Indoor Air Quality Monitoring in California

California has one of the most diverse climates of any of the United States. The weather and air quality conditions vary greatly from Northern California to the southernmost areas of Los Angeles and San Diego, but no matter how much these microclimates differ, all of the buildings within them will be impacted by the local air quality. That’s why it’s so important to implement indoor air quality monitoring measures that work for your own home or commercial building. At Overture IAQ, we’ve taken that literally. The Overture™ system is designed not only to measure indoor air quality in real time, it’s also capable of automatically controlling connected ventilation equipment so you don’t have to do it yourself.

Revolutionizing Indoor Air Quality Monitoring

There is nothing on the market that can do what the Overture™ system does in terms of automating indoor air quality adjustments based on its measurements. Other products stop at the point of tracking and recording indoor air quality data, forcing you or your employees to manually operate equipment.

All you have to do is connect the Overture™ system to compatible equipment, and from there you can use either the Overture app or a web-based interface to track the system’s indoor air quality measurements and control its automated functions.

How Overture™ Measures Indoor Air Quality

The Overture™ system works constantly so that your HVAC equipment doesn’t have to. It is always measuring:

• CO2 - The higher the CO2 levels in a building, the sooner that fresh air will be needed to balance them.
• PM2.5 - These tiny, airborne particles are known by researchers to be one of the more pressing indoor air quality concerns.
• TVOC - Total volatile organic compounds (TVOC) come from many sources people see and interact with every day.
• Humidity - Any untreated moisture-related problems can quickly cause air quality issues.
• Temperature - Monitoring the temperature helps the Overture™ system support automated equipment responses, and it can help with understanding more about certain indoor air quality conditions within a building.

The system is designed to activate a building’s compatible ventilation components whenever preset conditions are met. This prevents the equipment from running when it isn’t absolutely necessary to, which could potentially even extend the lifespans of the equipment.

Indoor Air Quality Monitoring At Home

Life is too busy for many California homeowners to worry about constantly managing their indoor air quality, and top-of-the-line HVAC systems can be prohibitively expensive for some. The Overture™ system solves both issues by handling the indoor air quality adjustments on its own and by providing a cost-effective solution for automatically triggering the following types of ventilation equipment:

• Bathroom exhaust fans
• Energy recovery ventilators (ERVs)
• Range hoods
• Dehumidifiers
• Make-up air systems
• Forced-air blowers

Overture™ can be seamlessly integrated into new-construction homes by builders and contractors looking to make their residential projects more convenient for buyers and better suited to meet energy efficiency standards. Even in much older homes and retrofits, Overture™ systems can be used to make it far easier for ventilation components to work more efficiently.

How Homeowners Monitor Indoor Air Quality

Residential Overture™ systems are linked with the Overture app for smartphones, which gives homeowners the ability to see their Overture™ systems’ measurements and more in real time. Plus, the app can be connected with Overture™ systems in up to 10 different locations throughout a home, meaning a homeowner wouldn’t even have to get out of bed or off of the couch to breathe healthier air.

Indoor Air Quality Monitoring at Commercial Properties

Commercial buildings in California face much different challenges than homes do when it comes to managing indoor air quality levels. In addition to devices, appliances, or other factors changing the air quality with every use, these buildings can experience frequent, substantial changes to indoor conditions as occupants come and go throughout the day.

Commercial Overture™ indoor air quality monitoring systems are capable of measuring air quality conditions and automating solutions in facilities with anywhere between 20 and 500 locations, which can be done in the web-based dashboard with a Google Maps interface. Overture™ systems trigger compatible HVAC and ventilation equipment through 24V dry contacts, 120V outlets, and Smart Wall Controls whenever certain thresholds are met. This makes it much faster to take action, much less stressful on ventilation equipment that might otherwise run constantly with less positive effects, and much easier for property managers that would otherwise have to visit dozens, if not hundreds, of units on an individual basis. Overture IAQ’s indoor air quality monitoring systems are ideal for:

• Large office buildings
• Schools
• Retail centers
• Assisted living communities
• Dormitories
• Healthcare centers
• Multi-family communities
• Small offices

Integrated Vape Alert Technology

Vaping particles aren’t good for anyone. An Overture™ system can help remove them from homes, schools, dormitories, assisted living communities, and more buildings with Vape Alert technology that measures these airborne particles and sends alerts so homeowners and property managers can respond as quickly as possible.
