Commercial buildings need an indoor air quality plan that accounts for occupants, indoor pollutant sources and outdoor air. Building operation, maintenance and moisture control also affect the result. Filtration is one part of that plan.
Determine outdoor airflow from the applicable building requirements and the actual occupancy and use of the space. ASHRAE Standard 62.1 addresses ventilation and other measures for acceptable indoor air quality in the buildings within its scope. A single airflow value should not be applied to every commercial building.Managing indoor air quality combines source control, ventilation and filtration. Reduce or contain pollutant sources, provide the required ventilation, and select filters for the remaining contaminants. Particle filters and gas-phase filters address different pollutants; select gas-phase media for the identified gas and operating conditions.
Why Indoor Air Quality is Important?
Indoor air quality affects occupants’ comfort and health. Investigate concerns by checking pollutant sources, ventilation, moisture, filters and system maintenance.Identify the contaminants that need control, including particles, microorganisms, odours and gases from indoor activities or outdoor sources. The required controls depend on the actual source and pollutant.
Ulpatek offers cassette, bag, panel, rigid and V-compact filters for HVAC applications. Select the model and filtration stages for the system’s airflow, available space and required performance. Where gaseous pollutants also need control, choose gas-phase media for the identified compounds and conditions.
