By Chris Plummer, Product Manager, Gil-Bar Solutions
A recent episode of 60 Minutes highlighted the critical role of Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) in buildings. The episode underscored how IAQ can significantly impact occupant health, particularly in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.
It centered on the critical role of HVAC systems potentially could have played in controlling the spread of COVID-19 if buildings were equipped with latest technologies. The episode emphasized the increasing importance of newer buildings outfitted with modern HVAC systems, which are becoming a significant factor for newer residents.
“The pandemic was a wake up call for all engineers to look at the way buildings are designed and run. We need to be proactive in how we can utilize technology to make the spaces we live and work suitable. There are many cost effective ways to make new and existing spaces suitable for the people in them,” says Chris Plummer, a Gil-Bar Product Manager.
