gb&d Magazine explores how indoor air quality data can improve building performance

In a new feature, WellAir CEO Kevin Devlin discusses how better measurement can help building teams make informed decisions about occupant health, building operations and energy use.

Indoor air quality can be difficult to manage when problems go unnoticed. In a feature published October 28, gb&d Magazine looks at how data can help building teams understand indoor conditions and decide what to do next.

The article, “Indoor Air Quality Asset Value Proven in Data,” features WellAir CEO Kevin Devlin and explores a shift in how organizations view clean air: as a factor in both occupant well-being and building performance.

What should a commercial air quality monitor measure?

“Sense the air and monitor, purify, and then optimize” is how Devlin describes WellAir’s approach. That process begins with measurement.

WellAir's NanoDetect commercial air quality monitors track key indoor air quality monitoring parameters, including carbon dioxide, volatile organic compounds and particulate matter, along with temperature, humidity, light, noise and air pressure. Their modular design can also support monitoring for specific contaminants.

With NanoView, building teams can follow indoor conditions over time and use that information to guide decisions. Depending on what the data reveals, a response might include addressing a pollutant source, adjusting building operations or adding air purification.

The feature also examines the potential business value of healthier indoor environments, including research on rental value and employee performance. As Devlin notes, meaningful data can help organizations choose responses based on the conditions they are actually seeing.
