Homes should provide a healthy sanctuary for their occupants, and HVAC can achieve that goal by providing better air quality and a constant flow of fresh and filtered air. However, better air quality comes at a cost. “We have a lot of solutions to improve air quality, but we have to be able to communicate the value of indoor air quality (IAQ) to get people to pay the added cost,” says Panasonic’s IAQ expert, Ken Nelson. “Anything that raises the price of a house diminish...

When it comes to measuring the airtightness of a home or building, and how much air is leaking into it, a blower door test is the universally accepted method. It’s why AeroBarrier uses the test as part of its air sealing process. A structure’s air change rate, or ACH, establishes a baseline of leakage before air sealing. During the AeroBarrier process, their software monitors the ACH as the technology seals leaks in the building envelope and dials in a precise level of airtight...
