This is the place where the world discusses indoor air quality, the built environment and disaster restoration issues. Every Friday at noon ET the show is live. The shows host are Joe Hughes, President of IAQ Training Institute and Cliff Zlotnik, President of IDEAZ, LLC. Every week we interview experts from the indoor air quality, building sciences and disaster restoration industry.
As instructors for IAQ and disaster restoration training programs and active participants in industry associations we have the credibility and contacts necessary to bring top industry experts as guests on the show every week. The show is designed to help promote education and communication for industry professionals and consumers in need of assistance with IAQ, built environment and disaster restoration issues.
What is IAQ?
IAQ is an acronym meaning Indoor Air Quality.
Why is IAQ important?
IAQ is all about what you are breathing. The term IEQ is probably more appropriate for what we discuss as it is more all encompassing. We discuss the built environment with emphasis on how factors related to the indoor environment affect health and productivity. We all need to breathe good air it’s more important than the water we drink and the food we eat without good air we die. IAQ is becoming more and more relevant as our society builds more buildings and homes with increasingly airtight designs and there is less air being exchanged with the outside. It’s also about the air in cars, planes, buses, etc. We all need to be more aware of what we are breathing and how it affects our health and performance.
What is IAQ Radio?
IAQ Radio is a medium for education and communication about issues related to indoor air quality, disaster restoration, buildings science and home performance. Live, weekly, interactive podcasts enable us to reach a much broader audience than is possible with traditional sources of print and Internet media. It also allows us to respond quickly to emerging issues. This new medium allows us to reach out and take on the worlds IAQ, disaster restoration and home performance challenges.
Is IAQ Radio all about Indoor Air Quality?
While our talks deal a lot with indoor air quality, indoor air quality is a small part of the subject matter that we cover in our weekly episodes.
Who hosts IAQ Radio?
IAQ Radio is hosted by Joe “Radio Joe” Hughes and Cliff “Z-Man” Zlotnik. John Faith is at the controls for sound mixing. The Restoration Industry Global Watchdog Pete Consigli joins us for restoration industry related shows.
What is IAQ Radio’s schedule?
We broadcast live every Friday at 12:00 p.m. Noon EST/EDT. Occasionally, we may record our show earlier in the week in a non-interactive mode if a member of our team is unavailable on Friday.
What is a podcast?
A podcast is a new form of Internet media which is a fusion of some of the most prolific Internet technologies. Originally called a podcast because it favors iTunes/iPod users, podcasts are now truly platform agnostic. Podcasts use traditional MP3 compression techniques to produce a relatively high quality audio file while having a relatively small footprint. Combined with this MP3 technology is an XML technology called RSS, which means Really Simple Syndication. All of this means that your Internet-enabled computer will be able to automatically download the latest episodes of IAQ Radio with no user intervention if so desired.
How do I become a guest on IAQ Radio?
If you are truly passionate about being a guest on IAQ Radio, please contact us using the feedback system. If you are within a 100 mile radius of Studio B, we highly encourage you to come to the studio for a live interview. If this is not possible, you can telephone in and be interviewed that way.
How can I become a sponsor for IAQ radio?
Check out our sponsor page for more information.
Why is the audio quality better in iTunes than it is when I am listening live?
Due to the nature of how we bring you our show live every week, our live audio is not as clear as it should be. In the studio however, we make a fully digital recording of everything. This is compressed to MP3 and is uploaded as soon as the show ends. It may take a few hours for this audio to become available for download and distribution via iTunes.
