IAQ IQ: Indoor Air Quality and YouSmart Controls and ERVs: Enhance IAQ Effortlessly in Resimmercial SpacesAfter COVID-19, the criticality of high-level indoor air quality (IAQ) is clear. With invisible, odorless and potentially deadly indoor air contaminants swirling around, it’s evident that increased ventilation is essential for safeguarding occupant health. This is especially crucial in tight structures that trap contaminants indoors.However, more ventilation requires more energy, which boosts costs and runs counter to decarbonization efforts. Plus, conventional ventilation systems can be tricky and time-consuming to operate. Not anymore. That’s where the combination of smart controls and energy recovery ventilators (ERVs) comes in to provide an effortless, energy-efficient and cost-effective solution. This...2023-04-2619 min
10 Minutes to a Better Building with BolandHow to Get the Best Filtration With the Lowest Life Cycle CostThe costs of investing in good air quality for your building can come with a hefty price tag. As more and more companies and institutions look to pour money into improving their filters for better indoor air quality, or IAQ, additionally, there’s another challenge that appears when it comes to making the best HVAC decisions that will last long-term; money. The price of providing indoor air quality is dependent on building size, as some can be up to $10,000 per square foot for just HVAC replacement, not including maintenance. Of course, this varies but there are ways to avoid pa...2023-04-1213 min
