The article focuses on a study that establishes and demonstrates a comprehensive indoor air quality (IAQ) audit approach for hotel buildings in Portugal, using a 4-star hotel as a case study, measuring physical parameters, selected chemical indicators, and biological indicators.

The article focuses on Thermogenics Inc.'s acquisition of Plains Mechanical Services, a boiler company based in Sioux City, Iowa, to expand its service and boiler solutions reach in the north central region of North America and provide better service to customers in the food and beverage.

The article focuses on ASHRAE's issuance of guidance called "Design Guidance for Educational Facilities: Prioritization for Advanced Indoor Air Quality," which provides step-by-step instructions for educators, administrators, and school district leadership to improve the indoor air quality.

The author talks about Amazon's personal digital assistant (PDA) better known as Alexa. He discusses examples of how the younger generation applies PDAs to their everyday lives, significance of PDA technology in filter replacement process, and significance of PDA in the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) building industry.

The article emphasizes the importance of indoor air quality (IAQ) in schools. Topics covered include study findings which show how proper ventilation and good IAQ improve students' health and academic performance, the equipment considerations for school ventilation systems, such as dedicated outdoor air systems and energy recovery equipment, air filters and high-volume, low-speed fans, and the need for third-party performance verification of the manufacturer performance claims.

The article discusses that Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVACR) industry has continued to embrace clean energy through decarbonization; electrification; the adaptation of low-GWP refrigerants; and the introduction of local, state, and national efficiency regulations. It mentions that U.S. government has introduced its Net Zero World Initiative.

The article discusses about introducing IAQ monitoring, measuring, and reporting using performance contracting project delivery. It mentions about the project, HVAC infrastructure retrofit following a facility audit and capital project master plan with a focus on environmental management of the materials.

The article focuses on IAQ is a critical part of occupant health and wellness and this goes far beyond concerns related to COVID-19 and better IAQ is directly related to increased levels of cognitive function. Topics include the northern California does not have direct control over the forest fire that is blowing smoke toward the outdoor air intakes of the building, and the air treatment devices that are provided as part of the ventilation system to help mitigate the negative impacts of smoke.

The article focuses on pandemic has brought forth the importance of indoor air quality (IAQ) and its role in influencing the transmission of airborne viruses. Topics include the humans are also powerfully affected by IAQ, the thermal conditions, indoor gases, and particles can either support or undermine our immune systems, skin function, cognitive abilities, and overall sense of well-being, and the medical research that clearly ties good IAQ to healthy and more productive occupants.

The article offers information on the design approach to provide acceptable Indoor Air Quality within a building can vary significantly depending upon whether or not the installation is for new construction or the renovation of an existing building's mechanical system. It discusses to understand how ventilation (outside air/total airflow) changes with different types of Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems.

The article offers information on Manteca Unified School District in Northern California plans to use OptiClean air scrubbers in every classroom to provide improved indoor air quality (IAQ) across its facilities. It discusses that the OptiClean Dual-Mode Air Scrubber and Negative Air Machine has been named one of TIME's 100 Best Inventions of 2020; and mentions that OptiClean is one of a number of solutions offered through Carrier's Healthy Buildings Program.

The article reports that Friedrich Air Conditioning Co.'s FreshAire PTAC has been named the 2021 Commercial Comfort Product of the Year in the IAQ/Ventilation category. Topics include examines that it features active conditioned makeup air capabilities that allow engineers to decrease their reliance on whole building dedicated outdoor air (DOAS) systems.
