AIR’s advanced sensors gather and assess air quality status. Readings of the environment are taken every 15 seconds. That data is averaged and transmitted every five minutes, 288 times per day, to AIR’s state-of-the-art Air Quality Control Center. When the air quality falls outside the predetermined tolerances for the facility, floor, or room being monitored, the system triggers an alert for AIR to contact the client to initiate corrective action.
Many of these parameters are indicators of HVAC performance. By continuously monitoring the air in a commercial setting we are able to identify trends and imperfect HVAC practices that lead to lesser quality air and wasted energy consumption. Government studies have shown that using our monitors in conjunction with continuous monitoring can result in energy savings in excess of 20%.
AIR is committed to evolving with your business. Our dynamic air quality monitors are open ended, meaning new parameters can be added at any time to meet your changing needs. We are proud to count among our clients: › Colgate/Palmolive

INDOOR AIR QUALITY
The benefits of a proactive indoor air quality monitoring program are significant and can be realized on many levels: › REDUCED ENERGY COSTS
› Lower absenteeism
› Healthy work environment
› Reduced energy consumption
› Employee confidence
› Mitigated risk
› Patient confidence
› Proof of air quality to defend employee complaints and litigation
› Uninterrupted operations › More productive employees
› Mold prevention
CARBON MONOXIDE CASE STUDY Prior to partnering with AIR, a facility had been closed on multiple occasions due to elevated levels of carbon monoxide (CO). For over a month, they had attempted to locate the source of the CO, but to no avail because it could not be determined exactly when the issue was occurring. Meanwhile, occupants were being inconvenienced (even evacuated on some occasions) and money lost.
Once continuous air quality monitors were installed at the site, the next incidence of elevated CO alerted AIR’s state-of-the-art Air Quality Control Center to the problem. Real-time reporting showed the exact time at which CO levels exceeded predefined exposure limits. A quick conversation with the facility manager revealed what had occurred during that time period and the source of the problem. The procedure causing the occurrence was stopped and with diligent monitoring, by morning, the CO had dissipated and the facility was again safe to occupy.
In less than an hour, AIR’s precision system resolved a long-term CO issue.

QUANTIFIABLE ENERGY SAVINGS
In 2009, an organization and Air Innovation Resources (AIR) embarked on a pilot project designed initially to test the effectiveness of AIR’s air quality monitoring sensors in eleven of the clients’ 2,500 sites — and, along the way, identify opportunities to improve energy consumption. We were able to identify areas of opportunity in 100% of the clients’ pilot locations. We were able to identify areas of opportunity in 100% of the clients’ pilot locations.
Initial results indicate that total annualized energy savings if energy conservation strategies are implemented corporate-wide could amount to as much as $9 million.

TOTAL NETWORK SECURITY
TOTAL NETWORK SECURITY At AIR, our customers’ network security is of utmost importance. That is why the standard installation of our monitors has a number of security features built in. Our proprietary communication protocol allows our monitors to send outbound data to only those servers hosted by AIR, so it cannot be stolen. All communication is in secure HTTPs transmission format. AIR monitors will conform to any existing or future IP rotation, hold no executable files, and require very little bandwidth to transmit data. Clients using enhanced security standards can add additional proxy rules to meet their specific requirements.
ADDITIONAL BENEFIT: GREEN Today it seems that businesses everywhere are joining the “green” movement. That’s because operating a green business is not only the right thing to do for the environment, but it’s good for a business’s bottom line. Conserving resources and cutting down on waste saves money. By adopting clean-air and energy-efficiency policies across its U.S. locations, one client’s potential annualized energy savings could amount to as much as $9 million. In addition, that same client stands to reduce its carbon footprint on the planet by more than 80 million pounds per year* — a fact that is not only a powerful marketing message, but forms the basis for a corporate green initiative. * SOURCE EPA.GOV CARBON FOOTPRINT CALCULATOR, BASED ON 20% REDUCTION
