“Healthy” Demand Control Ventilation – Why multiparameter sensor platforms are a better option than CO2-only sensors

Today’s multiparameter sensor platforms account for both people and pollutants. In addition to just carbon dioxide (CO2) sensing – now particulate matter (PM) airborne chemicals (TVOC), and other contaminants can be measured, analyzed and reported inside offices, classrooms and healthcare facilities. Most multiparameter indoor air quality sensor platforms are now available with enhanced dashboard visualization,… READ MORE

Our cars’ sensors and dashboards continue to provide us with more information. Why aren’t we using the same approach for ventilation – guiding our quest for healthy and energy efficient buildings?  

Well, I have to say I am smitten with my new cars’ controls and dashboard. My favorite is the cruise control which automatically slows down when it senses the car in front in me is less than the distance interval I set. It will even break if necessary. My second favorite is the lane assist,… READ MORE

Decarbonizing NYC Offices: Prioritizing Energy Efficiency and Health in NYC Office Buildings While Addressing a Changing Workplace

With hyper-attention on health and safety in the work space, the use of quality and calibrated sensors to measure key indoor air quality parameters has become of increased importance.  Real time IAQ measurements informs control decisions (e.g. outside air quantities), occupants, and future building system upgrades (esp. mechanical system). The paradigm should shift to, “Is… READ MORE
