Warren, NJ (PRWEB) – AppliedSensor, a designer and manufacturer of chemical sensor components, announced today that its iAQ-100 intelligent Indoor Air Quality Module is installed in Newell Instruments’ Equinox House. The “net zero residence” is known for its ability to consume the same amount of energy as it produces, and was featured in a recent ASHRAE Journal article series. The iAQ-100 is incorporated into the home’s Conditioning Energy Recovery Ventilator (CERV) to detect and remove a broad range of potentially harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs). When VOCs are minimized, the module instructs the system to decrease ventilation, thereby improving energy efficiency and lowering utility costs. Data gathered by Newell Instruments shows a consistent correlation of VOC-to-CO2 levels. In addition, overall results indicate optimal indoor air quality and quick recovery from episodes involving higher levels of VOCs.
