Air Filtration News - Alberta Air Quality Experts Discuss Benefits of Well-Maintained Air Filters

Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - December 3, 2023) -

In a recently published resource, air quality experts highlighted the advantages of properly maintained air filters in Alberta. Aside from better indoor air quality (IAQ), it can also improve energy efficiency.

"Properly maintaining air filters ensures better indoor air quality for building occupants, better energy efficiency, and properly functioning HVAC equipment," they wrote on their blog.

In this blog resource, they explained in detail how well-maintained air filters can save energy.

"If you're being billed $0.10 a kWh for energy: when an air filter is new, it will be 0.25 to 0.3 inches of static pressure, and for every 10th of an inch increase, when that rises to 0.4, it costs $24 a year more in energy to pull that through, 0.4 or 0.5 is an extra $48 per filter per year."

According to them, this is specifically true for provinces like Alberta.

"Most states and provinces in North America that rely primarily on hydroelectric sources provide less expensive energy. However, for provinces like Alberta, which use gas burners to create electricity, or those that burn coal for electricity --Especially with the rising carbon tax in Canada-- it can get quite costly."

Clean air is guaranteed when air filters are well-maintained, thus less downtime for employees. It means building occupants become more productive.

"With cleaner air, there is less sick time. Cognitive processes aren't affected as much. People are more productive in businesses, offices, and educational institutions."
