Monday, September 13th, 2021
When you think about indoor air quality problems for your commercial facility, your mind probably goes directly to contaminants circulating through the ventilation system or various indoor pollutants. But one of the biggest issues for commercial indoor air quality is negative air pressure.
The simple definition of negative air pressure is that it’s when the air pressure inside the building is lower than the pressure outside the building. This often happens in commercial and industrial facilities because of over insulation designed to improve energy efficiency. If not enough outdoor air can enter because of the strong heat-sealing, the indoor pressure will be lower than the outside. Negative air pressure can also happen because of poorly constructed or damaged ventilation systems or malfunctioning equipment that draws on too much air inside the space.

Do You Need Commercial Air Purifiers for Your Business?
Monday, February 1st, 2021
Chances are high that the answer to this question is yes. Even most small homes today need to have some type of air purification system to help control the large number of contaminants that build up naturally inside residential buildings, as well as additional defenses against germs, bacteria, viruses, and mold spores. All of these are problems that commercial facilities face as well, and impurities in the air are not only a danger to people within the building, they can harm process and equipment.
Proper ventilation for the building is the first step in ensuring indoor air quality in a commercial property.

Finding the Right Commercial Air Purifiers for Your Business
Monday, August 3rd, 2020Climate control inside a commercial building is only one part of maintaining conditions that are conducive for process as well as the protection of the health of employees, clients, and other people in a facility. Proper indoor air quality control is essential: from humidity to the removal of dust, the air quality inside a building must present no obstacle against running your business from day to day.
No matter the size of your facility, you should look into installing commercial air purification systems in Toronto, ON.
