HVAC Filter Integration addresses the critical need for improved indoor air quality (IAQ) in buildings. It emphasizes a holistic approach to HVAC filtration, advocating for system-wide integration and advanced purification technologies beyond simple filter replacements. This book highlights how poor IAQ can negatively impact occupant health, reduce productivity, and increase energy consumption. Understanding filter technology and its integration becomes vital for architects, engineers, and building managers.
The book progresses from foundational air filtration principles, explaining filter types like MERV and HEPA, to examining filter compatibility with existing HVAC systems. It explores standards like ASHRAE and delves into whole-building purification methods, such as UV-C irradiation. Case studies illustrate real-world implementations in hospitals, schools, and offices.
The information is presented in a practical and informative tone, making it a valuable resource for professionals aiming to design sustainable buildings and maintain optimal IAQ.
