HOW FLOODS ARE BORN EVERYWHERE. NOT ONLY IN GERMANY AND SLOVAKIA Can we calculate how much rainwater runoff from this forest? We know. So why don't we do that and why don't we implement natural based solutions in a specific part of the landscape so that it stays there and brings benefits and does not cause trauma to ordinary people who are not responsible for it?

Wildfire smoke often contains a complex mixture of carbon dioxide, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, aldehydes and other particulate matter that we don’t want to inhale. I have an effective solution that can help mitigate some of these problems in your outdoor air. By keeping them from entering your building we make your indoor air cleaner to breathe. #hvac #hvacdesign #buildingperformance #hvacsystems #IndoorAirQuality #FacilityManagement #energy #HVACcontrols #hvacmaintenance #EfficientComfort #HVACExpertise #commercialhvac #airconditioning  #energysolutions #energyefficiency #heatingandcooling #BuildingOperations #HVACequipment #HVACdesign
