Get Optimal Indoor Air Quality with EnerSavings’ HVAC System Solutions

It is 2022, and ensuring optimal indoor air quality (IAQ) has been at the top of every business owner’s mind, especially for the last couple of years. Business spaces will see an increase in contaminants like dust, pollen, bacteria, and viruses as the number of occupants increases. Inhaling this could result in headaches, fatigue, dizziness, allergies, and other respiratory problems. Age and other comorbidities can further aggravate this situation due to an already compromised immune system. Given below are a few ways to achieve optimal IAQ in your business space.

How to achieve optimal IAQ in your business space

Preventing contamination of your HVAC system is the best way to keep employees and visitors safe within your business space. Given below are a few tips on how you – a business owner or property manager – can do so.

1. Ensure HVAC system security

An HVAC system is a delicate piece of technology that must be touched only by authorized professionals. Install the outdoor units on the roof or in a place that is not accessible by everyone. Similarly, ensure the air vents are not at ground level – the more accessible, the higher the possibility of contamination.

2. Get a professional ventilation design

Good ventilation design is essential for smooth airflow within a business space. Not only can it help remove unwanted particles easily but also comes in handy if your property manufactures and contains toxic chemicals. Specialized designs can be implemented to purge such spills or leaks and ensure a high IAQ.

3. Install HEPA or MERV-13 Filters

HEPA or MERV-13 filters in your HVAC system are the best way to reduce COVID-19 transmission within a business space. They have been proven to block 99%+ contaminants and have very high efficiency ratings.

4. Conduct regular air tests

Timely cleaning and maintenance of your HVAC system will determine how well and long it runs. Conduct tests including checking airflow, ventilation, humidity levels, mold growth, odors as well as water damage. Get an annual maintenance contract from a professional as an end-to-end solution for optimal IAQ year-round, too.

5. Building Automation Systems (BAS)

BAS is an automated control system that can manage your HVAC system, lighting, security system, and more through a single interface. Remote control diagnostics help tell you when it is time to clean filters; it can also be set to shut down automatically in case of a chemical leak so most people indoors remain safe.

6. Variable Frequency Drives (VFD)

Controlling the speed of your pumps, fans, blowers, and compressors is of essence within an enclosed space. It can help keep occupants within each room comfortable. In addition, circulation within a room can be turned off completely in case of a chemical or toxic leak, thereby keeping others in the premises as safe as possible.
