R-Zero, a provider of smart building solutions, has launched a Reset-certified indoor air quality (IAQ) monitor and connected dashboard to visualize and act on IAQ data on demand. The solutions are designed for application in offices, schools, and healthcare facilities to inform how indoor environments support occupant comfort, operational performance, including HVAC fault detection and energy use.
Studies show IAQ affects how people feel and how well they live, especially when there is a problem with poor airflow. This is often caused by broken or bad HVAC systems. Energy waste is also a common problem in spaces where HVAC is not functioning properly.
“Monitoring indoor air and environmental quality goes beyond meeting the minimum compliance levels for standards like ASHRAE; it’s about enhancing occupant experiences and delivering tangible benefits for building owners and operators. As building stewards, we must embrace innovations that safeguard well-being, ensure comfort, and deliver efficient, sustainable operations,” said Dean Stanberry, past chair of the Global Board of Directors for the International Facility Management Association. “You can’t manage what you don’t measure. By monitoring real-time building performance, you can swiftly address mechanical issues and assure occupants that their environment is safe and healthy, driving both satisfaction and value.”
With access to real-time air quality data and environmental comfort measures like temperature, humidity, pressure, light intensity, and noise, building owners and operators can achieve a return on investment across various applications. Productivity can ben maximized by maintaining optimal CO2 levels in office and school facilities. smart building controls can take corrective action when needed and reduce occupant risk by preventing exposure to off-gassing from furniture and carpets with formaldehyde measurements. Buildings can also identify and fix ventilation problems before they become widespread and costly.
R-Zero’s IAQ solutions include a range of battery-powered and wireless sensors for air quality monitoring, thermal comfort and HVAC fault detection. Set atop R-Zero’s smart building platform, users can collect integrated data insights to unlock improvements in productivity, space optimization, energy efficiency, and operational performance.
