INTRODUCTION
This handy guide, brought to you by CFP, will give you help
and advice to achieve the best possible indoor air quality
(IAQ) to ensure your facility’s air systems are operating at
their most efficient, saving energy and money and allowing
you to operate more sustainably.
Building owners, managers and employers are required to provide safe
working environments and public areas, that are free from any known
hazards, that cause or are likely to cause damage to health (HSE).
Good facilities management is concerned with addressing IAQ in the
most efficient way and cost-effective way possible.

COMMON CAUSES OF POOR IAQ
Many factors affect IAQ.
• Insufficient ventilation resulting in a lack of
fresh air
• Poor upkeep of ventilation, heating and
air-conditioning systems
• Poorly fitted air filters
• Dampness, moisture damage due to leaks,
flooding or high humidity
The right ventilation and filter care program
will prevent IAQ problems. A survey of your
premises can help to identify the source of
any IAQ problems.
Call CFP today on 0161 406 5050 to arrange a
FREE air filter assessment.
• Indoor and outdoor activities, such as
construction or remodelling
• Contaminated air supply from external sources
such as road traffic and industrial processes

THE COST OF POOR IAQ
HEALTH AND WELLBEING:
Poor IAQ has been linked to symptoms like
headaches, fatigue, trouble concentrating and
irritation of the eyes, nose, throat and lungs, as
well as some specific chronic illnesses such as
respiratory disease.
Studies have shown that communicable diseases
like the common cold and flu, which have a huge
impact on absenteeism, spread more quickly in
poorly ventilated buildings.
PRODUCTIVITY:
It has now been shown beyond reasonable doubt
that poor IAQ in buildings can decrease workforce
productivity by 5-6%.
Source: NCBI (National Center for Biotechnology Information)
INEFFICIENCY:
Air filters need regular checks, especially during
periods of heavy use. Dirty filters slow down air flow,
making the system work harder to warm or cool the
air, wasting energy and money.
A dirty filter will also cause dust and dirt to build up in
the system which can lead to expensive maintenance
and ultimately system failure.
