Across the country, states are enacting new legislation to improve indoor air quality (IAQ) in K–12 schools. These laws and programs aim to ensure proper ventilation for the health of students and professionals, as well as the overall well-being of the building environment. 

 

Not only is controlling ventilation a key strategy for fighting pollutants, but maintaining proper building pressurization is also essential. Building pressure is controlled by accurately controlling all flows in and out of the building. Maintaining a positive building pressure will prevent unfiltered air and moisture from entering through the building envelope. It is essential for energy and health that air from outdoors enters the HVAC system, where it can be adequately heated, cooled, and filtered.
