Interested In Controlling Your Indoor Air Quality?

Hello! I believe this forum is very exciting. I hope I can be a contributor. My name is Dan Bruck. I am the V.P. of Strategic Business Alliances for Ebtron. http://www.ebtron.com

Here is some background on our company:

Ebtron, Inc was founded to manufacture advanced digital measurement instruments. Ebtron has been making microprocessor based, Thermal Dispersion (TD) technology, which has combined airflow and temperature measurement in commercially competitive systems since 1984. For over 25 years Ebtron has pushed the envelope of airflow measurement technology and applications in commercial HVAC systems. As a result Ebtron has developed products that exceed normal performance criteria and meet the most demanding and restrictive placement requirements-outdoor air intakes for ventilating systems

• The incidence of commercial buildings with poor indoor air quality (IAQ), and the frequency of litigation over the effects of poor IAQ is increasing. If so, these increases have ramifications for insurance carriers, which pay for many of the costs of health care and general commercial liability.
• American adults spend an average of 90 percent of their time indoors, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, which lists poor indoor air quality as the fourth largest environmental threat to health in the country.
• Sick Building Syndrome, or SBS, is the name given to the condition in which individuals suffer from health problems or symptoms associated with the building in which they work or live.
• If IAQ is not maintained up to federal standards, companies may face costly litigation from employees suffering from SBS and have to contend with diminished worker productivity.
• In terms of productivity, the EPA estimates that poor indoor air costs the U.S. tens of billions of dollars each year in lost productivity and medical expenses.
• The three main factors to managing IAQ are source control, air cleaning, and proper ventilation.  Air cleaning — use of filters or air purifiers — and ventilation products can improve IAQ as well as reduce energy costs. Ventilation rates can be accelerated to increase air flow and thus improve the quality of air.
• When poor IAQ is recognized in any building, increasing ventilation rates is one of the first steps that can be taken to reduce indoor air pollutants, say industry professionals. They also say that poses one of their largest challenges with IAQ in maintaining green buildings: increasing ventilation rates without escalating energy use.

Cost of Poor IAQ:

·         Consultant services for IAQ problem investigation, diagnosis, and resolution

·         Building remediation for IAQ

·         Laboratory services pertaining to IAQ diagnostics or related aspects of building design

·         Emission testing for certification/labeling

·         Air duct cleaning

·         Purchase and use of improved filtration

·         IAQ litigation and insurance

·         Radon mitigation and prevention

Advantage of Using Ebtron Thermal Dispersion Air Flow Measurement:

• Minimize Mold Growth within exterior walls.

-Minimize or prevent building damage and health impacts by eliminating uncontrolled infiltration   as well as condensation of humid air

·         Reduce your IAQ Liability

         -Improve indoor environmental quality

         -Reduce medical insurance claims for self-insured owners

·         Improve Productivity & Health

                -Studies show improved air quality increases worker productivity as much as 3-20%

                -Lowers absence rates and sick leave costs

·         Decrease Energy Costs

 -Reduce usage by controlling pressurization at the lowest fan energy levels and eliminating uncontrolled air infiltration

·         Green- LEED-Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design

 -Developing high-performance, sustainable buildings
