NewsWire -- AirTest Technologies Inc. (TSXV: AAT) (OTC: AATGF) ("AirTest") President George Graham
is very pleased to announce that AirTest has introduced the
TR9700-wifi CO2, temperature, humidity and pressure
sensor specifically designed for applications in school classrooms
to ensure safe ventilation levels in this era of COVID concerns.
According to Graham, "While many school districts across the
country are looking at upgrading air quality and ventilation
equipment prior to re-occupancy, California is setting the trend
with their comprehensive School Energy Efficiency Stimulus Program
(SEES) that will go into effect later this year. The AirTest
TR9700-WiFi is specifically designed to meet the requirements of
this type of classroom upgrade application." This new three year,
California grant program is intended to install
CO2 sensors for monitoring in school classrooms as
a continuous check of ventilation levels. There is also an option
for CO2 demand-controlled ventilation which allows
ventilation to vary based on classroom occupancy which provides a
balance between air quality and energy use.
The TR9700-WiFi is designed to meet six specific
CO2 monitoring requirements established by the
program. According to Graham, "These requirements for schools have
been very well thought out and will likely become standard practice
throughout North America. Our approach to provide a
multi-functional platform that can produce a cost effect retrofit
solution to school districts interested in maximizing the
effectiveness of their grant allocation."
The California SEES initiatives also fund approaches to ensure
that classrooms are not over pressurized. A key feature of the
TR9700-WiFi platform is an ability to very accurately measure and
in real time, control building pressure based on the use of two
very accurate absolute pressure sensors located inside and outside
the building. This is the first, real time pressure control system
designed to work with the smaller HVAC systems typically used in
school buildings. This approach can ensure air quality and increase
energy efficiency.
The TR9700 has a number of options for communicating CO2
readings to Teachers and maintenance personnel that is capable of
including a local display, phone app, WiFi connection or data that
can be viewed and stored in the cloud. The platform can also use
its WiFi capability to communicate to other HVAC equipment or to
tie into building control networks already established in the
building.
"While we are seeing strong interest from the schools segment,
we also see good opportunity for harvesting energy savings and
providing COVID protection with the multi-parameter TR9700-WiFi
transmitter in commercial, retail and institutional buildings,"
said Graham.
