Three Basic Strategies
Source Control
Typically, the most effective strategy to enhance indoor air quality is to eliminate or reduce particular sources of pollution. Some sources, such as those containing asbestos, can be sealed or enclosed, while others, such as gas stoves, can be adjusted to reduce emissions. Because improving ventilation can raise energy costs, source management is often a more cost-effective strategy to safeguard indoor air quality than increasing ventilation.
Ventilation Improvements
Increasing the amount of outdoor air that enters your home is another way to reduce the amounts of indoor air pollutants. The majority of home heating and cooling systems, including forced air heating systems, do not provide fresh air mechanically. When the weather permits, open windows and doors, operate window or attic fans, or run a window air conditioner with the vent control open to boost the outdoor ventilation rate. Local bathroom or kitchen fans that exhaust outside eliminate impurities from the room where they are installed while simultaneously increasing the pace of outdoor air circulation.
Air Cleaners
Air cleaners come in a variety of shapes and sizes, ranging from inexpensive table top versions to sophisticated and pricey whole-house systems. Some air cleaners are extremely good at removing particles, while others, such as most table-top ones, are not. Air cleaners shall be designed to remove dust pollutants (such as PM2.5, PM1), gaseous pollutants (such as VOCs, formaldehyde, odour, other harmful gases), bio pollutants (such as bacteria, virus, mold, fungus etc.)
Develop Your Plan
An IAQ preventive maintenance plan will help you develop a proactive approach for the routine inspection, cleaning, adjustment, and repair of building structures and systems, including the HVAC system, local exhaust ventilation, and flooring. IAQ preventive maintenance plays a major role in protecting building occupants health and performance through air quality maintenance, including temperature and humidity, by ensuring that the building systems are operating effectively and efficiently.
