Air Filtration for Construction Jobs: What's Required for Better Air Quality

Construction jobs naturally create a variety of types of dust, fibers and other particles from all kinds of building materials. Because of the variety of types of particles and large spaces, strong portable ambient air cleaners are often best, either used by themselves or in conjunction with negative air units or hanging dust collectors.

For best dust control, however, it is usually best to remove as much of the dust at the source or close by, as possible, before it gets a chance to go airborne. For a construction job air filter to be effective, it will usually need at least 2000 CFM (cubic feet per minute, also depends on room size), and often does not need HEPA unless there are super fine particles present. Using HEPA unnecessarily will slow down the airflow resulting in slower dust removal. It is also important to remember that you’ll need 5-10 air changes per hour in the construction space to actually control the dust; under-sizing with units only providing 1-2 air changes per hour is not only a waste of time but well under OSHA standards in most cases.

Some of the best contractor hepa air cleaners will feature a cartridge type filter that is cleanable with compressed air, resulting in dramatically lower filter replacement costs and less down time changing filters. Many of the most useful general contractor air filtration methods will involve a combination of dust collectors attached to machines as well as a strong ambient dust collector or negative air to keep airborne dust at the construction job site to a minimum.
