Upgrading from Indoor Air Quality to Indoor Air Safety
Indoor air quality (IAQ) is now a top priority as individuals spend 90% of their time indoors. Traditional HVAC systems focus on temperature, humidity, and basic air quality metrics such as carbon dioxide and VOCs. However, these systems often fail to address airborne pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, and mold spores. Airborne transmission is the primary pathway for many diseases, highlighting a critical gap in building safety.
