The air within homes and other buildings can be more seriously polluted than the outdoor air. People spend approximately 90 percent of their time indoors. Thus, for many people, the risks to health may be greater due to exposure to air pollution indoors than outdoors. (Click here to see Full Report)
In order to create a healthy buildings we will look at the different systems and infrastructure that make up the air flow in the building, including mainly air conditioning system, ventilation system and air purification system.
In addition to those main systems we will also analyze the building envelope (windows, doors, etc) and in some cases other systems like extraction and presurization systems, which can affect the indor thermal comfort, humidity and air quality.
Through environmental monitoring, light and people sensing and advanced controls and automation, we will optimize your existing infrastructure or made small changes to ensure your building or space within a building becomes a healthy building, both air quality and sustainability wise, creating healthy spaces while saving energy and reducing overall carbon footprint.
The first step to solve a problem is to understand it, set up a baseline, a starting point, in order to do that we need to measure air quality components inside the space using advance sensing equipment.
After this equipment has been gathering data for some time, and the team has analyzed HVAC systems and infrastructure, we understand the space utilization, issues, potential reasons, user habbits, etc.
With all data and information, the next step is to combine all the information to design the strategy and solution that will help us reduce energy consumption while providing perfect indoor air quality.
Finally, the execution stage will involve modifying the infrastructure, add air quality and permanent sensing equipment and all IoT devices to perform smart automation based on customer requirements.
Understanding the space and the air quality requires proper measurement, this measurement starts before the implementation and continues for the lifetime of the project, and is used not only to identify the issues, but also to provide constant real-time and historical information to the custoemr and the end users (occupants) of a space.
A healthy space requires visibility, communication and transparency with end users is key to work not only on the physical aspects but also on the psychological, ensuring that all occupants are aware about the air quality and they can happily perform in the space, without worries of any kind.
Nevegy IoT air quality monitors and platform are aware of indoor and outdoor parameters and are the key foundation to the complete air quality and automation systems, allowing you to have a perfectly health environment while providing significant energy savings.
Nevegy monitoring systems are looking at several parameters constantly in real time and using that information along with system configuration, customer air quality targets and outdoor environmental parameters to take action.
Sensors are aware of the main indoor air quality parameters and additionally light levels and presence of people, all this data gets aggregated to ensure perfect working conditions.
Nevegy's IoT based technology and AI engines are constantly analizing real time data, historical information and trends to automatically control equipment based on these parameters to always keep perfect air quality comfort levels while minimizing energy use.
Nevegy sensors and devices talk to each other and through carefully thought automation algorythms configured along with the customer, achieve air quality compliance, reduce human intervention and proactively notify about issues that might take place, allowing to save not only on energy, but also in consumable (filter) replacements, facilities management, etc.
Nevegy's sensor based data can be shown in web browsers, APPs and published in big screen TVs to ensure that all your occupants know that they are in a safe healthy indoor space, so that they can worry about doing their work, knowing that they are safe, protected from chemicals, particles, pathogens and any other pollution element.
As we collect data, the next step is to analyze it, understand where the issues are coming from (Ventilation system, windows, doors, HVAC, chemical off gassing, people...)
With all the drawings and data in hand, and all the historical information about the building and occupant behavior, we analyze what the best equipment and infrastructture changes are needed.
Nevegy collected data along with HVAC drawings and floor plans are used to have a completely thorough analisys that will be used in the next steps to design the needed solution.
Once all the data has been analyzed, and we fully understand the space and the customer requirements, it is time to prepare a solution that will achieve the results at the lowest possible cost for the customer.
Nevegy's devices, use a combination of both proprietary and standard technologies like HEPA and carbon filtration, electrostatic precipitation, etc. and combines these with equipment control systems, being able to control HVAC systems, lights, air purification systems, pathogen elimination systems, etc.
The perfect solution needs to combine low cost, high energy efficiency and air quality compliance, in order to do this there is never a single solution for a project, but rather Nevegy will use a combination of technologies and equipment, according to customer requirements to design the perfect solution.
This solution needs to adapt to customer ceiling type (if ceiling mounted), HVAC system (for ducted equipment like virus and bacteria elimination equipment and electrostatic precipitation equipment), landlord requirements and installation possibilities, all these are thoroughly discussed and the proper expectations are laid out prior to any implementation.
Nevegy uses different types of equipment (floor based, ceiling mounted, wall mounted, ducted) to ensure that we can adapt to any space and customer requirements, providing the same quality and functionality with total adaptability.
All our systems are IoT based and include full automation capabilities, so no matter what type of equipment you use, the results will always be the same.
Air pollution is a combination of many possible pollutants, Nevegy has different technologies that target different pollutants, including particulate matter, chemicals, virus, bacteria, CO2 levels, mold, and others.
When we design an implementation, according to the collected data we will design a solution that targets the commun pollutants plus any specific issue that we might find or that might be of special concern to the customer.
Nevegy uses IoT devices to optimize communication between devices and cloud servers, which allows our customers to have real time information of everything that is going on with its infrastructure, being able to modify any configuration, control any device from anywhere or react to any alarm that might be raised..
Additionally, this connectivity allows devices to talk to each other, being able to turn themselves on or off according to specific preconfigured parameters and to respond to environmental events (pollution, presence of people, external light, indoor/outdoor temperature differential, etc.). The connectivity allows us to also connect our devices with 3rd party systems like BMS, etc. providing complete control and management flexibility to our customers
Execution or implementation is the last step before entering into the cycle of monitoring and running the infrastructure, while in many cases, this is the most feared stage due to the construction involved, execution is, in our case, the simplest step.
Implementation is done in a very short time, and it is 100% transparent for the end user, the secret to a simple execution lies on the previous steps, where we have already laid the foundation for a succesful project.
As the result of a good design, implementation is done in a very short time, transparent to end user, making sure that there is no impact in end user's work or tasks and that the only noticeable change is an improvement in space environmental conditions.
An important part of the execution and implementation process is the end user training and communication, so that they understand that an enhancement of the facility has been done, that they can check air quality online at any time and that they can feel secure in the space.
