\"commercial-air-duct-large\"Air quality inside buildings is often three to four times worse than the air outside. This is the opposite of what most people think when it comes to air quality, which is that air pollution is what occurs outside<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The concern with indoor air quality is severe when it comes to commercial buildings. Equipment and processes in a commercial facility create a large number of airborne contaminants: carbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds, smoke, chemicals, even bacteria and mold spores. Proper ventilation is a necessity to remove as many of these pollutants as possible, but facilities often need other IAQ measures.<\/p>\n

Some Basic Considerations<\/h2>\n

You can implement some simple measures in your facility to help stop unnecessary air pollution. Enforce no-smoking laws on the premises, store any food properly, keep all room vents open and unblocked, ensure fast and correct removal of garbage, and keep up with maintenance on all equipment that can release pollution into the air. Inform all employees to notify building management if they suspect IAQ issues due to respiratory problems, unpleasant odors, changes in humidity levels, etc.<\/p>\n

These steps are helpful, but for many large commercial facilities, they won\u2019t be enough. In these cases, commercial IAQ experts can offer installations and other solutions.<\/p>\n

You Only Need to Ask the Pros!<\/h2>\n

Trying to figure out what is lowering the air quality in your facility is too difficult if you have no background in IAQ or ventilation. Take the guesswork (and the wrong guesses) out of the equation and make life simpler by calling commercial IAQ experts from the start. We\u2019ve been working on HVAC for commercial and industrial facilities in the Greater Toronto Area for more than thirty years, so we have the training, experience, and equipment to target a building\u2019s air quality problems and solve them.<\/p>\n
