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 per 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.
