Air quality meters

We rely on HVAC equipment to maintain acceptable temperature, humidity and ventilation levels for occupant health and comfort, and, now more than ever, to help regulate building health and manage increasing energy costs. 

Indoor air quality depends primarily on temperature and humidity. The dynamic process of air quality control is the result of the interaction between HVAC equipment, spatial requirements, building materials used, variable weather conditions and pressure changes.

Regardless of the prevailing climate, air quality must be maintained at an appropriate level to prevent the growth of dust mites, bacteria, viruses, fungal spores and other bioaerosols. Without effective monitoring and control devices, indoor conditions can quickly deteriorate, promoting the growth of undesirable organisms.

Air flow control allows for: purification, heating, cooling, humidification or dehumidification of air, its expulsion to the outside, ventilation, mixing, delivery to selected locations and regulation of flow speed. Ensuring the right amount of air in ventilation ducts depends on the efficiency of HVAC systems. Insufficient flow results in poor air quality, increased operating costs and a shorter service life of equipment.

Today, indoor air quality is a key issue for both human health and building management professionals. Properly optimised HVAC systems can increase employee productivity, student concentration and speed up patient recovery, while reducing the risk of structural damage and bacterial growth.

Monitoring and maintaining high air quality is now a fundamental part of building interior assessment. Research, education and new technologies are constantly developing this sector, making air control an indispensable part of modern construction.
