Echoflex Solutions Magnetic Contact Sensor Squamish, British Columbia (19 October 2021) – Energy codes increasingly call for portal status indicators – like an open door or window – to control heating or lighting levels. The new Echoflex Solutions Magnetic Contact Sensor (MC-31) is a simple, wireless sensor that helps users capture those energy savings. When mounted on the inside of a window or door jamb, the Echoflex Magnetic Contact Sensor provides passive occupancy detection. It wirelessly transmits the open or closed status of a door or window to trigger lighting controls or HVAC setback temperature control devices.

Airthings launches View CO₂ for Business with 10 Years of Battery Life

news from Airthings, the global leader in Indoor Air Quality Monitoring solutions for building professionals: earlier today, Airthings officially introduced a new product to its portfolio - View CO₂ for Business.

The new battery-operated, wireless sensor will empower businesses, facilities, and schools everywhere to take charge of their air quality by warning them when carbon dioxide (CO₂) exceeds recommended levels and indoor air quality deteriorates.

View CO₂ for Business combines easily with the rest of the products in the Airthings for Business solution, which lets you monitor, visualize, and control your indoor air quality remotely to ensure a safe and healthy environment. High CO₂ levels can increase the risk of airborne virus transmission and cause lower productivity, drowsiness, headaches, and loss of concentration. Since our bodies expel CO₂ when we breathe out, the levels can rise quickly in enclosed spaces with poor ventilation. For this reason, measuring CO₂ levels serves as a good indicator of indoor air quality and how well a ventilation system is working.

In addition to carbon dioxide, the new View CO₂ for Business also measures temperature, humidity, virus risk, noise, and light. View CO₂ for Business includes a customizable, ultra-low power display to maximize battery life up to ten years. Facility managers and building owners can also remotely monitor and leverage advanced analytics to optimize air quality and energy usage–saving both time and costs.

2.75” Track Mount BACnet® MS/TP Revenue Grade Power Meter for single or three phase systems

made-in-Canada wifi thermostat designed for industrial and light commercial applications

Low voltage control of 1 stage heating, 1 stage cooling and 1 fan. Can also control 1 stage live voltage heating (110V/208/204V).
LTE (cell) version on the way (useful if the building owner / manager doesn't control the wifi network, which is common in light commercial sites).
No 'C' (power) wire required. Uses a rechargeable and self charging battery.
Energy wise, the features are limited but that is inherent in the type of equipment it's designed to control (stuff that you can just turn on and off.... nothing fancy). It allows for remote and zoned scheduling (ie grouping multiple devices to one schedule). They imply optimal start but not clear. Allows for remote access to data (runtime/temps), alarming and notifications
