Indoor Air Quality
Powerful purification sensors
DYSON HAS RELEASED its latest generation of purification sensors, designed to tackle indoor pollution within workspaces and classrooms as well as the home.
The range will be available in Australia this month. Conventional ventilation, air circulation and air conditioning systems in work and classroom spaces may not have adequate HEPA filtration.
Dyson’s latest purifiers are engineered to pro- vide high-quality filtration and powerful projec- tion to support existing HVAC systems and pro- vide cleaner, purified air throughout office and classroom spaces.
Dyson engineers have re-engineered the ma- chine airflow pathways to achieve sealed HEPA 13 standard filtration - not only ensuring that no air bypasses the filter, but blocking any potential leak points through which dirty air might enter the airflow.
A new, solid-state formaldehyde sensor works alongside Dyson’s unique algorithm to precisely monitor formaldehyde levels – intelligently ignor- ing other gases which are detected by a dedicated VOC sensor. Improvements of the airflow journey have made the machine 20 per cent quieter with- out compromising on purification performance.
In addition to the existing particle, NO2, VOCs, temperature and humidity sensors, the integration of an intelligent formaldehyde sensor ensures precise sensing of the pollutant for the lifetime of the machine.
The Dyson formaldehyde sensor does not dry out and its unique intelligent algorithm cross- checks data every second, selectively sensing to avoid confusion with other VOCs.
The Selective Catalytic Oxidation (SCO) filter destroys formaldehyde at a molecular level.

GLOBAL IAQ MANAGEMENT
company, uHoo, has launched an in- door environmental quality monitor for businesses and building owners.
The uHoo Aura provides real- time data and actionable insights on key indoor environmental qual- ity factors to help businesses and building owners create a healthy, safe, and productive workplace.
It monitors 13 different indoor environmental parameters – temperature, relative humidity, carbon dioxide, various particle sizes (PM10, PM4, PM2.5, PM1), carbon monoxide, formalde- hyde, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), air pressure, light, and sound – so business owners can customize and track IEQ factors according to their business needs.
A simplified dashboard provides a consoli- dated view of all the devices in the different locations as well as customized email and push notification alerts that can be set up to help prioritize and take action on specific is- sues in the building.
Advanced analytics and proprietary uHoo In- dices provide valuable insights on trends and patterns to easily identify events that may have caused air quality issues so they can be prevent- ed in the future; owners can make informed decisions to ensure health, safety, and wellbeing.
The option to share data is also especially helpful for businesses looking to achieve sustain-
ability and green building certifica- tions as well as providing confidence and peace of mind to customers, em- ployees, and building occupants.
uHoo Aura can easily be integrated with any software or building man- agement system. Integration allows automation of the building’s heating, air-conditioning, and ventilation (HVAC) system to enhance comfort
and safety while optimizing energy use; thereby creating a smarter and healthier building and of- fice environment.
Dustin Jefferson S. Onghanseng, uHoo CEO and co-founder, said there is an urgent need for investment in the health, safety and well-being of employees and building occupants.
He said uHoo Aura empowers business lead- ers to take control of the air their customers and employees breathe to create healthy buildings.
uHoo Aura comes with the uHoo Virus Index, the world’s first real-time assessment of virus survival and transmission risk (such as the coro- navirus) based on air quality.
The patent-pending technology analyses key air quality factors to provide simplified scoring of virus survival and transmission risk in the work- place and recommendations on minimizing the risk to create a healthier indoor environment.
