To say it’s essential to maintain good indoor air quality (IAQ) in workplaces is clearly stating the obvious. Good IAQ is essential for the health and comfort of
occupants and effective ventilation has been shown to reduce transmission of pathogens such as the Covid-19 virus.

As we’ve noted before in this blog, there are strong moves to make wider use of hydrogen as a fuel for heating, to replace fossil fuels. Whilst the switch to 100%
hydrogen may still be some way off there is every chance that many heating systems will be burning some hydrogen in the very near future.
