The Six Pillars of Indoor Air Quality to Create Healthier Buildings

The Six Pillars of Indoor Air Quality to Create Healthier Buildings

Good indoor air quality is essential for a variety of reasons. Poor air quality can lead to health problems, it can make it difficult to concentrate, and it can make a space feel stuffy and unpleasant. Fortunately, there are steps that contractors can take to improve the air quality of their customer's buildings. 

One key figure in this effort is John Ellis, who has identified six pillars of indoor air quality. These pillars include:

  1. thermal comfort
  2. filtration
  3. humidity control
  4. ventilation
  5. building pressures
  6. pollutant identification and source control

By focusing on these areas, businesses can create a healthier and more comfortable environment for their employees. In turn, this can lead to increased productivity and improved overall morale.

IAQ for him has two meanings: Indoor Air Quality and Investigate, Analyze, and Quote. 

When it comes to indoor air quality, there is a lot to consider. First, you need to understand what the customer is feeling. Are they experiencing headaches, dizziness, or fatigue? Next, you need to analyze the data you've collected. What do the readings say about the level of contaminants in the home? Finally, you need to connect all of this information to create a comprehensive quote. This process can take time, but it's essential to ensure that you are providing the best possible service to your customers.

How to “Ditch the Pitch” and Build Better HVAC Sales Habits

How to “Ditch the Pitch” and Build Better HVAC Sales Habits

Sales is a crucial part of the HVAC industry and market. Whether your work is from the perspective of a manufacturer, distributor, rep or as a contractor–sales is certainly a factor, regardless. With so many different aspects of the industry involved in the sales process, how could there ever be a one-stop-shop formula for good HVAC sales habits and practices? The answer is simply an increased focus on quality conversation and connection.

This episode of RepTalk features helpful tips and insight from interview guest Steve Yastrow, in conversation with Host Rob Ambrosetti. Yastrow has years of experience as a business advisor and is the Founder and CEO of Yastrow and Company. He is also a renowned author with three published business books: “Brand Harmony,” “We: The Ideal Customer Relationship” and “Ditch the Pitch.” The latter, his most recent publication, focuses on six helpful sales habits to utilize in business.

The six habits all revolve around the idea of improvised persuasion. As Yastrow explains, he suggests to quite literally ditch the pitch and instead converse with clients and potential customers rather than present to them. As most of us can relate, no one really enjoys being at the other end of a sales pitch. The best way to make the experience better, and gain from it, is to create a conversation that matters.

Yastrow breaks down the six helpful HVAC sales habits into three categories. They are:

  1. Figure out what’s going on
  2. Get the conversation flowing
  3. Creating a shared story

Within each category are two habits, and within each habit are a handful of helpful business practices to help implement the habit. The goal of these HVAC sales habits is to shift the sales process. Rather than the focus being on your business, products, services and offerings … to instead focus on the specific customer. This means saying less, listening and noticing more, interpreting the verbal and non-verbal information available and making honest helpful suggestions that clearly identify that client’s specific needs. As Yastrow explains in this episode, it’s your job to step into their story rather than making them enter yours/your business’ story.

At first glance, these may seem like obvious actions to take. However, with further research, it becomes apparent that most HVAC companies and contractors are still focusing on themselves and their business over the customer’s values and needs. Ambrosetti and Yastrow discuss applicable and actionable examples throughout the episode. From listening to a customer talk about their child’s allergies to noticing an expensive guitar collection, honing in on these small opportunities will set you apart from your competition.

After delving into each of the six HVAC sales habits, Yastrow and Ambrosetti discuss applying these practices to the remote sales and distanced customer service reality, as well as how to implement the habits for better personalized company branding. For everyone in the trade, this episode is sure to provide beneficial HVAC sales habits, tips and insight.

8 Great HVAC Marketing Habits

8 Great HVAC Marketing Habits

Marketing is an essential aspect of business. Quite literally, it is the actions a business takes to promote its products and/or services. And–it’s absolutely essential to a company’s success. This is particularly true when it comes to the HVAC industry. Potential customers have a multitude of home service companies to choose from, which is why it’s crucial that you make sure to set your business apart. Marketing is one of the easiest ways to do so. That is, so long as you commit to a marketing plan and follow through with the essential HVAC marketing habits.

In this episode, RepTalk Host Rob Ambrosetti interviews Hook Agency Founder and CEO Tim Brown on the best marketing tactics an HVAC company can and should utilize. Brown, who founded Hook Agency in 2012 is experienced in website development, search engine optimization and conversion. In other words, his company specializes in the world of digital marketing. At KGG, we too push for HVAC companies to shift their focus from old-school marketing techniques to digital practices. Brown makes this process easier and outlines eight easy HVAC marketing habits to incorporate into your business.

In many ways, it begins with the company website. Brown describes a majority of the HVAC company websites he sees as ‘broken.’ While this might feel counterintuitive, as the urge is to appeal to potential clients and earn trust, Brown advises against websites focusing on the company itself. What may feel like a warm and inviting company photo can be perceived as a greater focus on the company itself rather than the customer. Instead, save photos and anecdotes for the “About Us” section and social media. Instead, really prioritize what your business offers customers as well as high-rated reviews and testimonials that successfully portray your business’ accomplishments.

In addition to updating the website, Brown provides direction, ideas and other HVAC marketing habits. These include focusing on leads, identifying where leads come from, spending time asking for and responding to referrals and reviews, and prioritizing customer testimonials. Brown also advocates for social media, content marketing and utilizing online business search engines such as Google My Business. Brown provides in-depth insight on each of these functions, why they’re important and how they can help your company grow. So, what exactly are the eight great HVAC marketing habits? Tune in to learn!

Creating Healthy Home Habits With Hayward Score

Creating Healthy Home Habits With Hayward Score

At KGG, we often discuss the importance of good indoor air quality, as well as the control strategies available to improve indoor air. Such solutions are focused on air purification, ventilation, air filtration, humidity control and source control. Our manufacturer partners’ industry experience, indoor air quality research and science all show the benefit of whole-home solutions. This is why the IAQ products and lines we represent are focused on enhancing air quality for the entire space.

From the HVAC industry perspective, improving IAQ means addressing deficiencies and problems in existing residential and commercial spaces. However, to fully understand the future of indoor air quality, it’s necessary to also look at IAQ efforts being made from the design phase. It’s the difference between bettering homes that are struggling with the consequences of poor air quality and instead building homes better from the ground up. Ensuring builders and consumers have indoor air quality in mind in the first place can make all the difference.

To understand the builder point of view, RepTalk Host Rob Ambrosetti spoke with Bill Hayward, the founder and CEO of Hayward Score and the CEO and Chief Sustainability Officer of Hayward Lumber. Hayward first became interested in indoor air quality improvements after he and his family experienced a number of physical and mental health symptoms after moving into their new home. In 2008, determined to better understand and make changes, he pursued a way to help builders and homeowners alike through a combination of building science and medical science. The result: the Hayward Score.

The Hayward Score is a great resource on how to make unhealthy homes healthy and how to build healthy homes. The obvious focus? Health. One of the key takeaways of this episode is the value in focusing on HVAC and IAQ upgrades for the purpose of health and wellness. Consumer demand and attention is changing, and there is a greater focus on health in relation to indoor spaces than ever before.

To have a home or space scored, users take a 50 question online quiz to “diagnose” the space’s problems and potential fixes. To date, the Hayward Score has helped score over 80,000 homes. As a result, the Hayward Score successfully gained a massive amount of home indoor air quality data while helping thousands of residents and families both learn about the importance of air quality and how to mend it.

The Hayward Score is helpful to HVAC contractors and IAQ professionals because it is an independent and trusted resource that consumers seek out on their own. Your customers then come away with a vested interest in their home’s air quality, a desire to improve it and more trust in your services and recommendations as the expert. Similarly, for builders, the Hayward Score provides data, a 12-step action plan and experience to help build the most efficient homes possible. As suggested by Hayward in this episode of RepTalk, the HVAC industry truly only stands to benefit from a continued focus on indoor air quality and creating healthy homes and buildings. Tune in to learn more.

Clean Air Strategies for Better Indoor Air Quality

Clean Air Strategies for Better Indoor Air Quality

Why is clean air so important? Research shows that air quality has a significant impact on our health, our homes and our environment. The possible effects of poor indoor air quality are varied, and can range from damaged furniture and home structures to an increased risk for serious health diseases and concerns. The connection between health and indoor air quality has perhaps never been more important than today due to the ongoing pandemic. This episode provides an overview of indoor air quality solutions.  

There are three main categories of pollutants that worsen indoor air quality. They are: germs, odors and particulates. Bacteria, pet odors, VOCs, dander … all of the invisible harmful pollutants worsening air quality without our knowledge originate from one of these categories.   How can we ensure better and healthier air? The answer is clean air strategies–which are simply the methods used to improve indoor air quality. Considering the air we breathe indoors can be two to five times more polluted than outdoor air, these strategies are essential. Almost all IAQ products and solutions can be summed up by five categories. They are:  

1. Source Control
2. Ventilation / Fresh Air
3. Air Filtration
4. Air Purification
5. Humidity Control   

Whether you are a seasoned pro and HVAC professional, new to the industry, or simply a concerned party curious about indoor air quality–we can all benefit from learning about IAQ solutions. In this episode of RepTalk, Host Rob Ambrosetti explains the need for clean air strategies, the benefit of whole-home solutions and an overview of each of the five IAQ solution categories.

Why IAQ is So Important in 2020

Why IAQ is So Important in 2020

Industry experts discuss all aspects of indoor air quality.  It’s a multi-pronged approach for homeowners and HVAC contractors to protect their most important assets - their people.  It’s not a one-size-fits-all solution, as every home and building has unique systems, the number of people occupying the space, and challenges with equipment, layout, and size.

Whether it’s inviting family and friends over to your home, or welcoming back employees and customers back into your business, clean air precautions are top of mind right now.

First, we cover the importance of fresh air, MERV 13 air filters, germicidal UV lights, and humidity control as it relates to pathogens.

Second, our experts touch on the importance and benefits of installing a whole-home active air purification solution to clean air and surfaces, and the downsides of a single room air purifier.

Lastly, we touch on just how much the HVAC industry is changing. With the onset of the pandemic and awareness of the airborne transmission of bacteria and viruses, coupled with a dire need to safely reopen, HVAC is on the frontlines of solving this problem.

What’s interesting is, these solutions have existed for years. It took a pandemic to make businesses and homeowners interested in this preventative solution.

If you’re an HVAC contractor right now, and you’re not offering indoor air quality solutions to your clients, you’re missing the boat.

Fortunately, there are many resources you can find online for help.

ASHRAE.com has many downloadable documents on COVID-19 that have interesting data points you can discuss with your clients as you inspect their HVAC system.

For specific training on IAQ, look to KGGConsulting.com to get you and your home services employees up to speed on the knowledge and products you need to feel comfortable talking about and selling IAQ products.

You’ll get the knowledge, advice, and solutions to keep their family, friends, employees, and customers safe.

Why is IAQ important? Indoor Air Quality for HVAC Contractors and Homeowners

Why is IAQ important? Indoor Air Quality for HVAC Contractors and Homeowners

Ruth King from Contractor Cents
Discover ideas, tactics, news, and information that matters to your HVAC contracting business and you.

Indoor air quality is a subject that is on the minds of contractors, consumers, and commercial building owners. There's so much information out there. Who can you trust? What can you offer to your customers that you know is reputable and will do the job?

Start with ASHRAE and the EPA as trusted resources for your own research. There's a lot of gray areas and what I would say to anybody, as you're researching strategies, and devices to help you implement those strategies, third party testing is a big deal. So just make sure whatever you're looking at for a device, whether it be an air purifier, air cleaner, whatever. Look to make sure there's it's third-party tested first and foremost, that's just a fair statement.

5 Key Factors for Indoor Air Quality - Learn more at IAQ.Works

  1. Source Control
  2. Fresh Air Ventilation
  3. Active air purification
  4. High-Efficiency air filtration
  5. Humidification

So source control is something that shouldn't cost you very much money because it's what you want to try to control in your home or contractors helping homeowners. 

First and foremost water issues, any water leaks in the dwelling or building right you got to address water issues because water is going to perpetuate you know, mold and anything else that you know, things thrive when they're wet, especially when they're dark and wet. So moisture control, whether it be direct water leaks, flashings, roof flashings, or whatever it might be in order to or just an old roof, address water issues. 

Secondly, it would be like pest and rodent control because a lot of allergies are based around what they leave behind. And actually, in terms of humidification control, dust mites are a big part of what people are allergic to not so much the dust mite, but something really gross what they leave behind. So not only that but other pests, we're talking about rodents, whatever they're leaving behind, it's this, those are highly allergic, you know, things that we're talking about. So control over those is a big deal. 

And a lot of times humidity is going to help that fixing the cracks and crevices within the dwelling or the building. So getting control over those is that what that's what we may source control. Also, people that have multiple chemical sensitivity or high sensitivity to volatile organic compounds. Those might be the marshes, glues, cleaners, household cleaners. Some people can't even have those inside the space, they might have to store those out in the garage.

Dr. Matt Driscoll and Rob Ambrosetti Discuss Tips to Improve Your Indoor Air Quality

Dr. Matt Driscoll and Rob Ambrosetti Discuss Tips to Improve Your Indoor Air Quality

This episode is actually an interview I gave to Dr. Matt Driscoll on his podcast called roc spotlight. Dr. Matt loves to explore ways to improve people's lives through healthier living. And he wanted me to talk about strategies to improve your indoor air quality. So thanks to Dr. Matt for allowing me the opportunity to share these five IAQ tips.

We spend about 90% of our lives indoors somewhere. So that's why it's important, you're breathing indoor air somewhere, right? Whether it's at work home, and actually, if you include automobiles, that's probably a little higher, more like 93%. So what's happened honestly, to us as homes got newer and tighter and really efficient, we've actually cut off the inherent outdoor air exchange into our indoor space. 

The EPA actually did studies on the pollutant levels indoors, and they found two to five times higher pollutants than exists outside and some really bad cases more than 100 times. So that's important because we're spending our time indoors somewhere.

The only air that we can actually control that we breathe is the air in our homes. 

That's the only place that we actually have control over the air that we're breathing.

Indoor Humidity for Optimal Health. Healthy Home Hydration with Dr. Stephanie Taylor

Indoor Humidity for Optimal Health. Healthy Home Hydration with Dr. Stephanie Taylor

Ideal indoor humidity is far more important than just a conversation about "comfort". Today I talk to Dr. Stephanie Taylor about relative humidity and how it affects our overall health.

Stephanie Taylor, MD, M Arch, RSPH(UK), MCAB

https://www.humidification.com/medical-advisors

Dr. Stephanie Taylor graduated with honors from Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA in 1984, following which she practiced clinical medicine in pediatric oncology and did academic research in cellular growth mechanisms for over 20 years. During this time, she became very concerned about the new infections that many hospital patients contracted while they were being treated for unrelated issues. Determined to better understand the interaction between patient outcomes and the hospital built environment, she obtained her Master’s Degree in Architecture from Norwich University in her home state of Vermont

After several years working in a healthcare facility architectural design firm, she founded Taylor Healthcare Consulting, Inc. to focus on building design and operation elements that impact patient healing. Now an internationally recognized consultant, Dr. Taylor works with architects, engineers, microbiologists and regulatory committees to design and manage hospitals and other commercial buildings to optimize patient and occupant health.
