Indoor air quality

Did you know we spend more than 90% of our time indoors? 

Add to this the fact that indoor concentrations of pollutants are often two to five times higher than typical outdoor concentrations, then indoor air quality (IAQ) should be an important consideration for your building (if it isn’t already)!

Explore how IAQ monitoring can specifically help you below:

Scenario 1: Maintain a healthy and productive workforce with optimized air quality

The challenge:
Maintaining a healthy and productive workforce continues to be a challenge for many organizations. And unfortunately, poor IAQ in your building could be leading to Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) symptoms in your employees, including headaches, drowsiness and loss of concentration. 

If you’re not dealing with this effectively, this could lead to a greater impact on your organization later down the line with issues such as poor employee wellbeing, declining productivity rates, workforce absenteeism, declining retention rates, and more.   

Our solution:
We install IAQ sensors to monitor key factors including temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide (CO₂), total volatile organic compounds (TVOCs) and particulate matter (PM2.5). Our platform shows what these values should be, and how the current values could be impacting your employees, so you can make more informed decisions about your building. 

Whether it’s abnormally high levels of CO₂ restricting the cognitive function of employees or unsuitable temperatures causing high levels of discomfort. 

Using real-time IAQ data, our smart alerts can notify you when IAQ factors deviate from their optimal zone so that steps can be taken to maintain a healthy indoor environment at all times.

Scenario 2: Communicate your air quality with employees and help them choose where to work 

The challenge:
Whilst ensuring a safe level of air quality in your building is obviously the priority, another challenge when it comes to IAQ is knowing the right level of information and data to share with employees. How much do you share with them? And what do you want them to do with that information? 

Our solution:
Using digital signage, you can start to communicate chosen indoor air quality parameters with your employees to help increase transparency and help inform decisions. For example, if CO2 levels are particularly high in a meeting room or noise levels in a certain space are too high, you could present this information to help them make smarter decisions about where to work and improve their workplace experience. 

Scenario 3: Monitor IAQ to understand inefficiencies in your BMS or HVAC systems 

The challenge:
Lots of organizations are constantly bombarded with ‘too hold’ and ‘too cold’ complaints, even though their BMS says everything is fine and that room temperature is set to the desired temperature. 

Our solution:
Using our IAQ sensors and our platform, we can help you to uncover hot or cold spots, where the actual room temperature is different from the expected temperature or what the BMS sensors are stating. This insight may then highlight a number of problems such as insufficient ventilation in your building, as well as problems with your BMS sensor readings.
