Building a Breath of Fresh Air: BAS and Indoor Air Quality

Modern buildings prioritize energy efficiency and aesthetics, but sometimes at the expense of indoor air quality (IAQ). Poor IAQ can lead to respiratory problems, allergies, and decreased occupant comfort and productivity. Fortunately, Building Automation Systems (BAS) offer a powerful solution, enabling intelligent control and monitoring of building systems to maintain healthy IAQ levels. This article explores how BAS contribute to improved IAQ, examining the benefits, technical considerations, and potential limitations of this approach.
