Today's energy efficient homes and work places do an excellent job of saving money on your energy bill. But energy efficiency brings its own challenges, including the quality of the air that is constantly re-circulated. Energy efficient buildings do not allow indoor air to escape and likewise do not allow outdoor air in. So you get very little fresh air and wind up breathing the same air over and over again.

"Sick Building Syndrome" is the name commonly used for energy efficient buildings that do not have a proper filtration system to trap and remove the pollutants that build up in the air. Some common pollutants include: dust, mold and spores, pollen, pet dander and smoke. Whether in your home or work place, these pollutants make hay fever and allergy sufferers miserable. They also cause general feelings of discomfort and queasiness.

Pollutants also harm your air conditioning equipment and seriously reduce its life and energy efficiency, which costs you money. These pollutants are so small - a large pollen particle is half the size of a sharp pencil point - that most everyday filters don't catch them. In fact, a standard throwaway filter in your air handler traps only about 15% of the pollutant particles in your air. The rest keep re-circulating, and you breathe them in.
