So Cloud connectivity for sensors is essential. It is becoming common that large monitors are placed in the common area to show building operations, energy consumption, calculated Carbon Footprint, recycling productivity, and waste reduction and where appropriate LEED points. At the AHR Expo we are demonstrating an Internet of Things, an IAQ sensor system that …

Is the solution to pollution dilution?
Jeff Roseberry - President, ProMark Associates, Inc.
November 10, 2014
Controls and monitors are part of environments where cleaning and purifying air moves beyond the usual HVAC filters and ventilation air. We can now utilize sensors and real time monitors that identify, track, and assure safe destruction of: mold, odors, allergens, bacteria, viruses, corrosion, chemical gases, and VOCs. Powerful proprietary filter media, adapted to each …

Does Innovation in Indoor Air Quality Involve a Paradigm Shift?
Jeff Roseberry - President, ProMark Associates, Inc.
October 14, 2014
Instead of diluting indoor air with compromised outside air, consider removal and destruction of pollutants as part of the HVAC system. Purifying indoor air reduces the level of ventilation required, thereby lessening the energy used to condition outside air. This results in energy savings, increased building value and improved occupant productivity through enhanced indoor air …
