Optional Healthy Climate germicidal lights [models
UV−500 (46X85), UV−1000 (46X87) and UV−2000
(46X89)] greatly reduce new mold growth on
illuminated surfaces.
Methods to Improve Indoor Air Quality
Optimal indoor air quality can be obtained by using four
strategies in your home environment:
D Eliminate sources of poor air quality;
D Ventilate the home properly;
An accumulation of dirt and dust in the air ducts
provides an ideal site for mold growth. To ensure
optimal indoor air quality, non−porous insulation or
externally insulated ducts should be used, particularly
on the supply side (i.e. externally insulated metal
plenums and ducts or smooth−lined flex duct are
preferred). If your home has significant existing active
mold growth, you should contact a company that
specializes in mold removal. Lennox is a sponsor of the
Indoor Air Quality Association (IAQA). Contact the
your state’s health department for a list of companies
which specialize in mold removal and training.
D Clean contaminants from the home;
D Monitor the indoor air quality to maintain a healthy
home environment.
Eliminate sources of poor air quality
Identify and remove or reduce the sources of poor
indoor air quality in the home. Pollutants which may
affect indoor air quality include:
Dirt and Dust: Prevent filtration of dirty air and dust
from unconditioned spaces (i.e. attics) into the HVAC
system. Seal the ducts using mastic or aluminum foil
tape along all joints. Use a vacuum cleaner equipped
with a HEPA filter to permanently remove small dirt
particles, rather than simply redistributing them, as is
the case with a conventional vacuum cleaner.
Ventilate the home properly
Contaminants in the home can be reduced by adequate
ventilation. Open windows will allow natural ventilation;
however, this is not a good option for people who are
sensitive to pollutants in the outdoor air (pollens,
Odors and Chemicals: Remove sources of odors and
chemical contamination from the home and use
products that minimize contaminant levels in the air.
Lennox’ PureAirt air purification system removes and
destroys odors and chemicals.
®
chemicals, etc.). Lennox’ Healthy Climate Energy
Recovery Ventilators [models ERV1−150 (64X66) and
ERV1−200 (64X69)], Heat Recovery Ventilators
[models HRV1−150 (64X65) and HRV1−200 (64X67)]
and Ventilation Control System [model LVCS
(X4141)]provide filtered ventilation. If you, or someone
in your family is sensitive to outdoor pollutants, ask your
Lennox dealer about these products. Exhaust fans
which vent stale or contaminated air to the outside
should be installed in the kitchen, bathroom(s) and
laundry areas to effectively remove contaminants.
Clothes dryers should be vented to the outdoors also. If
there is a sudden source of contamination in your home
[caused by burned food, oven cleaner, paint or hobby
work that releases chemicals (model airplanes,
soldering, furniture refinishing, etc.)], the PureAirt air
purfication system WILL NOT reduce the odor
immediately. In cases of sudden source contamination,
open windows and doors to rapidly reduce the
concentration of the contaminant.
Mold: Minimize mold by controlling moisture in the
home. Prevent roof and water pipe leaks. Contact a
contractor if your home develops a water leak.
Control the relative humidity in the home to keep it
between 30 percent and 50 percent. Contact your
Lennox dealer about products that reduce the humidity
levels in the home [variable speed air handlers,
furnaces and compressors, humidity controls and
dehumidifiers (85X74)].
If mold is in the home, it must be properly removed. After
®
the mold has been removed, Lennox’ Healthy Climate
PureAirt air purification system [model PCO−12C
(75X69), PCO−20C (75X61), PCO−12U (X1179) and
PCO−20U (X1183)] will help to remove mold spores
from the air.
