Air filtration systems are often misunderstood until performance drops or maintenance costs spiral.
Many facility managers view these components as commodity items, yet this oversight leads to equipment failure and poor indoor air quality.
We decode the four essential filter stages required to protect building assets and human health. Jon Holmes, also known as the Filter Guy at Camfil, joins us to clarify the science behind the hardware. With over twelve years of experience, he brings practical insights to help facility managers navigate complex filtration requirements and reduce operational costs.

Structural integrity is key. Otherwise, what can happen is that filter essentially gets sucked into the fan. - Jon Holmes
How can you get air through something that's filtering literally everything in terms of particles? Yeah, a lot of surface area. - Jon Holmes
