When lint blocks the airflow of an HVAC system it makes a room not only warmer but potentially more humid. Unmitigated humidity creates the perfect environment for mold to grow.  Numerous studies show that breathing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) like mold leads to adverse health effects, such as coughing, eye irritation, headaches, aggravated asthma, allergic reactions, and drowsiness. Plus, poor indoor air quality (IAQ), from temperature to humidity, bothers guests, making repeat visits unlikely.

Over the last several years, both New York City and New York State have created policies and plans to enhance livability and promote climate responsibility. Key issues include cost of living, job availability, transportation, education, food scarcity, and air quality. Solutions are designed to be climate conscious, cost effective, and equitable.
