Thanks for posting this Bonnie Ring! The health disparities in asthma that Jerome Adams, MD, MPH highlights are deeply concerning, and they demonstrate the urgent need for a shift in focus from treatment to prevention. As Dr John McKeon, Principal of the iAIR Institute, pointed out in his conversation with Dr. Adams, indoor air quality is a crucial but often overlooked factor in addressing these inequities. Investing in healthier indoor environments—whether in homes, schools, or workplaces—can significantly reduce asthma triggers and improve long-term health outcomes. Yet, as Dr. Adams emphasized, 90% of healthcare spending still goes toward treatment rather than prevention. We need systemic change to prioritize proactive solutions like improved ventilation, better building materials, and rigorous indoor air quality standards. We applaud Knauf North America’s leadership in this space and their commitment to healthier indoor air through initiatives like the CERTIFIED Asthma & Allergy Friendly? insulation. By recognizing the role of indoor air in public health, we can begin to close the gap in asthma disparities and build a healthier future for all. #IAQ #PreventionOverCure #HealthEquity #IndoorAirQuality

Join Suzana Vidakovi? during WFI’s Filtration Hour to learn more about how?Filtration Technologies are effective tools for achieving sustainability goals in buildings, cars, public transportation and almost every other aspect of our lives. Sustainable urban development requires a holistic approach, including environmental and social change, economics, governance, accessibility and equity.

The?iAIR Institute?is committed to driving science-based solutions for healthier indoor environments, and this year’s?ASHRAE Winter Conference & AHR Expo 2025?were key moments for advancing that mission. Representing?iAIR Institute?and?Airmid Healthgroup,?Dr John McKeon joined industry leaders, researchers, and innovators to discuss the future of?IAQ and IEQ standards, explore cutting-edge technologies, and contribute to shaping policies that prioritize health in buildings. At ASHRAE Winter Conference, Dr. McKeon, a member of the?ASHRAE Environmental Health Committee, engaged in critical discussions on?ASHRAE Standards 62, 170, and 241—key frameworks influencing?ventilation, filtration, and environmental health. A highlight was?Seminar 47, where industry experts like?William Bahnfleth, Max Sherman, Marwa Zaatari, Josephine Lau, Travis English, and Pawel Wargocki?tackled misconceptions and reviewed the latest updates to?ASHRAE 241, now open for public review. At AHR Expo, Dr. McKeon explored groundbreaking innovations in IAQ and IEQ, from?next-generation filtration and air purification systems to advanced ventilation solutions. These developments play a crucial role in shaping?healthier homes, workplaces, schools, and healthcare facilities—a core focus of the?iAIR Institute’s?research and advocacy. As IAQ and IEQ continue to gain recognition as fundamental components of?public health, the?iAIR Institute?remains at the forefront—bridging?science, standards, and real-world applications?to create healthier indoor spaces. ??

Rolling out some of the big hitters when it comes to ASHRAE standards intersecting with #health and "wellbeing". I very much enjoyed the fast paced session with a whistle stop tour through "health relevant" #ASHRAE #Standards. Seminar 47 was an expert review of ASHRAE Standards 62, 170, and 241 and others with environmental health considerations. This included myth-busting of common misconceptions about health in ASHRAE Standards. Congrats to William Bahnfleth, Max Sherman, Marwa Zaatari, Josephine Lau Travis English Pawel Wargocki All key influencers in the #ASHRAE-241 standard which has gone for public review following the winter conference.

After five days of intensive committee meetings, position documents, and research projects at the ASHRAE 2025 Winter meeting, it is now time to head down to the AHR Expo 2025. Where the research hits the fan! (or not as some technologies may have it) An awe inspiring array of products and technologies, designed to improve IQA and IEQ. Healthy People living on a Healthy Planet. Wonderful to see so many key clients of the iAIR Institute, airmid healthgroup and the Asthma & Allergy Friendly? Certification Program. Delighted to drop in and visit the booths of LG Electronics Air Conditioning and Energy Solution, 3M Filtrete, Trane Technologies, Fellowes Brands, Air Sniper, National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) and Europan Srl
