Indoor Air Quality in Downtown Edmonton

Downtown Edmonton homes face an air quality challenge that's easy to miss: they're built airtight for energy efficiency, which means indoor pollutants accumulate without mechanical help. Cooking odours, VOCs from furniture and paint, moisture from bathrooms — these build up in a sealed home through the winter.

Then there's the wildfire smoke problem. Edmonton now sees multiple air quality advisory days each summer, and the reflex to close windows and run AC pushes the indoor air quality problem back inside. A HEPA filtration system combined with proper ventilation addresses both the indoor and outdoor sources.
