ScioSense environmental sensors for home and building automation are key to providing a comfortable and productive environment, while minimizing costs and energy use.
Natural light and fresh air are known to boost our creativity, focus, and happiness. So, ensuring our homes and offices can replicate those conditions is important, while minimizing energy costs. That’s where smart thermostats and utility meters, as well as automated ventilation and lighting control, help bring the outdoors into our homes.
Centralized control of heating and ventilation systems are one of primary benefits of building management systems. For our homes this is often in the form of remote control while for buildings it is more likely to be automated control – switching off heating and ventilation in rooms not currently in use.
Demand Controlled Ventilation (DCV) moves beyond simple scheduling by dynamically adjusting the fresh air intake based on occupancy and real-time air quality data. This dynamic system is essential because human activity rapidly increases indoor CO2 concentration, which directly impacts cognitive function and worker productivity.
Furthermore, indoor environments accumulate harmful Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) from furnishings and cleaning products. DCV systems use high-accuracy environmental sensors to measure these critical parameters instantly and accurately.
By constantly feeding precise measurements of CO2, VOCs, temperature, and humidity back to the HVAC optimization engine, our sensors ensure the system only runs as much as necessary. This approach eliminates the energy waste associated with over-ventilation—pumping in and heating/cooling unnecessary amounts of outside air—leading to dramatic energy savings and lower utility costs for the building operator or homeowner.
Ultimately, integrating ScioSense technology ensures superior Indoor Air Quality (IAQ), optimizing occupant comfort and health without sacrificing cost efficiency.
Our reliable sensing solution is the foundation for a truly smart and sustainable infrastructure.
As a specialist in environmental and flow sensor technology, ScioSense enables companies to use the planet’s resources more sustainably, helping to create a healthier future for all.
