Representing, and Safeguarding the Air Systems Industry
AMCA International is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting, representing, and safeguarding the air systems industry. We achieve this through advocacy efforts aimed at ensuring that buildings are efficient, healthy, and safe for occupants. Our work involves participating in the development and refinement of codes, standards, and regulations, as well as providing education and information to decision-makers and practitioners. Our advocacy initiatives are focused on three key areas: energy and sustainability, occupant and building protection, and indoor air quality.
Focused Industry Initiatives
Energy Efficiency and System Performance
An energy-efficient system not only performs well, but also provides indoor comfort, good air quality, and acoustics with lower carbon emissions and a longer service life. Learn more
Indoor Air Quality and Ventilation
In the past ten years, the variable-air-volume (VAV) system has undergone significant innovation and progress. By using the latest components and following best practices, a new generation of VAV systems has been developed, known as the high-performance air system (HPAS). Learn more
Occupant and Building Protection
Active safety measures are designed to suppress or extinguish fire, while passive safety measures prevent the spread of fire and smoke, which is the leading cause of death in case of a fire. Unfortunately, in many cases, passive forms of fire protection are overlooked in favor of active ones, primarily due to cost-saving measures, rather than performance. Learn more
Large Diameter Ceiling Fans
Ceiling fans are popular for providing air mixing, destratification, and cooling effects in residential, commercial, industrial, and agricultural settings. Learn more
