Clean Air is Essential in Maintaining the Design Capacity & Efficiency of HVAC Units & Clean Indoor Air is Important for Your Health
HVAC Cottonwood Filters, Indoor Air Quality & Ventilation Solutions
Ventilation & IAQ working together make buildings healthier, more efficient & sustainable
“Airborne transmission of all infectious aerosols is significant and should be controlled. Changes to building operations, including the operation of heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning systems, can reduce airborne exposures.”
The high standard of care for people inside buildings, also makes them more efficient and sustainable.
Clean the Air First
“It is the responsibility of building owners & businesses to insure IAQ in their indoor spaces and to reduce the risk of disease transmission.“
– National Strategy for Improving Indoor Air Quality – Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security –
ASHRAE Standard 241 establishes minimum requirements for controlling infectious aerosols and reducing the risk of disease transmission in new and existing buildings. Included are requirements for both outdoor air system and air cleaning system design, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance to reduce exposure to infectious aerosols.
Improving ventilation system performance with measurement & verification from
ACH to eACH to ECAi
Air Changes/Hour to Equivalent Air Changes/Hour to Equivalent Clean Air Flow/Person
Current minimum ventilation requirements in ASHRAE Standard 62.1 are not sufficient for infectious aerosol control or mitigation. Providing higher clean air rates as required in the new ASHRAE Standard 241-2023 can significantly contribute to creating safer and healthier indoor spaces. ACH (air changes/hour) is a measure of airflow relative to the room volume, it does not take into account occupancy. It is not a meaningful value when assessing the concentration of pollutants. The new metric is ECAi (equivalent clean air flow/person) which takes into account occupancy, room volume and the concentration of pollutants.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) updated its “Ventilation in Buildings” guidelines to include a discussion on “How much ventilation is enough?” to help prevent airborne disease transmission (5 ACH is often too much or not enough).
