Why Indoor Air Quality Is So Important in Commercial Spaces

Monday, February 6th, 2023

Did you know that some studies have estimated that the indoor air quality (IAQ) of commercial buildings can be 3-4 times as poor as the outside air? Many business owners are surprised to learn that the air inside their buildings is often worse than outdoor air pollution. 

The reason so many commercial buildings have low indoor air quality today is because they are designed to be energy efficient and have tightly sealed construction. However, the drawback to this is that it prevents the circulation of fresh air. Tightly sealed doors and windows along with excellent insulation are great for energy efficiency but at the cost of increasing the number of pollutants inside.
