Radon is a radioactive, invisible gas that comes from the ground. It is the number one cause of lung cancer among non-smokers. Due to radon’s fluctuating nature, long-term, daily monitoring is necessary.

Facility managers are getting pushed to raise the bar. Tenants, employers, parents and the community are demanding optimized spaces that improve health rather than diminish it. Furthermore, new EU legislation demands it. The difficulty is, office windows often don’t open and buildings are made air tight to keep energy costs down – meaning less fresh air. For the average office or other building to compete with new buildings with a wide range of services and amenities they will need to become smarter.
Dell and Intel research notes that “44% of employees worldwide feel that their workspace isn’t smart enough, while more than half (57%) expect to be working in a smart office within the next five years. And when it comes to acquiring new talent, tech matters — Millennials in particular are likely to quit a job with substandard technology.“
Using Indoor Air Quality monitoring systems to analyze and quantify the productivity in offices, businesses or schools allows businesses to attract and retain talent, commercial real estate companies to drive rent and occupancy rates and schools to create safe and healthy places that parents will feel confident sending their children to.
The Solution: Monitor Indoor Air Quality
Optimized Indoor Air Quality generates revenue because it is directly correlated to improved productivity.
JLL’s research on the average per-square-foot annual costs for energy, rent and staff notes that “a 2% energy efficiency improvement would result in savings of $.06 per square foot, but a 2% improvement in productivity would result in $6 per square foot through increased employee performance.“
Introducing Airthings Wave Plus and Airthings Hub.
The first complete system for remote monitoring of Radon and Indoor Air Quality. With the Airthings Dashboard, Airthings mobile app, and an API option, the solution allows facility managers, employers and key decision makers to improve wellbeing and increase productivity by easily monitoring serious indoor air pollutants. The system can adapt to every size building to bring sustainability and energy efficiency to any project at a low cost.

Humidity should ideally be between 30% and 60%. When humidity is too high, it encourages the growth of mold and dust mites, while dry conditions cause dry skin, bloody nose and irritation to your respiratory tract.
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is a greenhouse gas that is natural and harmless in small quantities but as levels rise it can be dangerous to your health. Most commonly produced by the air we exhale, CO2 levels concentrate indoors with less ventilation.
Atmospheric or barometric pressure is the amount of pressure that comes from the atmosphere that changes due to altitude or weather and causes headaches.
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are any emitted gases with short or long-term health effects. VOCs can cause serious health effects in both the short and long term. Health effects vary from minor eye, nose and throat irritations all the way to liver and kidney damage or cancer, depending on the level of exposure.
Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers, killing approximately 58 people per day in the United States. People spend 90 percent of their time indoors and because of this, Airthings believes that measuring Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) is the most important step in preventing illness and improving health, while increasing productivity, and reducing energy consumption. This is why the Airthings Ecosystem is expanding with two new products: Airthings Wave Plus and Airthings Hub. The complete system to measure Indoor Air Quality and Radon in large, populated buildings.
Create healthy, safe and productive workspaces by understanding the indoor air quality from room to room. The Airthings Ecosystem brings you customizable, large scale coverage at a low cost.
The API from Airthings contains all commands and information you need to pull sensor and device information into your own platform–either to act on real-time values or retrieve historical information from the Airthings Cloud. A secure connection to the Airthings Cloud through the API ensures that data is only available to authorized users.
Airthings Wave Plus is the first wirelessly connected and battery operated IAQ monitor with Radon, designed for all populated spaces. Through the Airthings Dashboard or API, users have access to interpretations of IAQ data and tips to reduce indoor air hazards, optimize ventilation and save energy. In addition, users can simply wave in front of the device to receive a color-coded visual indicator of the overall air quality.

Airthings Hub connects up to 50 battery operated devices through Airthings Smartlink, a long-range and low-power wireless data extraction technology. This allows devices to be distributed around a large building, bringing real-time IAQ data is available to users anytime, anywhere. Airthings Hub will be available with Ethernet or a cellular option. The Hub can also operate using Bluetooth while in Bluetooth range of a device (around 10 meters).

The placement of your Airthings Ecosystem devices depends on a number of factors. Each sensor requires a different amount of space and depends on how many walls or barriers break up the space. It is also important to consider what the building is made of to determine the range for the Airthings SmartLink, which is how your Hub will communicate with the Air Quality Monitors to push data in real-time.
Our recommendation is to have a Wave Plus unit for about every 3500 square feet (325m squared) of open space. Keep in mind that the sensors will cover a radius around them, so placing them against outside walls, or in corners of rooms, will cover less space. When placing the Hub, it is important to consider possible obstacles for Airthings SmartLink–metal, concrete and thick walls, all reduce the range.
Airthings is a Norway-based tech company that develops and manufactures both professional radon equipment and consumer facing technology. These products have completely changed the way people monitor and analyze radon and other dangerous indoor air pollutants. Founded in 2008, the company’s products have made radon detection easy, accurate, and user friendly – all of which are current challenges with other solutions on the market. Airthings is on a mission to ensure people around the world take control of their Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) through simple, affordable and accurate solutions.
