Optimizing Indoor Air Quality for LETA Architecture

Client: LETA Architecture PLLC
Location: New York, NY, USA
Scope: Indoor & outdoor air quality monitoring across 500-sq space since December 2023

Objectives

  • Evaluate indoor air quality (IAQ) to identify problem areas and potential improvements.
  • Enhance air quality and employee wellness in office environments.

Solution

  • Implemented continuous monitoring on particulate matter (PM2.5, PM10), CO2, TVOC, temperature, and humidity.
  • Identified CO2 as the primary pollutant affecting air quality due to insufficient ventilation.
  • Recommended installation of smart ventilation systems to manage CO2 levels effectively and enhance overall air quality.

Results

  • Achieved an overall "Good" IAQ rating, with occasional moderate ratings during peak office hours.
  • Significantly improved CO2 levels, reducing potential impacts on productivity and cognitive function.
  • Enhanced HVAC system effectiveness by integrating real-time monitoring data to optimize air exchanges and reduce particulate levels.
