by Brianna Crandall — May 26, 2017 — Aircuity, creator of safe, smart and efficient airside solutions for measurably better indoor environments, recently announced the launch of its 2.0 smart air platform. The company says Aircuity 2.0 is ideal for a wide variety of commercial buildings looking to significantly reduce energy costs, improve cognitive function and productivity, and achieve quantifiable results as part of a smart building strategy.
Aircuity’s patented system takes samples of air remotely throughout a facility and routes them to a centralized suite of sensors. By measuring critical indoor environmental parameters, it can provide intelligent input to building ventilation systems for energy efficiency and high-quality indoor environmental quality (IEQ).
Aircuity 2.0 includes the brand new MyAircuity Web and desktop apps that, out-of-the-box, deliver actionable insights, transparency and accountability to building owners and facilities managers (FMs) implementing demand control ventilation — energy conservation measures with a high total return on investment.
The MyAircuity Web app was designed with users’ input and moves beyond simple data trends to deliver deeper analytics of cost and energy savings, indoor environmental quality responses, and occupant behaviors. The redesigned user interface presents the highest priority information for each stakeholder, on demand or delivered to their inbox or mobile device.
The MyAircuity desktop app embeds the company’s two decades of experience and deep understanding of the complexity and life cycle of airside projects. From concept through design to start-up and turn-over, the engineering toolset ensures high-quality, properly integrated and cyber-secure implementations, says the company.
Aircuity 2.0 also includes physical system upgrades. Among other initiatives, Aircuity made a significant investment to enhance the intelligence of its devices so the system can better “watch itself” and has migrated its data center to Microsoft Azure. The result is increased availability, reliability and security, which in turn increases the return on investment for Aircuity’s customers.
Aircuity will be working with their customers to migrate its entire portfolio, over 700 installations in 17 countries, to the new smart air platform so that all will benefit from the new features. Aircuity 2.0 was designed with this migration in mind, so the process takes as little as 30 minutes per system, says the company.
Since its launch in 2000, Aircuity has supplied demand control ventilation and indoor environmental quality solutions through its intelligent building platform, reducing energy costs by as much as 60 percent and improving IAQ at over 400 organizations, including such leading institutions as Masdar City, Michigan State University, Eli Lilly and Google. Aircuity 2.0 further distinguishes Aircuity as a robust, efficient, and verifiable airside solution, says the company.
