New Jersey — U.S. – According to recent research, the market for Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) is expected to exceed $7 billion by 2024. This, industry experts say, is attributable to a broader interest in attaining better indoor air quality for entities like commercial and industrial buildings. New standards and building code regulations are also leading many companies on a search for next-generation air filters that improve indoor air quality cost effectively. Leading clean air solutions provider, Camfil, has devised a plan to help building managers, developers, and owners who need assistance in selecting the right air filters for improving air filtration in their buildings. The company has launched a newly designed online catalog website equipped with cutting edge technical tools ..

New report predicts that the market for IAQ-related technologies will exceed $7 billion by 2024

With recent research demonstrating the benefits of high indoor air quality (IAQ) – and the perils of not attaining it — it is not surprising that the market for IAQ-related technologies is booming. As reported on January 5 by Environmental Leader, an environmental and energy management news site, a new report expects the market to grow from $4.2 billion in 2015 to $7.1 billion by 2024.

The report – released by the firm Navigant Research – looked at a wide range of IAQ-technologies, including those that measure indoor conditions and indicate whether desired IAQ has been attained or if remedial actions are necessary.

The expected growth of the IAQ technologies market follows recent findings that IAQ makes a big difference in both the health and productivity of those who live or work within i..

In China and other pollution-prone regions, measuring – and improving – indoor air quality is becoming increasingly important

As the health risks of indoor air pollution become more widely known – and feared – concerned citizens are taking matters into their own hands, proactively measuring air quality and working to improve it. New technology is helping them take these important steps.

As reported in the December 14 edition of the Los Angeles Times, the Laser Egg – a $79 product about the size of a large orange – has proven particularly popular in pollution-prone Beijing, where it is now regularly used to measure indoor air quality, or IAQ. Low IAQ is a potentially perilous condition, as it can put individuals at risk for respiratory diseases such as asthma, and even heart disease and cancer. In Beijing, the Laser Egg has become, the newspaper reports, “the stocking stuffer of the se..

The cost and effort required to improve indoor air quality are far less than many building professionals think

As the perils of poor indoor air quality (IAQ) become better understood, improving IAQ has become increasingly vital. Yet a recent survey by researchers at Drexel University has found that even among building professionals – the owners, managers, and designers of facilities – there is much confusion about the ease and costs of achieving cleaner indoor air.

The study, which was originally published in the journal Indoor Air, surveyed 112 building stakeholders, from architects to facility managers to tenants. It asked them about well-known steps for improving IAQ, including the use of air filters. Surprisingly, participants believed, on average, that such a step cost 10 times more than it actually would.

In fact, upgrading the air filter system is a minimally invasive process ..

By moving to high-efficiency filters, sprawling medical center achieves twin goals of higher air quality and lower costs

For one hospital within the famed Texas Medical Center – the largest life sciences destination in the world – purchasing air filters based on ‘first cost’ was a practice that didn’t quite turn out as expected. Instead of lowering air filtration expenses – no trivial expense considering the hospital’s 13 million square feet of indoor space – the first-cost strategy led to surprisingly high outlays. Not so surprisingly, it also led to the search for a better approach. This the hospital found by working with Camfil, the world’s leading provider of high efficiency clean air solutions.

The problem was that the low-cost filters quickly degraded, requiring increasing amount of energy to maintain the airflow and remove potentially harmful particles from the indoor environme..
