Many facilities overspend on HVAC maintenance while compromising air quality due to simple, avoidable installation and monitoring errors. Costly inefficiency often stems from relying on subjective visual inspections rather than objective performance data.
This conversation provides a clear path to optimizing HVAC systems. We address common pitfalls, ranging from air bypass and incorrect orientation to the essential role of pressure drop monitoring.
We are joined by Jon Holmes, a Camfil specialist and industry veteran with over twelve years of experience. As a trusted expert on total cost of ownership, he offers practical engineering solutions to bridge the gap between complex standards and facility reality.
THINGS WE SPOKE ABOUT
Comparing filter efficiency via industry standards.
The dangers of air bypass in HVAC systems.
Correct vertical orientation for filter integrity.
Why pressure drop matters more than time.
Replacing visual checks with manometer readings.

QUOTES
The only true standards in the air filtration world for this kind of stuff is ASHRAE slash MIRV A standards - Jon Holmes
You could have the best filter in the world, but if it's not sealed properly, that's a big issue. - Jon Holmes
If the pleats are horizontal, not vertical, essentially what you're going to have is, again, it's not structurally sound. - Jon Holmes
The rule of thumb is two times the initial pressure drop - Jon Holmes
Pressure drop is objective, that's the key. - Jon Holmes
