So far I've watched 25 mins of this presentation and I already feel like an IAQ expert. Ryan, excellent presentation. I will be visiting the Goto link for the detailed presentation. Thanks for sharing.
What causes stuffiness, at home when I am in one room I tend to get stuffy and cannot breathe through my nostril, so I have to breathe through my mouth and get dehydrated.
It depends on what you are trying to do and what your budget is. Ryan, the instructor in the video, has had a PCO type device in his supply plenum and a Carrier Infinity filtration system and has been happy with the results of that combo since 2015.
Check out the aerus air scrubber advanced if you have a central HVAC. I am not a allergenic person my mother in law is and her dogs. I installed one in her leaky split system air duct system supply side without telling her, a week later I asked her how where her allergies when at home she didn't realize until I brought it up she said you know what I'm not itchy nor sneezing as much anymore. Point being the thing works!
It would be great customer service to actually test for radon as that might be the solution to their air quality issue. I'm sure it would be appreciated. It is a serious health problem that many are not aware of. (Especially in the United States.)
Yes, radon is a specific pollutant that has specific mitigation strategies. It requires encapsulation and direct exhaust. There is pretty much an entire industry devoted specifically to radon testing and remediation. This webinar, however, was specific to HVAC which is not generally involved in the radon industry.
We were not familiar with that product brand so we googled it. It looks to be a high MERV with a decent pressure drop. It is pretty large, though. Plus it is just a filter, which means it is re-active. It waits for bad stuff to come to your unit to deal with it. We like proactive solutions that go out into the actual home to deal with germs. A SecureAire filter would be a better choice that Perfect 16. SecureAire has almost as high of a MERV rating as Perfect 16, but it has a better pressure drop plus it is proactively gathers particles from the space. That would be the way to go. If you have your heart set on Perfect 16, combine it with a needlepoint bi-polar ionizer (such as Global Plasma Solutions) or an oxidizer (such as Respicaire OXY4) so you can add that proactive component.
Yes. Weird meaning anything other than your own foods you grew up with. Many, many customers in multi-family buildings complain about smelling whatever ethnic foods their neighbors are cooking.
Excellent presentation! Been working in this field almost 10 years and this is by far one of the most informative webinars I've come across. Great presenter that kept me engaged in the vid.
This is a great video, but you left out the research from institutions like Harvard and UC Berkely that have found that the hydroxyl radicals created by PCO can react with certain VOC's and create aldehydes and other carcinogens. Our industry needs to be very careful playing with chemistry we don't fully understand yet.
While oversizing is less detrimental in the "B and C climate zones" of the west, you still do not want to intentionally oversize. There are many benefits to correctly sizing than just humidity control.
We are not exactly sure what you are asking. If you are looking for a tool that does "overall IAQ" measurements for residential homes, check out CPS's IAQPro or AirAdvice. They can track and report on things like temp, humidity, particulates, carbon dioxide, VOCs, etc. However, if you have a specific issue you are trying to check, then you will want to get a tool that checks that specific thing, such as a particle counter, methane gas detector, etc.
Why would you want to capture CO2 from the incoming outdoor air? CO2 is not a pollutant to the human body at normal levels. And outdoor air is generally only 450-525 PPM, which is very, very low. Indoor levels are higher (600-1200 PPM for properly ventilated buildings) but only because CO2 is exhaled by people.
Never heard of it so we Googled it.

Yea I agree he does a really good job with the power point too

Is it allowed to share your great video to my friends?
Ryan, Great presentation. Thanks.
Good information. Should it be sick building or sickening building syndrome?
Thank you.
Sick
Wow, this is such an insightful post! Thank you for sharing this valuable information
with us.
Thanks for this marvelous presentation.....helped in my research paper

Great course that covers a lot of material. Thank you so much for posting this, I would like to use it for my IAQ research.
Have NO idea how this ended up on my feed.....WAS NOT time wasted though!😉👍
Very good presentation!
Ok
If you live out West, you don't want to lose humidity in the summer, it's usually too dry already.
So it may be okay to have an oversized AC unit.
While oversizing is less detrimental in the "B and C climate zones" of the west, you still do not want to intentionally oversize. There are many benefits to correctly sizing than just humidity control.
Really useful information thank you.
Great video!
Thank You!
excuse me, i need your sources that devide the causes to particulate, microbial and gases.
What do you mean "devide the causes?"
classification, sorry.
This is a great presentation. Is there anyway you could share the slides used?
Thanks, I acquired great information 👍
Can you please guide us that..How can we make report on indoor air quality of home..No of parameters we should consider?

If I wanted to measure the degree of body odor, cat, dog, human urine and fesces in a room or outside a door, is there a way to do that?
The sniff test should be sufficient for those...
Great webinar! Thank you!
