Indoor Air Quality Monitoring in Oregon

Modern buildings in Oregon are more energy efficient than ever before, but even they face the same challenges as older homes and businesses. Cold and damp winters, warm and dry summers, and wildfire smoke all pose threats to indoor air quality whether a property is near the coast, in the heart of Portland, nestled in wine country, or close to Mount Hood. Overture IAQ offers residential and commercial customers a way to make measuring and improving air quality easier than ever. The Overture™ system is a fully automated, turnkey solution designed to help users get healthy air without the effort of manually operating ventilation equipment themselves.

Measuring & Improving Indoor Air Quality

Overture™ is not the only indoor air quality monitoring system on the market, but it is the only one that can go the extra mile for users from the moment it’s taken out of the box. Where other systems require third-party hardware and complicated programming in order to automate equipment, that feature comes standard in Overture IAQ’s turnkey systems.

Other reasons why Overture™ systems are preferred by users throughout Oregon include:

• Battery-free power: The Overture™ system never needs to have batteries swapped or recharged, as it simply plugs into an existing power outlet.
• Retrofit friendliness: Buildings that were constructed before modern ventilation standards were implemented can still benefit from an Overture™ system, as it can connect with any compatible ventilation equipment without the need to replace an entire HVAC system.
• Easy monitoring: Overture™ uses an app (for residential systems) and a web-based dashboard (for commercial systems) with user-friendly interfaces to make indoor air quality monitoring a breeze for just one location or even hundreds of them, no matter where you are.
• Individual room targeting: If the air quality within one room of a building is not ideal, but others nearby have healthy IAQ levels, Overture™ can activate only the ventilation components that affect that particular room.
• Outlet compatibility: Overture plugs right into 24V dry contacts, 120V outlets, and Smart Wall Controls, and its Room Sensor, Smart Plug, and Wall Control components get to work right away.
• Warranty protection: All Overture™ systems are backed by our one-year warranty on parts and hardware.

Scalable Indoor Air Quality Solutions for Residential & Commercial Properties in Oregon

Overture IAQ’s products are designed to make indoor air quality monitoring and adjustments simple at residential and commercial buildings of all shapes, sizes, ages, and functions.

Residential Overture™ Systems

Even if a home is tightly sealed and built with energy efficiency in mind, there are still so many air pollutants that are small, mobile, and hardy enough to get inside and create a less comfortable indoor environment. Getting rid of unhealthy air pollutants only becomes more difficult during an active fire season. Overture™ makes it easier no matter what kind of Oregon home it’s plugged into, from newer homes to historic homes and retrofits.

Home builders and contractors can give potential buyers total control over IAQ measurement and adjustments by installing Overture™ systems during the construction phase. Because all of the ventilation components within the home are new and compatible with Overture™, the homeowner will never have to worry about increasing bath fan operation, turning on a range hood or dehumidifier, boosting an ERV, controlling make-up air, running the forced-air blower, or switching the HVAC system to the “recirculate” setting to help combat the effects of wildfire smoke.

Commercial Overture™ Systems

Frequent occupancy changes can affect any commercial building’s air quality throughout the day, making it difficult to adapt to the changes without the help of an automated system like Overture™. Using the web-based dashboard, which features Google Maps integration, property managers can comfortably use one centralized platform to monitor indoor air quality levels in as few as 20 or more than 500 locations of a large portfolio in Oregon at once. Overture™ is the ideal IAQ tool for:

• Schools
• Dormitories
• Assisted living communities
• Healthcare centers
• Military housing
• Small offices
• Strip malls
• Multi-unit developments
• Apartment complexes
• Large office buildings

Vape Alert Technology

Property managers who have been struggling against indoor vaping issues at schools, dormitories, and other commercial buildings can gain a valuable ally in Overture IAQ. That’s because Overture™ systems feature Vape Alert technology that can detect vaping particles in an area and immediately send notifications, allowing property managers to act faster than before.

IAQ Measurements Recorded by Overture™

Overture™ systems measure five key factors of indoor air quality: CO2, PM2.5, TVOC, humidity, and temperature. Some of these are airborne pollutants, while others serve more as barometers of both overall IAQ and a mechanical ventilation system’s efficiency. Tracking these particular factors allows Overture™ systems to verify that equipment is working as intended and to automatically activate equipment when a room’s IAQ levels aren’t ideal. This also eliminates the need to program equipment to run on a fixed schedule regardless of IAQ measurements.
