About Indoor Air Quality Testing
Our workplace indoor air quality testing service uses real-time monitoring to provide a clear, continuous picture of the air your team is breathing. We deploy advanced Aranet and Awair sensors to track key pollutants and environmental conditions – detecting fluctuations and emerging trends as they happen.
You can choose between permanent monitoring or short-term air quality surveys, depending on your goals. This flexible approach allows us to quickly identify problem areas, support immediate remediation, and help you maintain safe indoor conditions over time.
The live data we capture supports regulatory compliance, informs building management strategies, and lays the groundwork for future certifications such as WELL or BREEAM. Whether you’re responding to complaints, planning improvements, or proactively safeguarding your workplace, we give you the insight and evidence to take confident action.

Indoor Air Quality Testing FAQs
What pollutants can air quality sensors detect? ↓
Although not all sensors measure the same set of pollutants, the most common metrics include; relative humidity, temperature, carbon dioxide and particulate matter. More advanced sensors may detect total volatile organic compounds (VOCs), radon, particles per/L and formaldehyde.
How does the installation process work? ↓
Initially an adequate power source is needed (USB-C or plug socket). Air monitoring sensors are connected by way of Wifi, BACnet or Ethernet and commonly funnel data to a smartphone or desktop application. This dashboard gives the user real-time insights and analytics of local air quality. This process is quick and easy and is not intrusive to install.
Can I use air quality sensors to become BREEAM certified? ↓
Air quality monitors cannot be used for BREEAM certifications as these require lab tested air samples, which provide a higher degree of resolution than sensors can provide. WELL and Fitwel green building certifcations however are compatible with air quality sensors and can make the certification process easier.
What is the Air Quality Index (AQI) and how do I calculate my own. ↓
The AQI is the EPA's index for reporting air quality. It is very similar to the UK's DAQI. Both tell you about levels of air pollution by translating the risk posed to you into a numerical score. Scores are paired with recommendation actions and health advice. Software that comes with air quality sensors will display this score automatically for you.
