The Mahomet Public Library had a fresh air problem: there was too much.
“They had so much fresh air coming in that their air conditioning system could not handle that load,” said Ty Newell, vice president of Newell Instruments Inc. “It was like they were trying to air condition the outside.”
When the library consulted Ty for help, he developed an indoor air quality, temperature and humidity test.
“It was a bunch of wires and circuit boards just lying on a desk,” Ty said. The wires evolved into a box called the Black Box IAQ.
