Home Sweet (Healthy) Home

Show Notes

Most people believe that the quality of air inside their homes is better than the air outside. However, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reports that indoor air pollutants are two to five times higher indoors. This statistic really hits home today as many of us spend an extraordinary amount of time in our homes, whether it be cooking, sleeping, relaxing and more recently – working.

While many of us may be able to identify some of the most obvious pollutants that affect the air quality in our home environment, some of the biggest offenders may not be as evident. In Episode 4 of our Healthy Spaces podcast series, we connect with two science-driven leaders who spend a lot of time understanding research in the field of indoor air quality - and transforming those insights into solutions that can help make home environments safer and healthier. Jennie Bergman from Trane Residential and Dr. Emer Duffy from Allergy Standards Ltd share their expertise and experience on steps we can all take to clear the air at home.

What is Healthy Spaces?

Did you know that 99% of the global population is breathing unhealthy air? What if it didn’t have to be that way? To us, the relationship between human health and planetary health is so intertwined that it's impossible to talk about one without the other.

That's the focus of the Healthy Spaces podcast, where we’re exploring how technology and innovation are transforming the spaces where we live, work and play. Through conversations with scientists, engineers, and business leaders, we are connecting the dots for listeners between climate tech and healthier spaces for people and the planet.

At Trane Technologies, our purpose is to challenge what’s possible for a sustainable world. We hope you’ll join us.
