QUOTES
A lot of people forget that the only reason we have buildings that are occupied by occupants is to make sure those occupants are productive and safe. - Mark Jewell
I think you need to expand the definition of efficiency to more than just energy efficiency. It's the efficiency of labor too. - Mark Jewell
Do you really want to throw out four filters a year when you could throw out one? The landfill is not free, right? - Mark Jewell
One of the biggest barriers is ignorance. I think that it's possible that a lot of people don't really know what's possible. - Mark Jewell
It used to be a green premium, now it's a brown discount if your building does not have systems that can guarantee the health and safety of the occupants. - Mark Jewell

QUOTES
I suddenly became very interested in the brain. How is the brain working and why does the brain not work as well in certain situations? - Dr Adam Charles Roberts
We used the serious brick play method. The reason for this is we wanted to ensure that we had something that was repeatable and that could be scored by different people. - Dr Adam Charles Roberts
We found that if you change the air quality from the maximum allowable to the level we achieved, you get 11.5% increase in creativity. - Dr Adam Charles Roberts
It's something that's not exactly difficult to achieve, right? We just got some air filters, put them in the aircon system. That was it. - Dr Adam Charles Roberts
People may not know how much creativity they are using in their job, but I think everyone could benefit from improving their creativity. - Dr Adam Charles Roberts

Measuring your indoor air quality will give you a better understanding of your filter needs, but older methods of intermittent and spot checks may not be the most efficient way to protect your occupants health.
Today we hear from an expert who advocates for the importance of real-time air quality monitoring, particularly in schools and similar settings. We learn how the dynamic nature of these buildings, including internal and external factors, requires a more sophisticated approach to air quality management and how HVAC systems can be better optimised to balance IAQ and energy output.
Our guest is passionate about the physical and cognitive benefits of IAQ management in educational settings, and is Founder and CEO of Attune, Dr. Serene Almomen.

QUOTES
We learned the hard way that it's a non-negotiable to have clean air that we breathe. You wouldn't drink water if you see that it's dirty. - Dr. Serene Almomen
There are so many dynamic things that are happening externally and internally, that the spot checks would just not capture that. That's where real time becomes really important. - Dr. Serene Almomen
Now, we know that there are multiple sensors that are important and each sensor ties to different aspects of how we're cleaning the air and optimizing indoor air quality in indoor spaces. - Dr. Serene Almomen
What we do to simplify the contaminants is tied to ventilation. So we give a ventilation score versus air quality score. And that's more practical, reasonable and effective. - Dr. Serene Almomen

Our last episode, ‘The Professor’, was a masterclass of clear, science-backed guidance on improving indoor air, from a globally recognized leader in building science.
Jeffrey Siegel gave us really straightforward strategies and showed us how even small changes can meaningfully impact health, wellbeing and cognitive function.
After that podcast, we kept talking about the pros’ and cons’ of handheld sensors, balancing the quality of life and the cost of indoor air quality and some really simple things building managers can look at to get the best air quality at work.
Fortunately, we kept recording that conversation, so we can bring you all of this in a special bonus episode of ‘Let’s Talk Clean Air’ with Professor Jeffrey Siegel, a renowned expert with an academic career in air quality stretching from Berkeley to Texas, to his current position as the Professor of Civil Engineering at the University of Toronto.

QUOTES
I think practical advice is important and is kind of in short supply. So the first thing I would say is, whatever decision you're making about air cleaning in your building, make sure you understand how it works and how to use it well. - Jeffrey Siegel
It’s that whole idea of empowering people to first of all think about their indoor air in a formalized way, but also, start the conversations about how we address issues, and I think that's what's so important about initiatives like the Chief Airgonomics Officer - Jeffrey Siegel
On one hand, I love that people are measuring indoor air, the whole problem people like me face is that indoor air is invisible. Bad indoor air and good indoor air look exactly the same, often smell exactly the same, and so, having a sensor there is so important. People learn so much from sensors. In my family in my house, one of the most important sources of indoor air pollution is cooking. - Jeffrey Siegel
Cleaning generates a ton of pollutants, I would never tell people not to clean, but you might want to think about how you're ventilating during cleaning, who is present during cleaning. - Jeffery Siegel
We are being, as a society, kind of economically foolish by not investing in indoor air, because there are these huge benefits, health benefits, productivity benefits, cognitive function benefits, well being benefits. So I think it's really important that we be very sensible in our economic analysis, we always think about the costs, of course, we should also be thinking about the benefits. - Jeffrey Siegel

OM CAMFILS CAO INITIATIV
Initiativet Chief Airgonomics Officer startades av Camfil, en ledande tillverkare av premiumlösningar för ren luft och en förespråkare för tillgång till ren luft.
Känsligheten för luft har ökat på grund av COVID-19-pandemin, luftföroreningar är välkända för att skada miljön och de nyligen publicerade WHO Air Quality Guidelines visar oss att luftföroreningar är mer skadliga för människors hälsa än vad som tidigare har förståtts.
Initiativet är ett direkt svar på dessa utmaningar samtidigt som det förverkligar Camfils uppdrag att skydda människor, processer och miljön. Det omsätter också i praktiken Camfils kunskap och expertis som byggts upp under mer än ett halvt sekel och som man är angelägen om att dela med sig av till sina kollegor och en bredare publik för att förbättra människors liv.
Vår vision: Ren luft borde vara en mänsklig rättighet
Vårt uppdrag: Vi vill att alla företag och organisationer ska sätta ren och hälsosam inomhusluft på agendan. Camfil anser att verklig förändring endast kan ske genom samarbete och vill att din organisation ska ansluta sig till initiativet. Börja din resa mot ren inomhusluft idag!
