Costly inefficiency often stems from relying on subjective visual inspections rather than objective performance data.\nThis conversation provides a clear path to optimizing HVAC systems. We address common pitfalls, ranging from air bypass and incorrect orientation to the essential role of pressure drop monitoring.\nWe are joined by Jon Holmes, a Camfil specialist and industry veteran with over twelve years of experience. As a trusted expert on total cost of ownership, he offers practical engineering solutions to bridge the gap between complex standards and facility reality.\nTHINGS WE SPOKE ABOUT\nComparing filter efficiency via industry standards.\nThe dangers of air bypass in HVAC systems.\nCorrect vertical orientation for filter integrity.\nWhy pressure drop matters more than time.\nReplacing visual checks with manometer readings.\nGUEST DETAILS \nJon Holmes serves as a specialist at Camfil. He has spent over twelve years in the air filtration industry. His main skills include bridging engineering gaps and creating practical facility solutions. He is an expert in helping managers understand total cost of ownership.\nhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jonwholmes/\nMORE INFORMATION\nThere is also a wealth of industry information on air quality and how to improve it on our website at camfil.com\nLet’s Talk Clean Air is produced for Camfil by DustPod.io\nQUOTES\nThe only true standards in the air filtration world for this kind of stuff is ASHRAE slash MIRV A standards - Jon Holmes\nYou could have the best filter in the world, but if it's not sealed properly, that's a big issue. - Jon Holmes\nIf the pleats are horizontal, not vertical, essentially what you're going to have is, again, it's not structurally sound. - Jon Holmes\nThe rule of thumb is two times the initial pressure drop - Jon Holmes\nPressure drop is objective, that's the key. - Jon Holmes...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/ADLBf-l6QPjBJIB2MvWEmg1M6BOgp1G9q5Vh_QRooqc/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzE3Nzk3LzE2NjYx/Nzk2MDktYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
