As the calendar turns and we welcome 2026, the team at GO AQS wants to wish our global community a very Happy New Year!

Every new year offers a chance to reset, but 2026 feels fundamentally different. While previous years were defined by rapid technological shifts and individual innovations, we believe 2026 will be defined by something much more powerful: The Human Connection.

The Power of “One Goal”

Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) is no longer a niche concern for scientists or engineers, it is a universal human right. This year, we are seeing a massive shift in how we approach the air we breathe.

We are moving away from “siloed” expertise and toward a unified front. Whether you are:

• An architect in London designing breathable spaces.
• A facility manager in Tokyo optimizing HVAC systems.
• A healthcare advocate in New York pushing for better school standards.
• A tech developer in Bangalore creating the next generation of sensors.

We all share one common goal of Cleaner, safer, and healthier indoor environments for everyone.

2026: The Year of Community

In 2026, collaboration is our greatest tool. We recognize that the challenges of IAQ, from wildfire smoke infiltration to material off-gassing pollutants and pathogens lingering indoors, are too big for any one person or company to solve alone.

This is the year we break down borders. We are seeing more:

• Cross-Location Partnerships: Sharing real-time air quality data across indoor locations to predict trends.
• Diverse Perspectives: Integrating traditional building wisdom with modern solutions.
• Knowledge Equity: Making high-level IAQ assets accessible to diverse backgrounds and communities worldwide.

Looking Ahead with GO AQS

At GO AQS, our mission for 2026 is to be the bridge. We aren’t just providing a standard; we are building a community. We believe that when people from different backgrounds sit at the same table, innovation happens faster, and the air gets cleaner sooner.

The “A” in IAQ stands for Air, but in 2026, it also stands for Action through Alliance.

Happy New Year! Let’s make 2026 the healthiest year yet, together.
