“There's growing awareness that indoor air quality matters, but it's more complicated than just moving air around the home,” says Green Builder Editor-in-Chief Matt Power in the opener of this five-minute IAQ video.
“Having the [four attributes] in balance is what good IAQ is,” Hillenmeyer notes. “There isn’t a single solution that does that for every home. There’s not a single solution that does it for every season. … As the awareness about IAQ grows that’s going to lead to an understanding of all the attributes that make it up and that the fact that you do need a diff set of products depending on the type of home you are in and the location you are to deliver that effectively.”
Hillenmeyer goes through the products that solve particular IAQ issues and also addresses the myth at ERVs are the cure-all for all IAQ issues. He also walks through a hypothetical house scenario, offering pointers that can help can builders decide which products to use for various situations.
