Indoor Air Quality Feature
GROSVENOR ENGINEERING GROUP
(Grosvenor) has launched a unique Indoor Air Quality Monitoring Service (IAQMS) that uti- lises an Internet of Things (IOT) platform to actively track conditions to improve the qual- ity of air in the built environment.
IAQMS tracks nine important air quality parameters in real-time including tempera- ture, humidity, lighting levels, sound, CO2, VOC, particulates, air flow and occupancy.
The company’s national sustainability man- ager, Rod Kington, said the new service is the first of its kind in Australia.
Kington said the quality of air in the build environment significantly impacts people’s health and productivity.
“It is becoming an important benchmark for facility and property owners to ensure the well- being of occupants in their facilities,” he said.
IAQMS delivers a holistic approach to the management of air quality.
Wireless sensors (up to 240) are placed throughout the building which are either ceiling or wall-mounted.
They are connected to an IOT dashboard that includes key analytics findings.
“The IOT platform alerts engineers if con- ditions stray outside defined parameters. Specialists can then tailor and implement a solution,” Kington said.
According to the CSIRO, poor indoor air quality may cost the economy as much as $12 billion a year.
“The aim of IAQMS is to ensure the occu- pants of buildings live in a healthy built en- vironment.
“IAQMS is unique in its ability to provide an end-to-end solution that delivers definable outcomes for occupants. “
Kington said the service delivers measur- able improvements in indoor air quality; helps promote energy savings and CO2 re- ductions; aids building control systems and improves HVAC operation to increase occu- pant productivity.
Grosvenor maintains technical assets for over 17,000 facilities across Australia. IAQMS will be rolled out across Grosvenor’s building network.
EC-Basic-T, EC Basic C02/T, and the Basic H use the same technology.
The controller manages the temperature, C02, or humidity of a room against an adjustable set point. It regulates a .10V output signal applied to a ventilator with a proportional algorithm in di- rect or reverse action. The temperature range knob set point is from 5 to 30°C, and for humid- ity, the relative humidity range is adjustable from 0% to 100%. For C02, the range setting is
from 0-2000 PPM.
The EC-Basic-U universal controller repre-
sents the opportunity to add a nearly infinite number of sensors. From pressure to lights to movement, the universal controller works on the same technology as the other three controllers.
Rigorously tested, simple to use, energy-effi- cient, and easy to install, Pacific Ventilation leads the market on Green Ventilation solutions.

Ventilation on demand
For temperature, Co2, or humidity control, the EC-Basic-T, EC Basic C02/T, and the Basic H use the same technology.
PACIFIC VENTILATION, A subsidiary of Sys- temair AB, Sweden, has made demand con- trol simple.
The use of EC technology in ventilation is be- coming more and more common as companies and building managers face competing pressures to lower costs and reduce grid power consumption.
The new EC Basic controllers from Pacific Ventilation offer an energy-efficient, compact, robust system, that can be used as a stand- alone solution or combined with the universal controller for a nearly infinitely diverse solution to ventilation needs.
In the EC Basic control range, there are four con- trollers to help manage indoor air quality on de- mand. All controllers are simple to install, connect and set up, have 50/60HZ mains option, and can be used on single-phase or three-phase EC fans.
