Indoor air quality monitoring for your business

Why does indoor air quality matter?

In today's environment, people spend approximately 90% of their time indoors, making indoor air quality (IAQ) management crucial for public health. According to the World Health Organization, poor indoor air quality poses significant health risks, with indoor air pollution often being 2-5 times higher indoors than outdoors.

Consequently, air hygiene is becoming a global priority as businesses harness the power of enhanced indoor air to provide comfort, aid health and safety, boost productivity and enhance customer or user experiences.

How to achieve Indoor Air Quality Management (IAQM)?

Indoor air quality monitoring (IAQM) using our accredited devices can help you understand and optimise the air in your setting.

The first step is to gather data that shows you where action is needed to improve air quality in different spaces. To make this possible, indoor air quality monitors report on levels of inorganic gases (CO2), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), particulate matter, airborne chemicals, air pressure, temperature, and humidity. With this insight, it’s easier to identify any air quality issues and the remediation measures that will be most effective.

What is the purpose of the indoor air quality monitor?

Air is invisible. 

Explaining the impacts of poor IAQ can therefore be challenging. 

IAQM makes the invisible, visible.

The sensors in our monitors detect a range of metrics to gather vital information.

This information can easily be displayed on a screen and shared via a QR code with key stakeholders, primarily the occupants.

By analysing the causes and trends of poor air quality, indoor air quality monitoring devices can help you implement better management practices (eg cleaning, ventilation, and temperature control) to reduce the effects of poor indoor air. With more control, these measures can help you:

• protect people in your business – knowing the level of contaminants in the air can help you take action to reduce health risks caused by air pollutants
• act with insight – reviewing air quality data shows trends and the results of remedial actions to help you identify the causes of problems such as sickness and absenteeism
• reduce energy costs – indoor air monitoring can help you optimise heating and ventilation to reduce unnecessary energy losses
• reassure customers or employees – monitors and improvement measures can demonstrate that your business prioritises health and wellbeing
• boost productivity – pollutants, especially CO2, affect cognitive performance. Air monitoring can allow for more efficient control of ventilation to keep CO2 and other pollutants low
• create hospitable environments – better control of temperature, humidity and other pollutants improve levels of comfort and wellbeing
