Indoor Air Quality in San Antonio

The quality of air indoors is necessary for breathing easy and living a healthy life regardless of whether it is a home or a work environment. The majority of people do not give importance to this fact. They are also not aware that often the quality of air that is found inside their homes is perhaps worse than what they would experience outdoors.

Importance of Good Indoor Air Quality

Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning systems are designed to work in unison and in an effective way so that homes and offices stay adequately ventilated and sources of indoor pollution are reduced.

Houses and offices with proper HVAC systems will offer good indoor air quality, thereby reducing health issues. In the past centuries, ventilation was never considered a major issue because people had sufficient intake of outdoor air by opening their windows and with the help of air coming inside their houses through the walls. As the duct systems were built a little tighter in the houses to save energy, contaminants were trapped inside and concerns increased regarding the quality of indoor air. Today, people spend almost eighty percent of their time indoors in their houses and offices. Residents also rarely open the windows in order to reduce energy costs or for security issues. They also want to be protected from drafts and dirt from the outside environment.

Steps to Improve Indoor Air Quality

There are ways in which home owners and office managers can maintain good indoor air quality. Proper ventilation methods need to be created for bathrooms, laundry rooms, kitchens and toilets. Quiet and energy-efficient fans need to be used for ventilation.

It is better to avoid location of duct work, air conditioners and furnaces in those spaces and garages where they can attract contaminants into the houses or offices.

Fireplaces and wooden stoves have to be given proper ventilation. Outdoor air intake and use of tight doors is essential whenever possible.

Furnaces and water heaters should be power-vented. They must be combustion-sealed. The natural applications of draft have to be tested for proper venting and they have to be located outside the spaces that are being occupied, whenever possible.

The use of combustion sources that are vent-free like candles, cigarettes and indoor barbecue equipment has to be minimized. Heaters that do not have proper ventilation can also act as a source of combustion.
