Esquire House

In 2006, and again in 2008, Esquire selected IQAir to provide their revolutionary whole-house air purification system, the Perfect 16. "They not only wanted to create a house of breathtaking beauty and dimension, they also wanted to create one of America's healthiest homes with state-of-the-art air purification", says Frank Hammes, President of IQAir North America. They chose the Perfect 16 because it exceeds MERV 16 - the highest level of filtration recognized by the American Society of Heating and Refrigeration Engineers (ASHRAE). The result is that the air in the home is virtually free of dust, pollen, allergens, and other indoor air pollutants.

Merv 16

The Perfect 16 is the first whole-house air cleaning system to achieve a MERV16 rating – the very highest MERV rating possible. MERV stands for Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value. The MERV rating system was designed by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and it establishes how well an air filtration system cleans the air. The lowest MERV rating is 1, and the best potential MERV rating is 16. Until the Perfect 16, a MERV 16 rating was never achieved by a residential whole-house air cleaning system. This ultra-high level of air filtration efficiency had previously only been possible in hospitals and multi-million dollar cleanrooms. Now IQAir makes this level of filtration available in your home.
