Maintaining good indoor air quality can not only ensure the health of every tenant, employee, or visitor on your property, but it can boost productivity and reduce worker sick days, as well.  Controlling air quality in your buildings might seem like a challenge, but there are a few simple ways to improve it and reduce health and safety risks. These strategies also have the added benefit of streamlining operations and ensuring the longevity of your property. Read on for everything you need to know about improving indoor air quality for your commercial buildings.  ## Why You Should Improve Indoor Air Quality Poor indoor air quality is a concern that every commercial property owner should keep in mind. It can lead to a host of serious health issues including respiratory illnesses and heart disease. According to the [World Health Organization](https://www.who.int/health-topics/air-pollution#tab=tab_3), approximately 3.8 million people worldwide die every year from illnesses attributable to poor indoor air quality. With so many people utilizing commercial buildings for work or recreation nearly every day, it’s important to make sure the air they breathe is safe and clean. Not only is this a matter of health and safety, but it also pertains to your finances as a property owner. After all, if anyone contracts an illness that can be linked back to poor air quality in your building, you could potentially be liable in a lawsuit. Additionally, in a commercial building with poor-quality air, workers could take more sick days and struggle with low productivity. ## 1. Remove Any Pollution Sources One of the first elements to look at when improving indoor air quality is any existing pollution sources like old carpeting, certain cleaning products or aerosol sprays, and building insulation that contains asbestos. Identify and eliminate these pollution sources as quickly as possible, replacing them with cleaner alternatives, and you’ll be on your way to creating a safer breathing environment in your buildings.  ## 2. Maintain a Robust HVAC System Air circulation is key to improving quality. To ensure air is properly circulated throughout your commercial building, your [HVAC system](https://www.strategicgrounds.com/blog/commercial-hvac-maintenance-tips/) should be in peak condition. Consider replacing your HVAC unit if it’s older than [15 or 20 years](https://www.strategicgrounds.com/blog/how-long-does-a-commercial-hvac-system-last-on-average/), and keep any existing functioning equipment on a [robust maintenance schedule](https://www.strategicgrounds.com/blog/tips-to-keep-your-commercial-air-conditioning-running-this-summer/). Even if you aren’t able to replace the full unit, there are upgrades you can do to existing equipment that can help reduce dust, mold, and pollen in your building. ## 3. Utilize Air Purifiers Air purifiers are another way to ensure clean indoor air. Certain purifiers, like localized HEPA filters, can even help you reduce your energy consumption and spend less on utility bills. Smart technology innovations allow property owners to stay on the pulse of their air quality like never before, with localized filters focusing on areas where people are and using less energy in less-populated areas. Many air purifiers are relatively inexpensive as well, making them a worthwhile investment. ## Strategic Grounds Makes Commercial Maintenance Easy By ensuring the air is clean in your commercial buildings, you’ll be helping your tenants and visitors to stay healthy all while enhancing productivity and making your property a delightful place to be.  Outside of air quality, there’s a long list of other maintenance concerns and priorities you should stay on top of as a commercial property owner.
