Beyond HVAC IAQ in Commercial Environments

In this episode of The Engineers HVAC Podcast, guest host Chris Adams, PE, Vice President of Engineering at Insight Partners, steps in for Tony Mormino to explore the crucial topic of indoor air quality (IAQ) in commercial environments. Joined by Jason Jones, Senior Director of Field Sales at Fellowes, and Mitch Rydholm, Director of Training and Dealer Development at Fellowes, the discussion dives deep into holistic strategies for enhancing IAQ. 

The conversation covers the importance of IAQ, particularly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, and examines various factors that impact air quality, including VOCs, CO2 levels, and particulate matter. The guests share valuable insights on how improved IAQ can lead to better cognitive function, reduced absenteeism, and overall healthier and more productive workplaces. 

Listeners will learn about the benefits of source control, improved ventilation, and advanced air cleaning technologies. The episode also highlights the latest standards and guidelines, such as ASHRAE 241, which set out requirements for infection risk management and pathogen-free airflow. 

Join us for an informative session that not only addresses current challenges but also offers practical solutions for creating healthier indoor environments.
