IAQ U by Build Equinox: The Perfect Dust Storm
Particulates pollute the air we breathe, creating havoc in our lungs and throughout our bodies. Sometimes outdoors is dustier than indoors, and sometimes indoor environments have more particulates. As we've sealed our homes for improved energy efficiency, indoor environments have increased in particulates in homes without effective air quality management.
In this podcast we discuss the impact of particulates and how to manage them.

IAQ U by Build Equinox: Designing IAQ n Ventilation for the Future
Today's ventilation standards (ASHRAE 62.1 and 62.2) are inadequate now. Increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide will further push the need for higher ventilation levels to keep indoor air healthy and productive. Join our discussion of current and future ventilation needs.

IAQ U by Build Equinox: What is IAQ?
The late Professor Ole Fanger was a visionary in air quality and comfort. He asked a simple question: is air that doesn't smell healthy? Further, does odorless air quality impact human performance?
This podcast discusses an overview paper by Professor Fanger discussing air quality.

IAQ U by Build Equinox: Carbon Monoxide & Radon IAQ Standards
Carbon monoxide, from incomplete combustion of fossil fuels, and radon indoor air quality standard are discussed. Carbon monoxide is poisonous, and must be actively monitored in any home with fossil fuel (eg, natural gas, propane) usage. Radon, a soil gas that can vary widely house by house, is a significant source of lung cancers.

IAQ U by Build Equinox: Healthy IAQ Standard Particulates
Particulates impact health in multiple manners and must be controlled to keep indoor environments healthy. We discuss Build Equinox recommendation for particulate management in this podcast. Two particulate measures are important: Particulate Mass, or "PM", and a newer parameter, Particulate Count, or "PC".
PM is important for larger particulates (greater than 1 micron), such as road dust and cooking. PC represents smaller (less than 1 micron) such as human released particulates (microbes) and wildfire smoke.

IAQ U by Build Equinox: VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) and Healthy Air
VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) and recommended limits for healthy air based on human VOC outputs are discussed. VOCs should be maintained less than 125ppb, which in association with keeping carbon dioxide below 800ppm, are air quality levels than avoid SBS (Sick Building Syndrome), minimize airborne disease transmission, and improve sleep and cognition.
