Help for optimizing the indoor climate
Ventilation plays a crucial role in ensuring a healthy and productive indoor climate in both private and commercial buildings. Good ventilation improves air quality, reduces the risk of disease spreading and increases the comfort of the people staying in the room. In step with technological progress, monitoring and controlling ventilation has become significantly easier and more efficient, especially with solutions such as ÅBN's IoT sensor and the SKYEN platform.
What is ÅBN's IoT sensor?
ÅBN's IoT sensor is an innovative device that measures several important indoor climate factors that have a great influence on the efficiency of ventilation systems. The sensor measures:
- Temperature
- Humidity
- CO2 levels
- Noise
- Brightness
- Total Volatile Organic Compounds (TVOC) – a measurement of air pollution.
This data makes it possible to gain an in-depth insight into the building's indoor climate and helps to identify the need to adjust the ventilation. ÅBN's sensor is specially designed to improve the indoor climate through precise measurement and integration with existing systems.
Integration with VAV damper and MODBUS
One of the most prominent features of ÅBN's IoT sensor is its ability to integrate with Variable Air Volume (VAV) dampers via MODBUS connection and regulators. VAV dampers are often used in ventilation systems to regulate air flow, ensuring that only the required amount of fresh air is supplied to a given area, based on sensor measurements. This technology is essential for maintaining an optimal indoor climate, while keeping energy consumption to a minimum.
The MODBUS protocol is a standard communication protocol used to connect and control devices such as sensors and dampers. By using ÅBN's IoT sensor in connection with VAV dampers, the ventilation systems can be adapted dynamically in real time, which provides a flexible and efficient ventilation solution.
Advantages of using the CLOUD
SKYEN comes with ÅBN's data-driven platform, which helps users gain full insight into their indoor climate. By combining data from the IoT sensor with ÅBN's cloud-based dashboard, you as a user can monitor, analyze and gain knowledge on how to adjust the indoor climate in your buildings in an easy and intuitive way.
Here are some of the most important advantages of using SKYEN in your ventilation work:
1. Real-time monitoring
With SKYEN, you get access to real-time data about the building's indoor climate. This makes it possible to detect problems with the ventilation before they develop into bigger challenges. If the CO2 level e.g. rises to a critical level, the system can automatically adjust the ventilation so that the air quality improves, ensuring a healthier working environment.
2. Integration with existing systems
SKYEN supports integration via both MODBUS and open API. This means that the platform can be easily connected to your existing ventilation and building automation systems. This makes installation and implementation simple and flexible without the need for major conversions.
3. User-friendly dashboard
One of SKYEN's greatest strengths is the intuitive web-based dashboard, which provides a visual overview of all measurements from the IoT sensor. On the dashboard, you can follow indoor climate factors such as temperature, humidity and CO2 level in real time, which makes it easy to make the necessary adjustments.
4. Improved working environment
A good indoor climate is essential for employees' health and productivity. Studies show that lower CO2 levels in office environments can increase cognitive performance by 61%, while a healthy indoor climate can reduce sickness absence by up to 58%. With SKYEN, you can ensure that your ventilation system is constantly optimized to create the best possible indoor climate.
5. Increased energy efficiency
One of the advantages of using VAV dampers in conjunction with SKYEN and the IoT sensor is the increased energy efficiency. The system adjusts the ventilation in relation to the current needs, which minimizes waste of energy. This can have a significant financial advantage in the long term, as the energy costs for ventilation are reduced considerably.
6. Documentation and reporting
SKYEN not only delivers real-time data, but also quarterly reports with detailed insight into your indoor climate. The reports can be used to document compliance with indoor climate standards and to identify areas where improvements can be made.
Practical applications for the CLOUD
SKYEN is already used today by over 75 municipalities and 80 companies, including office buildings, schools and medical centres. The platform's ability to improve the indoor climate has led to noticeable results for many users. For example, employees in Vejle Municipality have reported that they feel less ill at work, while medical centers in Rødovre have experienced fewer cases of headaches and fatigue among patients and staff.
How do you implement ÅBN's IoT sensor and the CLOUD?
The implementation of ÅBN's IoT sensor and the SKYEN platform is simple and requires no complex installations. The system is designed to be plug-and-play, meaning it can be installed without the use of tools or batteries. This makes it a practical and affordable solution for both small and large buildings.
Once the IoT sensor is installed and the connection to the VAV dampers is established via MODBUS, you can start monitoring and adjusting the ventilation through SKYEN's dashboard. The data that the sensor collects gives you insight into how the ventilation can be optimized to create a healthier and more productive environment.
The ventilation of the future with IoT and the CLOUD
Ventilation technology has developed rapidly in recent years, and ÅBN's IoT sensor and the SKYEN platform represent some of the most advanced solutions on the market. By integrating these technologies, you can ensure an optimal indoor climate, reduce energy consumption and increase productivity in your building.
With a focus on ease of use, energy efficiency and health, ÅBN's IoT sensor and SKYEN are an ideal solution for anyone who wants to improve the ventilation in their building. Whether you work with ventilation professionally or simply want to ensure the best indoor climate for your employees or residents, this solution is a strong choice.
Conclusion
Effective ventilation is a necessity to ensure a healthy and productive indoor climate. ÅBN's IoT sensor and the SKYEN platform make it possible to monitor, analyze and improve ventilation in real time, resulting in better air quality, increased comfort and lower energy costs. With easy integration via MODBUS and a user-friendly dashboard, you as a user can have full control over your building's ventilation and indoor climate.
