Improper Air Filtration = Higher Energy Costs

Air filtration and maintaining healthy Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) levels are only a couple of the many different operational functions for which companies are responsible. And due to deferred maintenance, the significant impact of HVAC and filtration related decisions can often be overlooked. But analysis of energy spend can pay off in a significant way for Facility Management teams by indicating the optimal filtration system that will save them both money and time. Here are some IAQ and deferred maintenance facts:

Extensive Studies Show:

34% of American workers feel that poor IAQ had caused them to miss work

50% or more of energy spending is related to moving air

80% of Americans rate clean air as a very important priority – up from 75% in 2012

88% of facility managers say that deferred maintenance is an issue at their facility

The system most affected by deferred maintenance is HVAC

There are 175,268 pages on IAQ in the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations

56% of commercial maintenance teams actually admit that their IAQ maintenance is not carried out according to IAQ guidelines

Considering the above, it’s essential that Executives and Facility Management teams have a trusted advisor to support them in the optimal selection and operation of their air filtration systems.

Many companies turn to AAF International because they are:

  • Worried that their systems aren’t designed as well as they could be
  • Concerned about compliance risks
  • Frustrated by a lack of education and collaboration from their current suppliers
  • Worried that their Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) might be higher than it needs to be and want a second opinion
  • Concerned about productivity and absenteeism issues caused by poor IAQ

Deferred Maintenance

If you’re working in an environment with budget and time constraints, your organisation may have defaulted into a deferred maintenance scenario, which can create job backlogs. In this case, you’re likely reacting to issues, rather than preventing them.

Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)

Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) is a term that refers to the air quality in your building, breathed in every day by the building’s occupants. The pollution levels in indoor air can be up to 5 times higher than outdoor levels, and people spend more than 90% of their time indoors.
