The start of that document (not formatted here):
We plan to publish a well researched and highly informative white paper about mechanical filtration that informs and guides both the non-expert and professional. We will explain why filtration is important, explain the elements of a great filtration system and where filtration fits in, and then we will explore current challenges in the marketplace. Why is most current filtration not optimal? We will also explore solutions to this problem. Challenges and proposed solutions will be both technical and conceptual. This paper has a sponsor, but the goal is not to advocate specific product(s) or solution(s) for the sponsor, but to elevate the market for top quality HVAC and filtration products, so that all home and all building occupants can benefit from this knowledge. The focus of this paper is largely residential and the paper sponsor is US-based. But as many of the concepts are widely applicable, there isn’t a need to constantly emphasize these facts and this geography when concepts (like what is filtration) might apply more widely.
Brief Outline:
Introduction/Summary
Filtration Science Basics
Why do we need filtration/What is the purpose of filtration
History can be included if it’s helpful for understanding
How does filtration work as a part of great ventilation system?
Generally speaking, we’re going to end up recommending whole-house ventilation when possible, and saying it’s optimal because it is. But this discussion might be wider and whole house need not be the only concept defined?
Problems with Existing technology and marketplace
Recommended Solutions
Internal Goals:
Provide General Education:
Introduce and explain the importance of filtration to the uninformed to at least the 101 level, including information about the filtration market
Affirm basic information for those who are more expert, in part to remind these professionals what those who know less need to be aware of, in recognition that these “laypeople” play a key role in growing demand
Offer Expertise/Advocacy/Opinion
Provide actionable tech/hardware solutions people can implement with current technology and knowledge
Advocate for additional solutions
Technology needed
Desired policy/code/rule changes, if any
Provide additional ideas if applicable that stakeholders can advocate for, or expect
Concepts/elements that must be included:
(This list is meant to serve as a starting idea of what we plan to cover. Items can absolutely be added.)
