Client: Nanyang Technological University (Singapore)
Location: Singapore university campuses
Scope: Air quality monitoring across multiple rooms since 2023
Project Overview
As part of an educational program, NTU students utilized Airvoice equipment and software to investigate how real-time air quality data can enhance HVAC efficiency and sustainability across university spaces.
Objectives
- Investigate energy-saving opportunities through enhanced HVAC management.
- Demonstrate significant potential for energy savings in university settings.
Solution
- Deployed Airvoice IAQ sensors to monitor CO2, temperature, PM2.5, PM10, and humidity levels across various university spaces, including small conference rooms and lecture auditoriums.
- Provided students with access to the Airvoice data platform to support real-time monitoring and analysis.
- Students developed a model to dynamically adjust ventilation rates based on real-time CO₂ data, aiming to enhance energy efficiency.
Results
- Students predicted up to 50% energy savings in specific rooms by adjusting HVAC operations based on real-time occupancy data.
- Validated the effectiveness of real-time CO2-based control of HVAC systems.
- Demonstrated potential enhancements in air quality and comfort, leading to a more sustainable campus environment.
