With a few taps or the flick of a switch, you can turn on a piece of machinery that controls the temperature in your house and keeps you comfortable on the hottest of days.

However, some of the advancements that we have made for our homes have proved to have somewhat negative side effects in that they can actually hinder an important factor of our home comfort: indoor air quality (IAQ).
