Get Your Indoor Air Quality Certification!
As a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) technician, part of your job is ensuring that the buildings you service maintain a comfortable environment for the people that live and work in them. Thanks to the various certification programs from Mainstream Engineering, your customers can be sure that you are caring for their working and living environments with each HVAC service you perform. Mainstream Engineering has awarded nearly 600,000 Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) certifications since 1994, and as a result, we are experts in HVAC certification programs.
In today’s post, we will discuss our indoor air quality (IAQ) certification, and how it can elevate your HVAC services to the next level. Read on to learn how we can help you ensure that your services do not harm the air quality in the buildings you service.
The Need for Good Indoor Air Quality
Recently, quite a bit of scientific evidence has shown that air pollution can be more serious within buildings rather than outside of them. This comes as a surprise to most people, since we typically picture things such as smoke stacks at power plants when we think of air pollution. Science has indicated that this conception of air pollution might be off base, and that we should worry more about air pollution inside of buildings.
If you are already an HVAC technician, then you probably understand that HVAC systems have a major impact on the air quality within buildings. As the term “air conditioning” suggests, HVAC systems are the main things used to control indoor air quality. Thus, when something goes wrong with indoor air quality, it most likely stems from a problem with the HVAC system.
It should be obvious that HVAC systems play a major role in maintaining a building’s proper function. While most people consider temperature control to be the main function of an HVAC system, it must also maintain good air quality. Poor air quality can be just as detrimental as extreme temperatures to the productivity and livability of a building.
