What is Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)?
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) refers to the air quality in a building or structure, breathed in every day by the building’s occupants.
Poor indoor air quality has been linked to sick building syndrome, ill health, reduced well-being and productivity, impaired learning in schools and delayed recovery in hospitals.
Polluted air is responsible for as many as 36,000 deaths a year in the UK, according to Public Health England (PHE).
HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems play a crucial role in maintaining good indoor air quality (IAQ)
HVAC systems come with air filters that trap airborne particles like dust, pollen and harmful chemicals to prevent them from circulating in the air. High-efficiency filters can even capture bacteria and viruses, improving IAQ. Daikin Applied utilises varying filter grades, dependent on local environment and the area being served.
HVAC systems can bring in fresh outdoor air and exhaust stale indoor air, improving air circulation and preventing the build-up of indoor pollutants. This is especially important in spaces where indoor pollutants are generated, such as hospitals and industrial buildings.
HVAC systems can regulate the humidity levels in indoor spaces, which can prevent the growth of mould and bacteria. Maintaining a relative humidity level between 30-60% is recommended for optimal IAQ and comfort.

Chillers and Heat Pumps
Chillers and heat pumps provide efficient cooling and heating, which helps to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature and humidity level. This can prevent the growth of mould and bacteria, which thrive in warm and humid environments.
Chillers and heat pumps can provide individual temperature control in different areas of a building. This can prevent overcooling or overheating in certain areas, which can lead to uncomfortable and unhealthy IAQ conditions.View the Range

Regular service and maintenance
It’s important to note that regular maintenance of chillers and heat pumps is necessary to ensure they are functioning properly and effectively improving IAQ. This includes cleaning and replacing air filters, checking refrigerant levels, and inspecting and cleaning coils and drains.
Dust and dirt can affect your ventilations systems and prevent them from maintaining an optimum air quality. Maintenance should include checking intakes and exhausts for signs of dirt build-up or damage. Inspections of ductwork and units should also be carried out on a regular basis.Find out More
AHU refurbishment to improve IAQ
As well as improving energy efficiency and day-to-day operation, upgrading an AHU can substantially extend its useful operating life and improve indoor air quality (IAQ).
This saves upfront capital costs and reduces environmental impact by minimising embodied carbon.Find out More
If your cooling equipment is running 24/7 throughout the year, it is inevitable that components may wear over time. This will impact the effectiveness of your HVAC system and impact Indoor Air Quality (IAQ), energy efficiency and the lifespan of your equipment.

Ubora wa hewa ya ndani (IAQ) Ubora wa hewa ndani (IAQ) inahusu ubora wa hewa katika jengo au muundo, kupumua katika kila siku na abiria wa jengo. Ubora mbaya wa hewa ndani ya nyumba umehusishwa na ugonjwa wa jengo la mgonjwa, afya mbaya, kupunguzwa kwa ustawi na uzalishaji, kupungua kwa kujifunza katika shule na kucheleweshwa kwa kupona katika hospitali. Uchafuzi wa hewa ni sababu ya vifo vya watu 36,000 kila mwaka nchini Uingereza, kulingana na Shirika la Afya ya Umma la Uingereza (PHE). HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, na Air Conditioning) mifumo ya kucheza jukumu muhimu katika kudumisha nzuri ndani ya hewa ubora (IAQ) HVAC mifumo kuja na filters hewa kwamba mtego hewa chembechembe kama vumbi, chavua na kemikali hatari ili kuzuia yao kutoka mzunguko katika hewa. Filters za ufanisi wa juu zinaweza hata kukamata bakteria na virusi, kuboresha IAQ. Daikin Applied hutumia viwango tofauti vya kichujio, kulingana na mazingira ya ndani na eneo linalotumika. HVAC inaweza kuleta hewa safi ya nje na hewa ya ndani ya hewa, kuboresha mzunguko wa hewa na kuzuia mkusanyiko wa uchafuzi wa ndani. Hii ni muhimu hasa katika nafasi ambapo uchafuzi wa ndani hutokezwa, kama vile hospitali na majengo ya viwanda. Vifaa vya HVAC vinaweza kudhibiti viwango vya unyevu katika nafasi za ndani, ambayo inaweza kuzuia ukuaji wa kuvu na bakteria. Uhifadhi wa unyevu wa jamaa kati ya 30-60% ni bora kwa ajili ya IAQ bora na faraja. Vifaa vya Usimamizi wa Heating na Ventilation (AHU) - Vifaa vya Usimamizi wa Heating na Ventilation (AHU) vinahakikisha kwamba sehemu zote za jengo lako hupokea hewa safi iliyochapishwa kwa viwango bora vya joto na unyevu vinavyohitajika kwa operesheni inayohitajika. Daikin Applied UK ina aina ya vifaa vya usindikaji hewa vinavyofaa kwa matumizi yoyote, ikiwa ni pamoja na HTM-03, Data Center, Pharmaceutical na Biashara.
