How to Minimize the Effects of Wildfires on Indoor Air Quality

As wildfires become more frequent, severe, and far-reaching, building owners and facility managers face growing challenges in protecting indoor air quality (IAQ) and occupant health. This whitepaper explores the impact of wildfire smoke—particularly fine particulate matter (PM2.5)—on buildings and the serious short- and long-term health risks associated with exposure. It highlights emerging regulations and industry guidance, including recommendations from ASHRAE, and emphasizes the importance of monitoring air quality, improving filtration, and implementing smoke readiness plans. The paper also demonstrates how Carrier’s integrated approach to IAQ management—combining advanced HVAC systems, higher-efficiency filtration, building automation, AI-driven analytics, and operational services—can help organizations reduce smoke infiltration, maintain healthier indoor environments, and improve resilience during wildfire events.
