Indoor air quality is ever more important in modern public and commercial facilities. Facility managers have a responsibility to ensure that temperature and humidity are maintained at specific levels. Examples include:
 

• Schools: it is proven that higher levels of temperature, humidity and CO2 lower the students concentration, and may even result in headache or uncomfort. Wireless temperature and humidity sensors keep an eye on the dynamics of the air quality throughout the school day.
• Hospitals: patients are often very susceptible to the indoor air quality. Temperature and humidity monitoring ensures that the HVAC system performs as required.
• Production sites: many products require a very specific environmental climate. Especially in pharmaceutical cleanrooms, a temperature and humidity sensor ensures compliance to the stringent processes and legal rules.
• Musea: valuable and often unique pieces of art have to be maintained under a very strict atmosphere. Humidity monitoring can prevent damage to these artworks and the very high costs associated in repairing them.

Energy efficiency has become an equally important issue, due to increasing prices and environmental awareness. Fully automated monitoring systems enable compliance with new legislation in an easy and cost-efficient manner and help to cut energy costs.
