Professional engineers play a vital role in designing HVAC systems that deliver comfort, clean air, and energy efficiency. At WellAir, we provide science-backed indoor air quality (IAQ) solutions that help engineers achieve optimal results.
Our solutions, including Plasma Air's soft ionization and Novaerus NanoStrike™ air disinfection, seamlessly integrate into HVAC systems to reduce airborne contaminants, enhance occupant safety, and support ASHRAE standards. By partnering with WellAir, engineers gain access to proven IAQ solutions and strategies that improve air quality while reducing energy demand—supporting smarter, more sustainable building designs.
Achieve Energy Savings with ASHRAE Standard 62.1 IAQP
The ASHRAE IAQ Procedure (IAQP) is a performance-based ventilation strategy that allows engineers to reduce outdoor air intake without compromising indoor air quality. Unlike the traditional Ventilation Rate Procedure (VRP), which requires a fixed outdoor air volume, IAQP leverages air purification technologies to achieve the same or better results with less outside air.
This method offers significant benefits:
Energy Savings: Reducing outdoor air intake cuts heating and cooling loads, lowering operational costs.
Cost Efficiency: Smaller HVAC systems may reduce capital expenses.
Cleaner Air: IAQP reduces the risk of assuming outdoor air is cleaner than indoor air.
By implementing IAQP with advanced technologies like soft ionization or portable air disinfection, engineers can optimize ventilation rates, improve system efficiency, and extend equipment lifespan.
Simplify IAQP Calculations
PlasmaSoft is our AHR award-winning, free IAQP application that automatically calculates potential outdoor air reductions compared to ASHRAE 62.1's VRP.
This tool simplifies system design by providing clear data to guide ventilation strategies.

Not all air quality issues are the same.
Dirty air carries particles, sick air spreads pathogens, and toxic air contains harmful chemicals.
Understanding these differences helps engineers design HVAC systems that effectively improve indoor environments.
Know the Difference: Dirty, Sick and Toxic Air
DIRTY AIR
Dirty air is generally characterized by contaminants that can compromise air quality leading to short term issues like headaches, asthma, allergies, sinusitis, Sick Building Syndrome (SBS), cognitive issues, and more.
SICK AIR
Sick air contains a range of airborne pathogens which can cause viral, bacterial or fungal infections and illnesses.
TOXIC AIR
Toxic air contains harmful substances that can pose serious health risks. These include respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, and various cancers. Risks increase with prolonged exposure to the toxic air.
