41% of Americans Say Bad Smells Are a Bigger Red Flag Than a Virus Outbreak, GPS Air Survey Finds
CHARLOTTE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--GPS Air, a leading provider of indoor air quality solutions, today released findings from its 2025 Indoor Air Quality Perception Report, which explores how Americans evaluate the air in shared spaces and what cues shape their trust, comfort and behavior. The survey of 1,000 U.S. adults, conducted in May 2025 via the third-party platform Pollfish, found that sensory signals like smell, stuffiness and visible dust are guiding real-time decisions in gyms, schools, stores and offices. The data reveals a growing 'air distrust' that could have long-term implications for how businesses earn loyalty and how public institutions maintain confidence. Key findings from the report include: Bad smells beat outbreaks: 41% say unpleasant odors would prevent them from returning to a gym, store, or office, compared to just 34% who say the same about a known virus outbreak. Trust breaks down in public spaces: 56% trust the air in their homes more than in places like gyms, stores, or airports. Just 9% believe public spaces have better air systems than their own homes. People want proof: 61% would trust a space more if they knew it actively monitored indoor air quality. And 65% say businesses should be required to display indoor air scores, like health ratings. Schools and airports under pressure: 77% of respondents want mandatory air-quality testing and reporting in schools, and 78% say visible clean-air efforts would make them more comfortable in airports. Air quality drives decisions: 66% say they'd switch gyms for better filtration even if it costs more. 52% would choose a hotel with cleaner air over one at the same price. 'Today's consumers are making real-time decisions about indoor spaces based on what they can immediately sense,' said Audwin Cash, CEO of GPS Air. 'Indoor air quality has shifted from a maintenance issue to a frontline experience factor. For businesses, this isn't just about comfort; it's about reputation, loyalty and trust. If you're not visibly managing your indoor air quality, you're already falling behind. The companies that take it seriously will be the ones that earn lasting confidence.' Americans are now applying the same scrutiny to indoor air that they've long applied to cleanliness or food safety. That shift is creating new pressure on public-facing spaces to demonstrate, not just assume, that they're prioritizing air quality. The findings reflect a growing demand for transparency and accountability. Whether it's a school, a gym or a retail store, people want visible signs that indoor environments are being managed with care. Clean air has become a deciding factor in how people engage with shared spaces and which brands or institutions they ultimately trust.

GPS Air Launches smartIAQ® Expansion Turning Clean Air into a Capital-Saving Strategy
Modular lineup enables smarter ventilation strategies that lower total cost of ownership while meeting clean air and compliance goals CHARLOTTE, N.C., June 26, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--GPS Air today announced a significant expansion of its smartIAQ® platform, available in three distinct configurations, each built to deliver targeted air purification, measurable results and meaningful HVAC energy savings. By reducing outdoor air requirements and simplifying ventilation system design, the enhanced lineup helps lower total cost of ownership while supporting the specific needs of diverse building types, from classrooms and offices to healthcare spaces and auditoriums. Each smartIAQ model features solid-state sensors and programmable logic to monitor and reduce contaminants like formaldehyde, VOCs, and fine particles, delivering closed loop control within the system, an industry first. All three models can also be equipped with BACnet and Modbus connectivity, available to order in July 2025, enabling smarter control, reporting, and air quality auditing through building automation systems. Each configuration also incorporates GPS Air's patented NPBI® soft ionization technology, to further reduce fine particulates and certain airborne viruses and bacteria to help stop the spread of germs in shared spaces. "With rising energy costs and new air quality standards, one-size-fits-all solutions no longer make sense," said Audwin Cash, CEO of GPS Air. "This evolution of the smartIAQ platform gives facilities a flexible toolkit to tackle real-world air quality challenges without overengineering the solution. It's a capital cost strategy that simplifies HVAC design, lowers budget pressures, and returns value to the project." The three available models include: Distributed smartIAQ Series: Designed for in-room installation across 1–4 zones, this model operates independently of the HVAC system to reduce ventilation load while actively monitoring and cleaning air where and when it matters most. Ideal for classrooms, offices, small multi-use zones and retrofit applications, it supports up to 500 CFM across multiple zones with whisper-quiet performance (as low as NC-25) and runs on standard 120V power. The system supports IAQP strategies by reducing the need for outdoor air ventilation at the zone level. Centralized smartIAQ Series: Installed in a side-stream configuration within HVAC systems, this model cleans return airflow and supports IAQP-based ventilation strategies that reduce outdoor air intake and overall system load. It supports up to 700 CFM of clean air and is well-suited for auditoriums, places of worship, gymnasiums and other large-volume spaces. In larger environments, this approach can reduce HVAC system size, helping projects return capital to the budget while improving indoor air quality outcomes. BACnet and Modbus integration is standard on this unit. Performance smartIAQ Series: Built for continuous air cleaning, this model includes a MERV-14 and optional HEPA filter with dual molecular filtration. Designed for elevated IAQ demands, it aligns with ASHRAE Standard 241 and delivers 24/7 protection independent of the HVAC system. It is purpose-built for healthcare facilities, laboratories, locker rooms and other high-sensitivity environments. The closed-loop control of smartIAQ gives facility teams the tools to meet the Indoor Air Quality Procedure (IAQP) from ASHRAE 62.1 while optimizing HVAC energy usage. The system also supports compliance with the WELL Building Standard, LEED and other forward-looking design frameworks. Each model is UL 867 and UL 2998 certified for safety with zero ozone emission. Modbus and BACnet building controls integration is also available as an add-on with every model, allowing building teams to enable: Real-time air quality monitoring On-demand adjustments to fan speeds and purification settings Synchronization with occupancy and energy load patterns Audit and trend air quality considerations Filtration replacement monitoring "As buildings become smarter and more dynamic, so must the systems that support them," said Cash. "Indoor air quality is as much about resilience, occupant trust, and operational agility as it is about comfort and compliance. The future belongs to flexible, data-driven solutions that can evolve alongside changing environments." The three smartIAQ models are available now, giving teams an immediate path to cleaner air, lower design costs, and smarter ventilation strategies. Modbus and BACnet building controls will be available as an optional upgrade across all smartIAQ models beginning July 2025.

GPS Air Introduces smartIAQ™ at the 2025 AHR Expo in Orlando
CHARLOTTE, N.C., Feb. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- GPS Air is introducing smartIAQ™, the first intelligent clean air system that makes achieving ASHRAE's Indoor Air Quality Procedure (IAQP) simple while delivering equipment and energy cost savings. The system actively monitors and verifies air quality using an integrated solid-state sensor array aligned to ASHRAE 62.1, cleaning air on demand. By safely reducing outdoor air requirements through advanced in-space air cleaning, smartIAQ delivers a true return on investment on day one by supporting smaller and simpler HVAC equipment designs. Utilizing smartIAQ for IAQP also reduces annual energy costs by up to $2 per square foot by lowering the air conditioning and heating loads. The filtration system, tested to ASHRAE Standards 52.2 and 145.2, lasts for over a year in typical applications. GPS Air CEO Audwin Cash explains, "The IAQP could be the largest energy savings opportunity being overlooked in buildings today. smartIAQ cleans air on demand, like motion sensors for electric lighting. When contaminant levels are low and rooms are empty, the system automatically enters monitor mode, saving energy and extending filter life. When people enter and the air quality demands it, smartIAQ quietly ramps up and cleans the air supporting confident reduction in costly-to-condition outdoor airflow." The system uses advanced solid-state sensors to monitor multiple air quality parameters, including TVOCs, CO2, formaldehyde, NOx, and particles (PM1.0, PM2.5, PM4.0, PM10). Operating at whisper-quiet sound levels, smartIAQ integrates seamlessly into any indoor environment while providing comprehensive air cleaning through its integrated filtration and NPBI® technology. To support implementation, GPS Air has developed the smartIAQ Calculator, built from ASHRAE standards to prove compliance and demonstrate real equipment and energy savings, making the IAQP process as straightforward as the traditional Ventilation Rate Procedure. Featuring easy-to-select project location and HVAC configuration options, the smartIAQ calculator provides quick compliance checks to the standard while also showing equipment and energy savings estimates for nearly every project type. This technology represents a significant advancement in achieving the IAQP, which ASHRAE validates as the preferred, more direct approach for indoor air quality in its 62.1-2019 Design Manual. smartIAQ takes the complexity and risk out of IAQP implementation while providing additional capacity for air cleaning when parameters like occupancy, outdoor air quality, or infection control requirements change. GPS Air will be exhibiting at the AHR Expo in Orlando February 10th – 12th.
