A building's air filtration requirements are among the most important factors when upgrading or replacing HVAC equipment. The right air filters are essential for keeping a healthy and comfortable indoor environment. In this short article, we discuss the importance of filtration requirements when upgrading HVAC equipment and air filters.
Different buildings and industries have additional air filtration requirements. For example, a hospital or an industrial facility may have other filtration needs than an office building. It is necessary to consult with an air filtration professional to determine the exact requirements and recommendations for your building or facility.
We recommend a minimum filtration efficiency of MERV-13 (with MERV-14 or higher being even better) to prevent airborne transmission of viral diseases such as COVID-19. Filters with higher MERV ratings can collect a greater percentage of infectious particles, assisting in maintaining a safer indoor environment.
However, upgrading HVAC equipment and selecting adequate air filters can be difficult because several factors must be addressed. These considerations include the size of the building, occupancy, usage, and special air quality requirements. It is important to consult an air filtration professional to ensure that you make the best decisions for your building's specific needs.
