This Week: What would it look like if the people, who claim to care so much about the welfare of the nation's schools and children, actually spent their (our) time, money, and resources on things that benefited the nation's schools and children? Well, it might look like talking about our first story today, a study from the Annenberg Institute about the surprising connections between HVAC systems and student learning. Of course, instead of talking about things like this, the powers that be are busy trying to gut the college accreditation system, promote intrusions of religion into education by using the Courts to enshrine opting out of LGBTQ content, and crippling the finances of millions of Americans with student loans. The cruelty is the point folks. Manuel and Jeff discuss!WAYS TO HELP WITH THE EATON FIRE IN ALTADENA/PASADENA -- Please consider giving what you can!

Myco being the Greek word for fungus and toxins, obviously a poisonous substance. So when you're dealing with the health end of it, that's if you go to a doctor that specializes in mold toxicity, they're looking at how can they pull the mycotoxins out of your body, through binders and things along those lines. But interesting enough, most of the guys in this space don't even look for mycotoxins. They might do an air sample, but that's just testing for spores. The thing that's actually the most poisonous for humans is what mold releases to defend its territory, which is a mycotoxin. 17:30 – Mold loves glue and it loves wood. So you're gonna have a moldy mess throughout the entire house, which we've definitely seen that too. The the most important thing on preventing mold is making sure that your home is as dry and clean as possible.

In this short podcast episode, Zach joins Bryan to answer a common duct maintenance question: Should I fog or sanitize my ducts? The North American Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) outlines the uses of chemical products. Adding chemicals is usually a last resort in flex or sheet metal (externally wrapped) duct systems; they should NOT be used on ducts with internal liners or are made of duct board or any other material with porous surfaces. Fog is typically applied while a vacuum is running at the opposite end of the duct. It liquefies on surfaces, and a lot of contractors don't go in and dry off the duct surfaces. It's difficult to coat the entire interior of a duct system with the chemical to make it as effective as possible, and the residue creates a moist, sticky film that actually encourages microbial growth in the ductwork. On top of that, some people may be sensitive to the chemicals. In many cases, replacing ductwork that has been confirmed to have microbial growth is more reliable. Chemical duct sanitation often has more of a perceived benefit than long-term results. The use of chemical cleaners in ductwork is similar to that of using some line set flushes without forcing a solid pig through the line set to pick up the residue afterward. Ultimately, the customer has to make an informed decision based on the problem and knowledge of the benefits and drawbacks of chemical solutions.

While the traditional Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems have long been relied upon to regulate indoor temperature and humidity, they cannot often effectively address the diverse range of indoor air pollutants that pose health risks to occupants. There is a need for us to rethink our approach to indoor air quality, moving beyond the limitations of traditional HVAC systems and embracing innovative solutions like those offered by JASPR. For this episode, it's a pleasure to be joined by Mike Feldstein, the founder of JASPR and an air quality expert. His mission is to enhance air quality and improve human health through cutting-edge air quality science and technology. Air quality and its impact on human health, with emphasis on genetics and detoxification Air quality is significant in our daily lives as it directly impacts our health and well-being. Mike emphasizes the importance of understanding how basic heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems fall short in protecting against pollutants like mold, especially in the aftermath of natural disasters. He explains that HVAC systems have remained relatively unchanged for decades, primarily designed for cost-effective heating and cooling rather than air purification. While some accessories can help, such as adding humidity in dry climates, attempting to enhance air quality by simply upgrading filters can actually hinder system performance and efficiency. He also emphasizes the need for a separate, dedicated air filtration system with its own fan to ensure continuous, effective air cleaning. With the need to move beyond the limitations of traditional HVAC systems, the challenge lies in practical implementation. It then becomes more important that we continue to raise awareness and educate more people. Explaining the importance of air quality to clients becomes critical, especially for those dealing with chronic inflammatory symptoms. By demonstrating the impact of air quality improvements wherever they go, individuals can grasp the connection between their surroundings and their health. Tools like CO2 detectors and particle counters provide tangible evidence of indoor air pollution, prompting individuals to take action to improve their environments. By making air quality tangible and relatable, we can empower people to prioritize clean air as they do clean water and food. Air quality, invisible particles, and the importance of filters Understanding and addressing microscopic pollutants in indoor air, particularly mold spores, is crucial. However, it is challenging to comprehend the significance of particles that are invisible to the naked eye, such as those measuring between three to 40 microns, which can have detrimental effects on health. In my conversation with Mike, we compare invisible indoor pollutants, like mold spores to germs on surfaces. Just as we can't see bacteria but still clean surfaces to stay healthy, we need to address unseen pollutants in the air. This highlights the importance of taking proactive steps to keep indoor air clean and reduce health risks. We also discuss the role of air quality monitoring tools in visualizing indoor pollution levels. By using devices like air quality monitors, individuals can gain tangible evidence of indoor air contaminants, prompting them to take action to improve air quality. This hands-on approach to understanding indoor air pollution empowers people to make informed decisions about their indoor environments and take steps to create healthier living spaces. Toxicity in schools and homes, with a focus on air filtration and ventilation Toxicity in schools arises from various sources, including poor ventilation, inadequate filtration systems, and the presence of airborne pollutants such as allergens, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and particulate matter. These pollutants can exacerbate respiratory conditions, trigger allergies, and negatively impact cognitive function and academic performance. Air purification is important, particularly for individuals with genetic challenges in detoxifying toxins. There is a great need for awareness and action regarding indoor air quality, especially for families with children experiencing health issues like allergies and frequent illnesses. Through JASPR air purifiers, families can address these concerns effectively. The purifiers are designed to remove a wide range of pollutants, including airborne toxins, allergens, and contaminants, providing cleaner and healthier air for indoor environments. By investing in JASPR air purifiers, families can create a safer and more comfortable living environment, particularly beneficial for children with sensitivities or respiratory issues. Proper diaper disposal and air quality in nurseries The issue of poor quality also extends to places like airports. And so, we must consider all aspects of health, including the quality of fluids and food intake. Mike emphasizes the importance of eliminating potential sources of contamination, such as leaving diapers in children's bedrooms, which can contribute to indoor air pollution and pose health risks. In addition to addressing sources of contamination like diapers in bedrooms, implementing effective air purification systems is crucial in mitigating indoor air pollution, particularly in high-traffic areas like airports. With proper filtration and purification measures in place, airports can enhance the overall experience for passengers while prioritizing their health and well-being. Air filtration and its impact on allergies, with a focus on the importance of bedroom air quality There are different options available for air purification. That's why JASPR air purifiers have evolved from an industrial-grade product to a more accessible solution for households. Mike explains the considerations involved in determining the appropriate placement of air purifiers based on square footage and ventilation systems. Furthermore, Mike elaborates on the importance of understanding the unique needs of each household when selecting an air purification solution. Factors such as the presence of respiratory issues, allergies, or environmental sensitivities may influence the choice of air purifier model and placement within the home. Additionally, considerations such as noise level, aesthetic appeal, and ease of maintenance play a crucial role in ensuring that the air purifier seamlessly integrates into the household environment. By providing customizable options and expert guidance, JASPR aims to empower individuals and families to take control of their indoor air quality and create healthier living spaces tailored to their specific needs. Food sensitivities and allergies, with a focus on mold and air quality Addressing the root causes of allergic reactions, including food sensitivities and environmental factors like air quality, is crucial for maintaining overall health and well-being. Food sensitivities can manifest as allergic symptoms, such as hay fever-like reactions, highlighting the importance of understanding and managing dietary triggers. Additionally, environmental factors like mold exposure can exacerbate allergies and respiratory issues, underscoring the need for proactive measures to improve indoor air quality. By taking steps to identify and mitigate potential allergens, such as conducting thorough assessments for mold and investing in air purification systems, individuals can reduce their susceptibility to allergic reactions and promote a healthier living environment. Keep in mind that prioritizing both dietary and environmental considerations is essential for managing allergies effectively and fostering long-term wellness. Mold testing and its impact on health, including genetic factors and toxicity burden The disparity between traditional home inspections and assessments for potential health hazards within homes, such as mold exposure, is not only notable but also alarming. While traditional home inspections focus primarily on structural integrity and mechanical systems like water heaters and furnaces, they often overlook crucial aspects of indoor air quality and environmental pollutants. This oversight means that homeowners may unknowingly move into properties having hidden health risks, putting themselves and their families at risk. Mold exposure, for example, is a pervasive issue that can lead to health problems, from respiratory issues to allergic reactions and even neurological symptoms. Yet, many homebuyers are left in the dark about the presence of mold until it's too late. Mike advocates for a proactive approach to managing health risks associated with environmental pollutants. The evolving understanding of health impacts associated with environmental factors like microplastics and mold exposure, and genetic testing to assess individuals' ability to detoxify pathways such as glutathioneization and methylation in the detoxification process becomes paramount. Personalized health and wellness plans using genetic testing and air quality assessments To enhance immune function and support natural detoxification, focusing on factors like air quality, fluid intake, and food quality is key. This approach, combined with personalized wellness plans based on genetic testing, toxicity testing, and gut health assessments, allows for precise and individualized therapy. By addressing specific issues such as food sensitivities and hormone balance, individuals can make significant strides in their overall health and well-being. While gluten avoidance may benefit some individuals, its necessity depends on individual sensitivity and inflammatory response. Ultimately, prioritizing these factors can lead to improved health outcomes and a better quality of life. Say goodbye to indoor air pollution and hello to a healthier environment.

Wes Davis joins us to provide some definitions, insights, and perspectives on HVAC Codes and Standards from his role as Director of Technical Services at ACCA - The AirConditioning Contractors of America. We dig into details of the ANSI/RESNET/ACCA Standard 310, The Standard for Grading the Installation of HVAC Systems, published in June 2020. The 310 standard was written mainly to help builders earn RESNET HERS credit for installing AND commissioning residential HVAC systems. RESNET HERS scores are given to new construction homes for a host of benefits described here: https://www.hersindex.com/know-your-homes-hers-index-score/hers-index-understanding-the-hers-score/ Yet, the 310 standard, like the other ACCA standards, manuals, and publications (see links below), allows any technician or contractor to quickly assimilate industry and institutional knowledge from all the stakeholders that built, reviewed, and commented on the publications. This is a terrific way to build a better business. We also touch on the vast array of other member benefits avail at ACCA, like MIX groups, advocacy, forums, and technical support. A great way to immerse yourself and your business in this world of knowledge and connection is to attend the next ACCA Conference in October in Indianapolis: https://www.acca.org/accanextlevel/home Wes' LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/wesdavisacca/ Links mentioned in the podcast: The Checklist Manifesto by Atul Gawande: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0312430000?

Service Business Mastery - Business Tips and Strategies for the Service Industry
One of the things that make the HVAC industry unique from other trades is its complexity. It's common to see two HVAC systems using different parts for the same function, even if they were made by the same company. The problem worsens if a technician has to work with aftermarket parts while still ensuring compatibility. This makes experience and knowledge acquired through years of hands-on work critical, especially for technicians that regularly need to make decisions on the ground. What makes it even more difficult is the lack of a brand-agnostic database for HVAC systems that technicians can cross reference, making information difficult to access and pass on to the newer technicians with limited experience. This stunts industry growth and frustrates both clients and contractors. This is the problem that Peter Capuciati and his company has addressed with Bluon, a mobile app and support platform designed for HVAC technicians, contractors, suppliers, and distributors. In this episode of the Service Business Mastery podcast, Tersh and Josh talk to Bluon's CEO and chairperson Peter Capuciati. Peter shares the story of how attempting to release a new kind of refrigerant opened their eyes to the problems of the industry, and how those realizations resulted in the creation of Bluon. Peter shares the pain points that every technician faces while working with limited knowledge in the field, and how using Bluon helps alleviate those issues. He also talks about expanding the app's features to benefit contractors and suppliers to make working in the HVAC industry more efficient and profitable for all. In this episode we discuss: Developing the largest database of HVAC systems in the world Technicians as the guardians of HVAC innovation How Bluon got both technicians and suppliers to use their platform Check out these resources we mentioned during the podcast: This episode is kindly sponsored by Sera (visit their website) CompanyCam (visit their website), and UpFrog (visit their website).

Cary Cooper is a seasoned heating and air conditioning technician. He has worked in a large variety of settings and facilities, including but not limited to: food production, healthcare and hospital, pharmaceutical and biologic production, industrial and manufacturing, commercial office spaces, multi-unit and single-family homes, governmental offices, educational institutions, pharmaceutical research facilities, military and national security research facilities. Cary has additional professional experience in residential construction, remodeling with a focus on building envelope construction, mechanical engineering, and water intrusion prevention. Cary left the industry in 2018 due to his rapid decline in health that was later attributed to co-infections and mold exposure. He returned to the industry after partial healing, but ultimately left again due to the industry's attitude towards the handling of mold, silica, chemical and toxin exposure, and the resulting impact on employee and occupant health. Cary looks to expose the general disregard and ignorance that plagues the industry and to use his professional experiences to help others.Need help navigating your mold injury without breaking the bank?
