Commercial Office Space
The commercial office buildings of today provide more than just a space for tenants to work. They are small communities that can include restaurants, health clubs, medical clinics, retail shopping, parking garages, living quarters and more. For facility management teams this presents some unique challenges.
Typically, these buildings need air filters to capture airborne particles such as dust, pollen, and other contaminants, ensuring that indoor air quality meets acceptable health and comfort standards. LEED-certified buildings require at least MERV 13 filters throughout. Filter replacement frequency depends on factors such as building use, occupancy, and outdoor air quality, and should be outlined in a comprehensive maintenance plan. Regular replacement is essential to maintain indoor air quality, optimize HVAC system performance, and prevent health issues related to poor air quality.
