Welcome to our Ventilation & Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Guides—a practical library designed to help you make confident decisions about fresh air, filtration, and moisture control. Whether you’re troubleshooting a musty basement, planning an HVAC upgrade, or simply trying to reduce allergens and odors, these resources focus on real-world steps that improve comfort and health.

What you’ll learn in our ventilation and IAQ guides

Indoor air quality is influenced by how much outdoor air enters your space, how effectively air is filtered, and how well humidity is managed. Our guides explain the essentials in a way that’s easy to apply.

  • Ventilation basics: supply vs. exhaust, balanced ventilation, and why air changes matter
  • Humidity control: preventing condensation, mold growth, and lingering damp odors
  • Filtration fundamentals: MERV ratings, HEPA, and what filters can (and can’t) capture
  • Common pollutants: dust, pollen, pet dander, VOCs from cleaning products and finishes, and smoke
  • Room-by-room strategies: kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, basements, and offices

Quick signs your home or building needs better ventilation

If you notice any of the issues below, improving airflow and source control may deliver fast results:

  • Stuffy air or frequent headaches when indoors
  • Condensation on windows or cold surfaces
  • Musty smells, visible mold, or recurring mildew
  • Odors that linger after cooking, cleaning, or pet activity
  • Allergy flare-ups that worsen inside
