During the 1970s, energy conservation measures involved sealing a building to minimize the infiltration of outside air. Over the years this has contributed to the build up of indoor air contaminants and concerns with indoor air quality (IAQ). Newer office buildings pose problems, too, leaving the contractor to “uncover” a building’s obvious and not-so-obvious pollution sources: tobacco, building materials, furnishings, cleaning agents, copy machines, and pesticides. End-users expect more than occupant comfort. The devices contractors and consulting engineers specify and install need to rise to the challenge of keeping that comfortable environment healthy and productive.
Commercial customer concerns.
In commercial properties, over-ventilating a building results in higher energy usage and operating costs; under-ventilating impacts productivity. Either scenario generates occupant complaints. How can you achieve
the optimum environment?
The challenges for education customers.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reports that poor indoor air quality in schools can impact the comfort and health of students and staff, which can affect concentration, attendance, and student performance.
If schools fail to respond promptly to poor IAQ, students and staff are at an increased risk of short-term health problems, such as fatigue and nausea, as well as long-term problems like asthma.
New solutions for Demand Ventilation Control.
With the new Siemens QPA20xx and QPM21xx Series
of
air sensors, you can meet your customers’ Demand Ventilation Control strategies. Siemens Air Quality Sensors measure more than CO2 – perfume, odors, smoke, most any volatile organic compounds – anything that interferes with clean, crisp room air can be detected and corrected in rooms occupied by one person or thousands.

This enables you to help your building owners create a higher quality facility and provide a better environment for occupants.
This expanded air quality sensor range from Siemens now includes:
• Pure CO2 sensors
• CO2/VOC sensors
• Combination models with
CO2/Temperature
• Combination models with CO2/Humidity/Temperature
Greater profitability.
With this sensor range, there’s no need for an additional duct mounting kit or aspiration box, which simplifies installation and saves costs, both in product and field labor. Every sensing combination is available as a room version and a true, stand-alone duct version. Click here for more details on Siemens Sensor features and benefits.
