Subject: Correction Regarding the Terms “MERV 17-20”<\/strong><\/p>\n To Whom It May Concern,<\/p>\nI am writing to address a common misunderstanding regarding the terms “MERV 17-20” and provide clarification to ensure accurate information is given. As the current Chair of SSPC 52.2, I believe it is important to correct the usage of the terms “MERV 17-20”, as it is incorrect and may lead to MERV ratings range from 1 to 16, with a higher number indicating a higher level of filtration efficiency. However, it is essential to note that the MERV scale ends at MERV 16. Currently, there is no officially recognized or standardized “MERV 17-20” value. Therefore, any reference to “MERV 17-20” would be inaccurate and potentially misleading.<\/p>\n I kindly request that you help spread awareness and correct any published “MERV 17-20” statements of this discrepancy and share this information with your colleagues, clients, or anyone who might be using the term “MERV 17-20.” By doing so, we can prevent the perpetuation of incorrect terminology and promote accurate understanding within the industry.<\/p>\n Sincerely,<\/p>\nTodd McGrath, Chair of ASHRAE Standard 52.2 07\/10\/2023 From: Todd McGrath, (ASHRAE) Chair SSPC 52.2 Subject: Correction Regarding the Terms “MERV 17-20” To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to address a common misunderstanding regarding the terms “MERV 17-20” and provide clarification to ensure accurate information is given.
