As a recent report from the National Engineering Policy Centre (NEPC) highlighted, many of the UK’s buildings are not being operated according to current air quality standards.
This collaboration between Elta Group and Airthings will enable more facility managers, building owners, tenants, and business operators to remotely monitor and report on the indoor air quality within the building they occupy. If poor air quality is identified, this information can then be used to develop new strategies that can change the ventilation rate to create an environment that is healthier and safer to be in.
Airthings for Business solution includes three different monitors that allow the user to build a system that best suits the building occupants’ needs. Monitors can measure the level of radon, CO2, relative humidity, PM2.5 and more, and send all data via a central hub to the cloud, after which a detailed dashboard is created.
The partnership feeds into a wider strategy for Elta Group of ‘Enhancing Life Through Air’ to provide an advisory role in the monitoring of air quality and consequent ventilation strategies. Leading by example, the business recently received one of the UK’s first RESET certifications at its head office in the Midlands. By achieving the new accreditation, the ventilation company decreased its peak CO2 levels by 33%.
