INDOOR AIR TREATMENT ADVICE

Through Foresight Canada, we supported Ecologicca, a  startup in the indoor air treatment space. Ecologicca’s technology involves both filtration and chemical reactions to reduce air pollutants, lowering the needed ventilation rates and associated energy required to maintain high levels of indoor air quality. We advised Ecologicca on how to interpret new ASHRAE standards and how to design pilot tests to demonstrate the effectiveness of their technology.
