Winner at the HVR Awards 2023 - MaintainAway from ARM Environments!
Incredibly proud to announce that MaintainAway was named the Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Initiative of the Year at the HVR Awards! This recognition focused on how our digital monitoring platform directly protects the health of building occupants.
This award comes just months after the innovation won the ASHRAE UK Technology Award for Smart Buildings, which you can read more about here.
How does MaintainAway improve Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)?
MaintainAway improves IAQ by providing real-time monitoring of ventilation performance. Unlike traditional systems that are only checked once or twice a year, MaintainAway alerts managers the moment air filtration or flow rates drop below safe levels. This ensures that "clean air" is a constant reality, not just a design goal.
Why is digital HVAC monitoring essential for IAQ?
Digital monitoring is essential because air quality is invisible. A fan might be spinning, but if a filter is bypassed or a damper is stuck, the IAQ will suffer. MaintainAway uses an array of advanced sensors to monitor these "hidden" failures, ensuring the ventilation system is actually delivering the air it was designed to.
Key Benefits of MaintainAway:
-
Immediate Alerts: Instant notification of air quality "dips" or mechanical failures.
-
Verifiable Data: A permanent digital record of IAQ compliance for health and safety audits.
-
Energy Optimization: Ensuring fans only run at the necessary speeds to maintain air quality, saving costs without sacrificing health.
- Extended Lifespan: Systems last longer when strained less. Replacement parts and maintenance are required less frequently thanks to MaintainAway's system insights and automated procedures.
