• Preserving the building’s asset value
• Optimizing energy use
• Providing a consistently healthy and comfortable
• Occupied space

Using the Aircuity Optima System, Danforth is able to provide cost-effective building performance optimization for a healthy, comfortable, efficient building. It can also be used for quick response to comfort and air quality complaints. This award winning building management tool greatly expands your knowledge of the indoor environment.

The Optima Monitor contains a complete array of electronic sensors for continuous monitoring of the indoor air. It also contains multiple mold cartridges for automatic sampling of both indoor and outdoor air.

Measurements include:

Comfort & Ventilation

• Temperature
• Relative Humidity
• Carbon Dioxide

 
Air Cleanliness

• Airborne Particles (fine)
• Airborne Particles (large/dust)
• Odors (TVOC)

Building Pollutants

• Carbon Monoxide
• Ozone
• Radon

 
Mold

• Replaceable mold cartridges

As BOMA notes, “Those who can demonstrate their ongoing efforts to provide a safe indoor environment are in a strong legal and ethical position if problems do arise.”

Use the Optima System for All These Applications:

HVAC System Optimization
Validate the performance of the building control system including economizer or setbacks to ensure energy savings. Fine-tune your heating, ventilating, air conditioning, and control systems to improve comfort levels and reduce complaints.

Results-Based Preventative Maintenance
By measuring and benchmarking your building’s indoor environment, the Optima System enables you to develop a results-based maintenance program. Buildings can be maintained more effectively, labor resources can be used more efficiently, and costs reduced.

Mold Prevention and Assessment
Mold becomes and issue only if ignored. Thus, prevention as well as early detection is key. Use the Optima System to detect building conditions that can promote mold growth, and to monitor indoor mold levels before they become a serious problem. Prompt reports from the Optima System will serve as important elements of an effective prevention program.

Construction and Renovation Monitoring
Construction in or near occupied areas may impact occupants through infiltration of dust, smoke, even mold. The Optima System can be employed in occupied spaces to alert you to these issues early, preventing complaints and costly cleanups.

Instant Response to Complaints
Respond quickly and professionally to occupant concerns by providing a comprehensive building evaluation in as little as 24 hours. The vast majority of complaints can be addressed through simple adjustments or modifications to heating or cooling systems. Subsequent evaluations can be used to document improvements.

Documentation of Baseline Performance
The Optima System offers a cost-effective method to measure and document existing conditions within a building, which can then be used as a baseline if problems occur.

Commissioning
When a building is newly constructed or renovated it is important to measure the indoor environment to assure that design specifications are being met.
