What this means for different sectors In construction and urban housing, old models relied on fans and energy-intensive HVAC systems that were costly to run and hard to maintain. Smarter codes integrate ventilation, filtration, dehumidification and humidification to reduce waste, shield residents from urban pollution, and enhance comfort. These are clear benefits for developers who want to avoid costly retrofits and reduce long-term operating expenses. In agriculture and horticulture, controlled humidity prevents mould and pests in greenhouses and vertical farms, while supporting yield and reducing the need for water and chemicals. The same applies in pharmaceutical production, where cleanroom-grade air underpins product safety, regulatory compliance, and minimises costly production errors.
Getting it right Incorporating air quality costs the least when teams plan for it from the concept stage. That said, modern plug-and-play solutions like the innovative Keri WiFi Wall-Mounted Ultrasonic Humidifier allow existing spaces to be upgraded with minimal disruption, giving building owners a practical way to fix IAQ problems now. The upside of acting is immediate: healthier, more productive occupants, HVAC systems performing within design parameters, and reduced energy and maintenance costs. Buildings earn their sustainability story not through plaques or ratings alone, but through lived experience. As Dr Dickerman of Harvard Medical School states, “We shape our buildings, then they kill us!” So, whether you’re planning new or upgrading old, the principle holds: if air isn’t designed in, the building isn’t smart – it’s just expensive.
