Building occupants in 2026 no longer accept invisible air quality as a guaranteed standard. They demand proof and documentation that the environments where they work and live are safe. The days of emergency pandemic fixes have passed. We are now entering an era where long term air quality strategy is essential for every facility.
This episode explores the shift from reactive maintenance to proactive indoor air quality management. We discuss the differences between true HEPA and high filtration standards. We also examine how molecular filters tackle smells and city smog. You will learn how to balance energy efficiency with air purity. Our discussion covers the importance of interpreting sensor data as a continuous movie rather than a snapshot.
Our guest is Jon Holmes. He is a specialist at Camfil with over twelve years of experience. He helps facilities bridge the gap between complex engineering and practical solutions. Jon shares his expertise on improving breathable air while managing the bottom line.

QUOTES
The building occupant today is not the same building occupant of pre pandemic. Jon Holmes
The first thing you want to consider, first and foremost is a reduction of what you're using. - Jon Holmes
As long as you have a filter that can perform better for longer, not just last longer. Now you're getting the benefit of higher quality, higher flow, but you're also using less. - Jon Holmes
Air filters, we really got to get away from the sticker price conversation. It's all about what is the impact on the building and the bottom line for the year. - Jon Holmes
