Indoor air quality
Protect comfort before complaints - without wasting energy.
Track CO₂, temperature, humidity and supported particulate readings by room, then connect repeated comfort exceptions to ventilation, occupancy and energy use.

What gets measured
Find the room and time comfort starts to fail.
Building averages hide the meeting room that becomes stuffy at eleven or the guest wing that drifts overnight. Room-level history shows exactly where and when conditions leave the target range.
- Track CO₂, temperature and relative humidity at the zones that matter.
- Add particulate readings where the selected sensor supports them.
- Compare indoor conditions with outdoor and operating context where those inputs are connected.
Early alerts
Reach the operator before the complaint arrives.
Set operational comfort targets by room and period. When a reading leaves the approved range, Volts shows the duration, recent trend and affected zone before the issue becomes a repeated occupant complaint.
- Configure room-level targets without presenting them as universal health or legal limits.
- Notify the roles responsible for the affected zone.
- Trigger ventilation only where an approved control point allows it.
Air & energy together
Fix comfort without over-ventilating the bill.
Place air-quality history beside HVAC schedules and energy use. Facility teams can see whether the room needs more ventilation, a schedule correction or maintenance - not simply more plant hours.
- Compare comfort exceptions with HVAC runtime and operating periods.
- Identify repeated rooms and times instead of treating every alert as a new incident.
- Carry unresolved patterns into maintenance and recurring reports.
Add sensors where the experience actually breaks.
Start with complaint-heavy or high-occupancy zones rather than instrumenting every room by default. Volts connects supported sensors to the same locations, alerts and reporting used for other building data.
What this means in practice
- Survey the rooms, occupancy patterns and existing controls before choosing coverage.
- Agree sensor placement and calibration during the survey.
FAQ
Indoor air quality without oversimplified claims
Do we need a sensor in every room?
Not necessarily. Start with high-occupancy, complaint-heavy or operationally important zones. Final coverage depends on room layout, air movement, sensor range and the decisions the data must support.
What does CO₂ tell us?
Indoor CO₂ can indicate how ventilation is performing relative to occupancy when placement and context are appropriate. It is not a standalone diagnosis of health, air freshness or a legal breach.
Can ventilation react automatically?
Where Volts can reach an approved BMS or relay point, a configured condition may trigger a response.
Is air quality a separate system from metering?
No. Supported air-quality sensors use the same Volts locations, permissions, alerts and reports, allowing comfort data to sit beside energy and equipment operation.
Are the thresholds legal or health limits?
Not by default. Volts thresholds are operational settings chosen for the site. Volts does not publish a regulatory or certification threshold.
How often are sensors calibrated or replaced?
Calibration, verification and replacement follow the sensor manufacturer’s guidance, and the responsibility for each is agreed at handover.
Can tenants or guests see the readings?
Role-based dashboards or displays can expose approved information, scoped to the sites and zones that role covers.
Can Volts prove that complaints will fall?
Volts can document conditions, response time and repeated exceptions. It should claim a reduction in complaints only where the building has measured that outcome against an agreed baseline.
