AirTest Technologies Inc. (AAT) has introduced the WiFi CO2 sensor for classrooms.
The TR9700-wifi CO2, is a temperature, humidity and pressure sensor designed to ensure safe ventilation levels during COVID-19.
AirTest President George Graham said the AirTest TR9700-WiFi is specifically designed to meet classroom demands as many school districts look at upgrading their ventilation equipment.
“California is setting the trend with their comprehensive School Energy Efficiency Stimulus Program (SEES) that will go into effect later this year. The AirTest TR9700-WiFi is specifically designed to meet the requirements of this type of classroom upgrade application.”
This new, three year, California grant program is intended to install CO2 sensors for monitoring in school classrooms as a continuous check of ventilation levels. There is also an option for CO2 demand-controlled ventilation which allows ventilation to vary based on classroom occupancy which provides a balance between air quality and energy use.
The TR9700-WiFi is designed to meet six specific CO2 monitoring requirements established by the program. Graham said these requirements for schools have been well thought out and will likely become standard practice throughout North America.
“Our approach is to provide a multi-functional platform that can produce a cost effect retrofit solution to school districts interested in maximizing the effectiveness of their grant allocation.”
The California SEES initiatives also funds approaches to ensure that classrooms are not over pressurized. Some key features of the TR9700-WiFi platform is an ability to accurately measure in real-time and control building pressure based on the use of two very accurate absolute pressure sensors located inside and outside the building.
The TR9700 also has a number of options for communicating CO2 readings to teachers and maintenance personnel through a local display, phone app, WiFi connection or data that can be viewed and stored in the cloud.
The platform can also use its WiFi capability to communicate to other HVAC equipment or to tie into building control networks already established in the building.
“While we are seeing strong interest from the schools segment, we also see good opportunity for harvesting energy savings and providing COVID protection with the multi-parameter TR9700-WiFi transmitter in commercial, retail and institutional buildings,” Graham said.
AirTest Technologies is a green-tech company specializing in sensors that improve commercial building operating efficiency while at the same time create energy savings.
AirTest Technologies Inc. is in the grey at C$0.09 per share.
