We are happy to be a part of this lab project at Flinders University in Australia! Our channel partner, Air Con Serve, brought Aircuity in to reduce energy and carbon emissions while creating a healthier research environment. Channel partner, Viscon Systems, helped with the development.
If chemical banding/unoccupied setbacks/low flow fume hoods are already being done – is Aircuity still beneficial?
Short Answer: Yes! Aircuity is a great fit with these types of programs and most often seen as the enabling technology.
Detailed Answer:
Chemical Banding – Aircuity will always be running in the background to increase ventilation when necessary, to report problem rooms in the case of improper procedures and protocols or to accommodate for fundamental changes in the research being done. Aircuity utilizes and supports banding in the proper set up of the Aircuity system.
Unoccupied setbacks – If occupancy sensors are used, Aircuity will ensure the room is clean before the first person occupies and activates the sensors or in the case of a sensor failing. If done with a schedule, Aircuity will ensure the room is clean if the schedule is violated.
"At SOM [in their NYC HQ], if all the employees are called into a conference room, the CO2 level there will go up, requiring more ventilation. 'We want to dynamically control that air,' said Walt King. But when the SOM space is more lightly occupied, or unoccupied after hours, less conditioned air is needed, [Aircuity is] saving energy and carbon emissions."
