A breath of fresh air
HVAC Spot On
With the spread of COVID-19, the need for clean, healthy air is greater than ever. Research into historic acute respiratory cases found that an increase in air exchange rates significantly reduced the relative risk of transmission, demonstrating an urgent need to capitalize on HVAC engineering in order to fight future viruses.
Oaklins’ HVAC specialist, Philip Barker, reviews ways that technology can address growing demand for improved air quality and stringent new standards, and explains why some companies are seeking out merger partners in order to meet these technological challenges.
We look at the importance of indoor air quality and how recent developments in smart technology have contributed to its monitoring and control, citing Airedale International as a leading innovator in the field.
