Overture Indoor Air Quality Monitoring for Offices & Retail

In an office or a store, the air drives two things you can measure: how well people think, and how much you spend conditioning the space. As CO2 climbs through the day, cognition and decision-making decline. As ventilation runs flat-out on a fixed schedule, you pay for air changes you do not need. Overture handles both. Our Room Sensors track the air in every space, and the system automates a response: it can push an ERV into boost mode, run demand-controlled ventilation, trip a make-up air fan, or run the air handler to circulate and filter the air. It does not just tell you the air is bad. It does something about it.

Why Offices and Retail Should Monitor and Control Their Air

The air in a commercial space affects your people and your operating cost at the same time:

• Lower CO2 keeps employees sharp. Cognition and complex problem-solving measurably decline as indoor CO2 rises, so controlling it protects productivity and decision quality.
• Cleaner air at the point of use means a more comfortable space for staff and customers, fewer complaints, and lower absenteeism.
• Demand-controlled ventilation cuts energy waste. Instead of running fans on a fixed schedule, Overture ventilates when the data says to, which can reduce ventilation runtime by roughly 70% and save on the order of 1,400 kWh/yr per unit (TRC Engineering study).

CO2 is one of the metrics every Overture Room Sensor tracks, alongside PM2.5, TVOC, humidity, and temperature. OSHA's 5,000 ppm limit is a worker-safety ceiling, not a comfort or performance target, and it tells you nothing about how people perform. The number that matters for an office is far lower. Research from Harvard's Healthy Buildings program links rising indoor CO2 to measurable drops in cognitive function, and we target around 550 ppm in occupied spaces. Overture watches the level in every room and, when it climbs, automatically brings in fresh air, so you hold that target without anyone touching a thermostat.

How Overture Monitors and Takes Control

An Overture system scales from a handful of rooms to hundreds of locations. Plug in the Room Sensors, open the web-based interface, and the system tracks the air and acts on it:

• Plug-in Room Sensors that run continuously, with no batteries to change
• Commercial-grade sensing of CO2, PM2.5, TVOC, humidity, and temperature
• Real-time data across up to 500 locations in one web-based interface
• Automated action: the system can trigger an ERV, a make-up air fan, a bath fan, a dehumidifier, or the forced-air blower through a Smart Plug or Wall Control. No other IAQ sensor does this.
• Use the Overture app for roughly 1 to 10 locations, and the web-based interface for roughly 50 to 500
