Bipolar Ionization Statistics & Air Cleaning Technology Trends (2026)

Improving indoor air quality and reducing energy consumption are often treated as competing priorities. The common thinking is that when you invest more in ventilation and fresh air, energy costs go up. The ASHRAE 62.1 Indoor Air Quality Procedure (IAQP) challenges that assumption directly.

The air inside your building is doing a lot of work. It affects how occupants feel and how long they stay. It’s also subject to evolving regulations and directly tied to energy consumption. Facility managers are expected to balance it all, and the stakes are high. The wrong IAQ approach can lead to ...

The numbers don't lie. Across hotels, universities, K–12 schools, and houses of worship, one shift in ventilation strategy is consistently delivering hundreds of thousands of dollars in capital savings. The tool is ASHRAE 62.1's Indoor Air Quality Procedure. The system making it work is smartIAQ®.

Bad Smells, Lost Sales: 41% Say Odor Is a Bigger Air Quality Red Flag Than a Virus Outbreak In the absence of visible air data, Americans are relying on their senses to judge indoor air quality, and foul odors are pushing them out of public spaces fast.

When the Indoor Air Quality Procedure Matters Most: Designing for Ventilation Efficiency and Cost Savings

A new position paper titled Measuring Matters: Deploying the Indoor Air Quality Procedure with Confidence examines how recent advancements in monitoring technology can address implementation challenges associated with the Indoor Air Quality Procedure (IAQP) in ASHRAE Standard 62.1. This blog ...

The pursuit of more energy-efficient buildings often overlooks one of the largest potential savings opportunities: optimizing ventilation through ASHRAE 62.1 Indoor Air Quality Procedure (IAQP). While many building designers default to the prescriptive Ventilation Rate Procedure (VRP), the IAQP ...
