A team of engineers at Michigan State University is working to perfect a new technology that not only warns of a problem with indoor air, but also identifies the source of the IAQ problem and offers suggestions on how to remedy the situation.
This smart IAQ monitor is applicable anywhere with Wi-Fi. It constantly measures and logs volatile organic compounds (VOCs), CO, temperature, and humidity in five-minute intervals.
Carnegie Mellon University researchers believe that learning about the quality of the air you breathe should be as easy and inexpensive as borrowing a book from a library, and that’s why they plan to provide free Speck air quality monitors to 100 public libraries nationwide.
This series of IAQ monitors can measure ambient temperature, relative humidity (rh), wet bulb, dew point, differential pressure, barometric pressure, CO2, CO, O2, ozone, formaldehyde, volatile organic compounds, NO, NO2, SO2, and H2S.
CoorsTek Sensors, a developer of smart sensors across diverse markets including HVAC, announced that it has acquired sensor company Pegasor Oy of Tampere, Finland. Pegasor produces fine and nanoparticle sensor technologies.
IAQ monitoring and management systems can provide a healthy and productive indoor environment while saving both energy and money, notes Navigant Research. Worldwide revenue from IAQ systems is forecast to grow from $3.3 billion in 2014 to nearly $5.6 billion by 2020.
Self-contained, the YES IMS is an IAQ monitoring system with 10-channel sensor capacity including a relative humidity sensor, temperature sensor, up to seven additional gas sensors, and a remote gas sensor. The unit has a 2GB logging memory that will store over a year’s worth of readings when logging once per minute.
Highly sensitive, the portable and extremely accurate AMI300 IAQ monitor has data storage with software capabilities. Interchangeable probes and modules available include CO/temp probe (0-1,000 ppm) (1-ppm resolution), CO2/temp probe (0–5,000 ppm) ( 1-ppm resolution), CO2/temp/humidity probe, and more.
