Indoor Air Quality (CO2) Monitoring
Occupant health, ventilation verification and DCV data.
Why monitor CO2 indoors?
CO2 monitoring shows whether spaces are ventilated for the people in them. The same sensors verify ventilation, give facilities teams evidence for occupants and stakeholders, and supply the data that demand-controlled ventilation uses to cut HVAC energy. It is a health measure and an efficiency measure in one.
What is Indoor Air Quality?
CO2 rises when ventilation does not keep up with occupancy. Monitoring makes ventilation visible.
Data streams to your dashboard and VEM, with alerts when spaces drift outside target.
How does it lower your bill?
- Verify ventilation room by room.
- Feed DCV controls to avoid over-ventilation.
- Document conditions for occupants and leadership.
- Spot failed dampers and economizers early.
Typical savings
Enables DCV savings; monitoring alone is an operational and health measure.
Typical, varies by facility. Confirmed through an on-site audit and metered M&V.
Ideal facilities
- Schools and universities
- Offices
- Hotels and conference space
- Healthcare-adjacent and fitness spaces
Utility capital pays for part of the upgrade
IAQ monitoring is usually bundled with DCV or HVAC controls projects that may qualify for incentives.
- We identify every eligible NV Energy prescriptive and custom incentive.
- We stack lighting with controls to raise the incentive 20–50%.
- We prepare and submit the application, then verify savings under IPMVP.
Measured under IPMVP, monitored 24/7/365
We follow the International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol (IPMVP). Before work starts we set a metered or engineering baseline. After installation we measure the same loads and adjust for weather, occupancy and operating hours. The difference is your verified savings, and it is reported in kWh, kW and dollars.

Frequently asked questions
What CO2 level should we target?
Targets depend on the space and standard used; we set thresholds with you.
Can parents or tenants see the data?
Dashboards can be shared as you choose.
Does IAQ monitoring save energy?
On its own it is a visibility tool. Paired with DCV it reduces HVAC energy.
Do sensors need maintenance?
Quality sensors are low-maintenance; VEM watches for drift.
