‹ Return to CERV2 Overview

Outside Pollutant Detection

Build Equinox regularly receives calls and emails from concerned homeowners, builders and designers around North America, as smoke blankets their communities, asking how to manage indoor air quality during these more frequently occurring exceptional events. Bad advice, such as turning off ventilation units, spreads at internet speed. Air quality management requires more than shoot-from-the-hip guessing.

The CERV2 offers an optional outside VOC sensor that enhances indoor air quality by monitoring volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in incoming fresh air. This sensor empowers the CERV2 to automatically suspend ventilation when outdoor VOC levels surpass indoor levels. This proves particularly beneficial in environments susceptible to wildfires or other outdoor pollutants, ensuring that the CERV2 isn’t drawing in contaminated air. The outside VOC sensor can be conveniently installed at the factory or added to existing CERV2 units.
