What system can improve indoor air quality by removing contaminants?

Ventilation systems are specifically designed to improve indoor air quality by facilitating the exchange of indoor and outdoor air. They actively remove contaminants, such as dust, allergens, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and moisture from the indoor environment. By introducing fresh air and expelling stale air, ventilation systems help to dilute and remove indoor pollutants, thereby enhancing overall air quality.

While programmable thermostats and heat pumps play essential roles in energy efficiency and temperature control, they do not directly address air quality issues in the same way ventilation systems do. Radiant heating systems, on the other hand, primarily focus on heating spaces and do not contribute to air exchange or filtration processes that help eliminate airborne contaminants. Thus, ventilation systems are the most effective option for improving indoor air quality by removing harmful substances from the air.
