we must also address the other elephant in the room – HVAC system operations and its energy usage. We’ve seen extreme cases where the power company remotely increases indoor temperatures during summer peak hours to reduce electricity demand on the grid.
We know that our energy infrastructure has its limitations. Our forecasted electricity demand is increasing faster than new power generating capacity is being created. Air conditioning systems require more power than any other appliance in most
buildings.
Let the High-Performance HVAC companies provide customers with a shared focus on improving IAQ and HVAC system performance!
