Key benefits

Monitor indoor areas' air quality to ensure their occupants’ safety, health, and wellbeing.

The IoT Indoor Air Quality Monitoring solution is a technique and technology dedicated to monitoring indoor areas' air quality in schools, workspaces, hospitals, and government buildings to ensure its occupants’ safety, health, and wellbeing.

CO2 concentration is a key indicator of air quality. The higher the CO2 value in a building, the less comfortable it becomes for the people inside. In poorly ventilated rooms, the CO2 concentration increases rapidly. Optimization of air quality in rooms is essential for more healthy and productive indoor living and working conditions.

The IoT Indoor Air Quality Monitoring:

  • Measures the indoor concentration of CO2, temperature, humidity, and light in an automatic manner and in real-time.​
  • Triggers automatic mitigation actions based on the presence and flows of persons ​
  • Helps reduce the spread of COVID-19, through alerting when clean air must be brought in and potentially contaminated air removed.​
  • It is an intuitive, precise, and plug-and-play monitoring solution.​
  • Interacts with humans and machines to understand the customer environment, context and makes data qualifications.

 

How does this kit work?

1) If a KPI falls out of the preset range, an alert notification is sent to designated contacts via SMS or email. And will take instant corrective action. 

2) Service personnel will do the required corrective action, like enabling ventilation flow in the designated area. 

3) Authorized people's presence capacity is monitored in indoor closed areas, preventing over flooded zones.

4) Automated compliance reports for all monitored facilities areas are produced on a daily, weekly, or monthly schedule delivered via emails.

CO2 – Indirect Impacting Risks COVID-19

A high amount of CO2 in the air means also a high number of aerosols. A high concentration of aerosols increases the risk of infection for everyone else in the room.​​

When a person infected with the coronavirus coughs, speaks or sneezes, a spray consisting of droplets and aerosols are generated, penetrating air in the room and then spreading.

Non-ventilated indoor spaces can increase the likelihood of aerosol transmission of Covid-19. Insufficient ventilation may lead to a long-range airborne transmission of the virus and opportunistic infection.

Indoor climate plays a key role in health protection, as pathogens remain in rooms for hours at typical air exchange rates in residential and office buildings. Air renewal takes considerable time. As such, an increase in the fresh air supply is recommended.

An off the shelf pre-integrated Air Quality Monitoring solution combining five solutions


Elsys ERS-CO2

ERS CO2 indoor sensors have the capacity of measuring the CO2 level, temperature, humidity, and luminosity of an indoor environment. This data is reported to the application to activate events and alerts based on preset KPIs. You will have full information and control over the air quality. As well, it counts with a Passive Infrared (PIR) sensor to monitor people flow to help to prevent over flooded zones. This is a smart and professional LoRaWAN® device and very easy to configure. Its minimalistic design makes it ideal to mount it on walls for indoor monitoring.

These sensors are mounted inside school classes, rooms, offices, shops, and corridors for 24/7 environment monitoring. Threshold KPIs are activated and configured through NFC and Android smartphones.​

Presence is detected through the Passive Infrared (PIR) sensor and reported to application as well.

The Elsys ERS-CO2:

  • Supports self and manual calibration methods​.
  • Is Multi-Wireless US 902-928, EU 863-870, AS 923, AU 915-928, KR 920-923, RU864, IN865, and HK923​
  • Possesses the certifications RoHS, RED/CE, and comply with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s).
