IAQ Complaints: The Usual Suspects
Most Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) complaints are due to odors, gases, molds, and viruses in the air. Although particulate filters will remove some larger airborne particles, these contaminants will remain airborne unless actively removed. Ideally, any IAQ solution should not interfere with existing air handling equipment, add additional static pressure (thus, increasing energy consumption) or add to the maintenance of the overall HVAC system.
