[vc_row layout=”boxed” el_class=”margin-bottom-50″][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][cortana_heading title=”HOW SAFE IS THE AIR I’M BREATHING? ” font_size_title=”18″][vc_column_text]In our pandemic era there is a hyper-quest for validating safe and healthy work spaces. The Well Building Certification lists performance testing protocols rooted in evidence and expertise to validate various healthy building strategies. (See “Strategies From The Well Building Standard to Support in the Fight Against COVID 19”).
The AIR in the building is at the top of the list – and for good reason: people stay healthy and work more productively when indoor air quality is measurably better. And yes, the indoor air quality can be measured and validated using science based, peer reviewed standards. How do your work spaces measure up?[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][cortana_heading title=”MONITOR, CONTROL AND REPORT” font_size_title=”18″][vc_column_text]Today’s sensor platforms can:
- Monitor multiple environmental parameters, esp. carbon dioxide, particles and chemicals (TVOCs)
- Automatically modulate outdoor air quantities to assure healthy ventilation rates, but avoid high expense of over-ventilation.
- Use sensor data to validate effectiveness of IAQ interventions (e.g. filtration, UV light, room level air cleaners / purification devices).
- Report back to a dashboard, easily identify outliers, and validate healthy indoor air.

You provide more air where and when needed to enhance cognitive ability and health. This real-time ventilation control strategy is also more energy efficient and may be eligible for utility incentives.

We know this application cold: sensor instruments and calibration, HVAC design considerations, automation integration, and available incentives. We’d love to help your operation achieve the same measurably positive results that we have for our other clients.
