Partly accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, many clients have now invested in air quality monitoring technology and we’re seeing an increasing range of use-cases. In higher education there has been a big focus on CO₂ monitoring at part of the COVID-19 response and implementing guidance from the HSE – find out more and join in our May Webinar. In other sectors, clients are using monitors to validate ventilation performance, identify energy saving opportunities and as part of measures to improve wellbeing and comfort conditions for staff.

The technology is now able to consistently deliver real-world benefits and provide a good return on investment. LCMB have been working with Airthings for the last eight months and their devices address many of the previous shortcomings. Our experience from six-years working in this area also means we understand how to maximise the value of the data these devices produce as part of long-term building optimisation works.  

In summary, I feel we have passed the phase of early adopters and can now quantify the benefits for an organisation and help you decide if IoT is a worthwhile investment for your estate. Costs are directly related to the number of devices, meaning it’s possible to spend anything from a few hundred pounds to tens of thousands. LCMB can help you find the right solution for your buildings that is scaled according to estate size and user requirements.

Below are some examples of how our clients are already benefiting. If you want to discuss specific use cases for your estate, it would be good to hear from you.
