Nine states have set a shared goal to have heat pumps make up at least 65% of the shipments of residential heating, air-conditioning, and water-heating products by 2030.
The platform adjusts air-change rates based on continuously monitored particle levels. Airflow is optimized when particle levels are low and increased as levels rise.
Research shows that PM2.5 from wildfire smoke is particularly damaging and can cause a range of issues, including both pulmonary and cardiovascular concerns.
Everyone involved with IAQ knows about the 1970s, when excess energy use became Public Enemy No. 1 for commercial building designers. Saving energy was the critical goal: Air leaks were being hunted like wild animals, and windows and doors were sealed so tightly that not a breath of conditioned air could seep out.
Designed to measure IAQ, this product is a contamination-resistant optical sensor that enables accurate measurements throughout its projected lifetime of more than eight years. It measures 41 x 41 x 12 mm3 and fits in compact applications like wall-mounted or compact air quality devices.
Hotel Milano Scala has recently installed a new Mitsubishi Electric filtration system. Fresh air entering the interior spaces is treated in four air handling units — three rated at 5,000 m3/h plus one at 10,000 m3/h for a total air treatment capacity of 25,000 m3/h — composed of a class G4 pre-filter and a class F9 final filter (the same ones used in hospitals to prevent contamination).
This six-channel particulate meter optionally incorporates sensors for additional environmental parameters, such as total volatile organic compounds (TVOCs), carbon dioxide (CO2), temperature, and relative humidity.
