Summary
This Guidebook will increase the awareness of the role of air filtration to improve indoor air quality and to design energy efficient air filtration systems. It will help the designer and user to understand the background and criteria for air filtration, how to select air filters and avoid problems associated with hygienic and other conditions at operation of air filters. The selection of air filters requires a number of considerations from the air intake to the disposal of soiled air filters. The criteria for selecting an air filtration system are based on external conditions such as levels of existing pollutants, indoor air quality and energy efficiency requirements.
