Indoor Air Quality
Indoor air quality is an often overlooked aspect of the home comfort system
There are several things to consider when looking into indoor air quality products.
- How well does it capture particles?
- Does it kill viruses and bacteria?
- How often must it be maintained?
- What are the costs associated with maintenance?
- Does it create a substantial restriction to air flow?
How about filters
Some of the best “filters” do a very good job of filtering the air but they are so tightly woven that the air is restricted causing the air distribution to suffer.
Others products do a good job of killing bacteria and viruses but do not capture particles whatsoever. Here are the things to look for –
- Merv Rating (minimum efficiency reporting value) = the efficiency at which a filter captures very small (0.3 -1.0 microns) particles
- Resistance to air flow measured in static pressure drop
- How much does the replaceable media (if any) cost
- How often must it be cleaned or replaced
- What are the kill rates on various strains of virus and bacteria and how often must the virus / bacteria be exposed before it dies?
