Camfil Canada, a global leader in air filtration solutions, has published a detailed article offering practical advice and insights into the latest ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers) and CSA (Canadian Standards Association) air filtration standards. This resource aims to help facility managers and building owners ensure optimal indoor air quality (IAQ) while improving energy efficiency and regulatory compliance.
Covering both residential and commercial applications, Camfil Canada's guide emphasizes how proper air filtration standards, such as those developed by ASHRAE and CSA, play a critical role in reducing allergens, pollutants, and airborne viruses. These improvements not only promote occupant health and comfort but also minimize energy costs and can help meet building codes.
“Air filtration is about more than just comfort; it directly impacts the health of building occupants and system energy efficiency,” says Berni Baier, an air filtration expert at Camfil Canada. He adds, “To achieve the best HVAC performance and air quality, regularly inspect systems for mould, excess water or humidity, and clogged filters. Design for the future by allowing space for additional filtration options such as activated-carbon filters to address issues like wildfire smoke or for energy savings.”
Key topics covered in the article include:
-
Updates to ASHRAE Standards: Guidelines for enhancing IAQ in commercial buildings, healthcare facilities, and residential buildings.
-
CSA Z317.2: Special requirements for HVAC systems in healthcare settings, focusing on infection control, air pressure, and temperature standards.
-
Energy Efficiency in Air Filtration: Choosing filters with a lower average pressure drop to decrease energy consumption and operational costs.
-
Practical Tips for Facility Managers: Advice on long-term cost analysis, maintenance, retrofitting existing systems, and selecting advanced filtration systems.
Facility managers and building owners are encouraged to leverage these evolving standards and expert advice to better prepare their buildings for future challenges, from energy cost reduction to future pandemic preparedness.
