It is extremely important to achieve good indoor air quality and all ventilation systems rely on the sensor to provide information, so that an informed decision can be made on the buildings operation… What happens when your Air Quality Sensor is not working properly?
Simple, it means the building management system and ventilation are not working eff ectively or effi ciently and employee’s productivity is greatly aff ected this is known as Sick Building Syndrome (SBS). The majority of CO2 sensors use Single Beam Technology and
this type sensor requires annual calibration (When did you last calibrate your CO2 sensors?) These are NOT suitable for 24/7 applications such as hospitals, hotels and 24hr supermarkets as they need to reset back to the factory base level every 24hrs and will switch off for a number of hours to achieve this.
BAPI’s award-winning CO2 & VOC sensors use the latest technology meaning they can be used in any application including (24/7) and are guaranteed to provide accurate measurements for fi ve years, so no need for costly annual maintenance visits to recalibrate the sensor.
Features and Benefi ts • Dual Channel Technology Suitable for all applications including (24/7)
No drift or annual calibration required Fit and Forget for 5 Years • Visual Traffi c Light Indication Provides quick and easy reference Green good, amber fair & red bad • Automatic Barometric & Temperature Compensation
Works at any altitude and any weather condition
• Calibrated CO2 Sensor Ready to monitor in two minutes • CO2 Range 0 to 2,000 ppm • Field Selectable Output Ranges • Other CO2 Detection Ranges Available From 0 to 50,000 ppm

CONDAIR
A recently published study from the University of Oregon has demonstrated the eff ectiveness of ventilation, fi ltration and humidity to minimise airborne SARS-CoV-2 viral particles.
For three days each, 11 COVID positive subjects undertook diff erent activities in an environmentally controlled chamber. Levels of ventilation, air fi ltration and humidity were varied across the study period and the quantity of viral particles monitored in the air and on surfaces. The researchers found that increasing ventilation and fi ltration
signifi cantly reduced the amount of SARS-CoV-2 viral particles in both the air and on surfaces. When humidity was increased, viral particles in the air reduced by half and caused an increase in viral particles on surfaces.
Tony Fleming, head of sales cluster Northern Europe at Condair, commented: “This research is really signifi cant as it’s the fi rst study to demonstrate how air treatment strategies can impact the airborne transmission of COVID in a physical setting, rather than by computer modelling.

SBS
Smith Brothers is celebrating its 125 year anniversary with origins dating back to 1897, when founder Walter Smith began to lay the foundations of what has become one of the largest independent merchants operating in the UK. The business has transitioned signifi cantly over the 125 years from manufacturing boilers for the shipping industry, to furnishing hundreds of mills built within Leicester and assisting with the war eff orts, before fi nally focussing predominantly on piping and HVAC supplies as the market grew in the 1960s.
Today, SBS remains family owned with 5th generation family members working within the business, which now consists of 17 branches and 400+ members of staff . In its 125 years, SBS has remained focused on its brand promise of staff , stock and service, ensuring customers are at the forefront of every decision, whilst investing in quality.

SAMSUNG
Samsung Climate Solutions has partnered with architectural designer Charlie Luxton to communicate the importance of greener heating options such as heat pumps. Best known for presenting TV programmes such as Building the Dream and Homes by the Sea, Charlie’s own architecture practice channels his passion for the environment and sustainable building. Samsung is constantly innovating, developing, and optimising its air source heat pump (ASHP) off ering to support the transition to cleaner and greener energy. Traditional gas boilers operate on fossil fuels whereas Samsung’s ASHPs use electricity and energy available in the outside air to generate heat.
Charlie said: “You need large corporations to invest and develop, and the fact that Samsung is doing that is a really good mix for the challenge that we’ve got ahead of us.”
Jon Brigly of Samsung Climate Solutions, added: “Charlie is a great partner for us due to our shared passion for driving the switch to low-carbon heating.”

WATERLOO
An iconic British motorcycle marque has moved into its new production facility at Solar Park in Solihull, with air distribution products by Waterloo Air Products. The project required an air distribution system designed to create a healthy environment for both machinery and people. Aesthetics were also a vital consideration to refl ect the brand and provide the perfect backdrop for the luxury motorbikes.
The air distribution system for the manufacturing fl oor where the motorcycles are hand-built has been fi tted with Waterloo’s RWH High-Flo Jet Diff users. Adjoining the manufacturing fl oor are a range of smaller offi ces which are designed with exposed services. Waterloo’s solution was the Circular Plate Vane Swirl Diff user (SDVC) which was supplied with a powder- coated fi nish to match the exposed duct work. For the main offi ces, which are served by a local heat recovery unit, Waterloo specifi ed a Square Plate Vane Swirl Diff user (SDVS) which could be mounted within the gridded or plasterboard ceilings.
