Global climate innovator - Trane Technologies, through its strategic brand - Trane®, has joined forces with indoor air quality monitoring, reporting, and ventilation management company Aircuity® to provide automated, data-based indoor air quality monitoring and management solutions for building owners.
energy efficiency
The integrated Trane and Aircuity system, available in the United States of America (USA) and Canada, collects critical data about a building’s air quality and automatically monitors and adjusts airflow between indoors and outdoors, which is crucial to reducing airborne pathogens and contaminants and managing energy efficiency.
Trane and Aircuity solutions help improve the well-being of building occupants and support WELL-Certified buildings through The International WELL Building Institute® (IWBI), and the new WELL Health & Safety Rating.
Indoor Air quality (iAQ)
Building managers want to know they are taking the right steps to help ensure indoor spaces are being monitored"
“One of the most common questions people ask about the quality of indoor environments is, ‘how do I know the air is safe to breathe?’” said Donny Simmons, President of Commercial HVAC Americas, Trane Technologies.
Donny Simmons adds, “Building managers want to know they are taking the right steps to help ensure indoor spaces are being monitored and maintained to address the safety and health of their occupants. Our collaboration with Aircuity helps provide this assurance. It is one more example of how we’re working with technology-forward companies to address today’s most pressing needs, including healthier and more energy-efficient indoor spaces.”
Aircuity sensors
Data generated by the Aircuity sensors are accessible 24/7 through an online dashboard, to inform building owners of issues they need to resolve.
The system’s sensors gather air quality samples from inside and outdoors, which are sent to a sensor suite where Aircuity evaluates the data to assess and monitor air quality.
improve or maintain IAQ
The system integrates with Trane controls and automatically decides whether to increase, decrease or sustain current ventilation levels to improve or maintain IAQ.
Having these data points and knowing the building is automatically responding to room airflow needs gives greater peace of mind, especially during the global pandemic as people return to office complexes, university campuses, hotels, and other indoor environments.
