Belimo HVAC Control Solutions: Improving Indoor Air Quality with Energy Efficiency
Did you know buildings contribute 40% of global energy demand and greenhouse gas emissions? Given that we spend up to 90% of our time indoors, these structures significantly impact our comfort, health, and well-being.
Our trusted partner, Belimo, aims to foster healthier, more comfortable indoor environments with reduced energy consumption. Belimo HVAC Control Solutions addresses multiple Sustainable Development Goals by offering highly energy-efficient Building Automation and Control Systems (BACs) that can reduce HVAC power requirements by up to 55%.
The Importance of Indoor Air Quality
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) refers to the air quality inside a building, including temperature, humidity, ventilation, and pollutants. Poor IAQ can lead to discomfort, health issues, and reduced productivity among occupants. As awareness of IAQ grows, we at Industrial Equipment Company (IEC) are proud to offer a comprehensive range of Belimo products designed to optimize IAQ.
Challenges in Maintaining IAQ
Maintaining optimal IAQ presents challenges such as inadequate ventilation, improper filtration, and indoor pollutants. Additionally, increasingly airtight buildings limit natural ventilation, trapping pollutants indoors.

Important Indoor Air Quality Indicators
Humidity
Humidity measures moisture in the air and should be maintained between 40 and 60 percent RH for optimal comfort. However, humidity below this can dry the skin, eyes, or respiratory tract, while excessive humidity can facilitate mold growth.
Carbon dioxide (CO2)
The indoor concentration of CO2 often correlates with occupancy or activity level in an enclosed space. At a concentration exceeding 1,000 ppm, occupants will begin to experience a drop in productivity and, more importantly, may result in serious health complications.
Temperature
Temperature is often closely linked to humidity and impacts overall well-being, productivity, and health. The ideal room temperature is often subjective but is also affected by activity levels, room occupancy, humidity, and air velocity.
Air velocity
Air velocity can greatly impact the temperature and comfort of indoor spaces, with greater velocity increasing the heat exchange between people and the surrounding air. In contrast, insufficient airflow can cause the buildup of airborne contaminants, such as VOCs.
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
VOCs are organic, carbon-containing compounds that can evaporate at room temperature. Many indoor sources of potentially harmful VOCs include cleaning products, paints, softeners, printers, and adhesives.
Particulate matter
Microscopic solid or liquid particles can become suspended in the air from sources such as pollen, dust and mold spores. These fine particles can enter our lungs, causing allergic reactions, irritation or infections.
