Indoor air quality monitoring (IAQ)
Published over 12 years ago. See the latest and most current information on Indoor air quality monitoring (IAQ).
PPM Technology (UK), a specialist gas detection and indoor air quality instrumentation manufacturer from Wales has developed a range of multi-parameter Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) monitoring equipment.
In order to accurately understand a building’s indoor air quality, it is advised to simultaneously monitor various indoor air quality parameters including gases, temperature and humidity.
PPM Technology’s range of Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) monitoring instruments include the Wireless IAQ Profile Monitor; it can contain sensors for a maximum of 7 customer specified IAQ parameters. A compact model - the Mini IAQ Profile Monitor can contain a maximum of 5 sensors.
Customer specified IAQ parameters can include – Carbon Dioxide, Nitrogen Dioxide, Carbon Monoxide, Sulphur Dioxide, Formaldehyde, Total Volatile Organic Compounds (TVOC's), Ozone, Ammonia, Methane, Temperature and Humidity.
Both instruments send the collected IAQ data wirelessly to the control pc/laptop in real-time; a large number of units can be networked together to enable accurate monitoring of an entire building. The PPMonitor software enables the data to be viewed graphically, produce reports and statistical data, run schedules as well as enable alarm functions and notifications for more effective and economical building management.
Functions and applications include; IAQ complaint investigation and analysis, HVAC system performance analysis, health and comfort assessment, ensuring safety of building occupants and to comply with national safety regulations and laws.
