The issue

Based on current knowledge of coronavirus transmission routes, air renewal and good ventilation are recommended to remove virus particles and prevent their accumulation in buildings. But how do we ensure that the ventilation we have in place is effective?

How can digital solutions help manage indoor air quality in buildings ?

In the current context of COVID-19, monitoring the performance and effectiveness of ventilating systems is fundamental. The role of digital solutions is crucial, as they allow facility and building managers to understand the measured data in a given context, putting it in a historical perspective and taking into account a number of variables, such as the occupancy of the building.

Digital solutions help facility and building managers to take the right action, using the right information, at the right time. They provide insight into two aspects:

1. Comfort and air quality: this parameter is measured by the concentration of CO2 in the air.
2. Performance of equipment such as ventilation systems: how effective are they?
