🌟 A Big Thank You to Everyone Who Joined Our Panel Discussion! 🌟 We had the pleasure of curating a dynamic and insightful panel at Big 5 Global last week, as part of our #TakeABreath initiative. The discussion, titled "Unseen Threat: Tackling Mould in HVAC Systems for Healthier Spaces", brought together experts from various sectors and an engaged audience eager to dive into this critical topic. 💡 Some Key Takeaways: • While mould in HVAC systems cannot be entirely avoided, there are actionable solutions to manage this challenge, from monitoring as a first step, to ventilation and regular maintenance to minimize risks, to innovative technologies that treat both mould and their mycotoxins. • Building design and retrofitting can play a significant role in reducing or managing mould risks. • Different built environments and occupancy levels require tailored interventions when it comes to the rate of HVAC cleaning • While mould in HVAC systems poses a threat to human health, the good news is - improved air quality improves lung development translating to better quality of life which in turn would affect school, work and life performance This conversation highlighted the importance of collective efforts to create safer, healthier indoor spaces. Thank you to our incredible panelists, moderator, and audience for making this event a success, Lama Saleh Safeena Kherani JV D.
