Users cannot effectively solve something without effectively measuring it first. With this in mind, as more pressure is placed on ensuring healthier indoor air quality, Elta Fans recommend businesses implement the RESET program as a useful tool to follow for creating healthier and more sustainable environments.
What is RESET?
RESET is the world’s first sensor-based certification program that is performance-driven. Established as an accredited standard for air quality monitoring, it emphasizes continuous results and long-term occupant health.
This data will be key to building awareness around the problems we face and will go a long way in supporting us in achieving the ultimate goal of clean air.

Elta Fans understood that monitoring pollutants were essential for achieving good IAQ
In line with its ethos at Elta Fans, it understood that monitoring pollutants were essential for achieving good IAQ and elevating the need for more rigorous ventilation strategies.
Elta Fans, therefore, made it their mission to become one of the UK’s first companies to hold the RESET certification.
RESET Air certification
Along with monitoring other parameters, for the RESET Air certification, the Midlands head office was audited against CO2 (carbon dioxide), PM2.5 (particulate matter up to 2.5 microns), and TVOCs (total volatile organic compounds).
This process is carried out predominantly online and consists of a sensor deployment plan submission, a preliminary audit, and a three-month-long continuous data collection/audit with monthly reports to gain pass status. Once achieved, the certification is then valid for 12 months.
Results so far
By achieving the new accreditation, not only has the office already seen a 33% decrease in peak CO2 levels but has also successfully achieved a pass status on all data to become RESET certified.
Elta Fans will continue to push for increased awareness around the importance of good IAQ and its link to occupant health as there is still a long way to go. However, achieving the RESET certification is a big step in the right direction and they hope others are inspired to take the same route of change.
