Until recently sensing and control in the buildings market was primarily focused on temperature control and brute force air movement. Now concerns about energy usage, operating efficiency, liability and ensuring a healthy and productive building environment are creating an opportunity for a new class of building sensor technologies. This is the AirTest sweet spot. Our value is our understanding of these markets and our ability to provide the most appropriate and cost effective technology for building owners and contractors. We also provide a wide range of sales tools to help our customers sell the value proposition of our products when integrated into the systems they sell and install.

We also understand where the market is going and can offer the latest innovations in our products that reduce installation costs and create competitive advantage for our customers. These innovations include wireless and digital based communication (LonWorks®, RS485, MODBus® and soon BACnet®). We are constantly innovating with our technology partners.

By intention, our products cannot be found in the typical industry sales catalogs that tend to offer the usual products offered by everybody, everywhere. AirTest products are designed to offer distinct benefits over and above that typically available on the market.

AirTest’s product portfolio includes over 300 sensor products that can be configured to work with any monitoring or building control system. Major product categories include:

• Infrared gas sensors for CO2 based ventilation control that can significantly reduce energy usage and optimize air quality in buildings.
• Best-of-class humidity and dew point sensors to prevent mold problems, better control comfort, and to ensure stable conditions in manufacturing environments.
• Thin film air velocity transmitters and switches used to monitor airflow or prove equipment operation.
• Gas sensors targeted to control ventilation in parking facilities and other enclosed spaces where vehicles are operated. Results can be significant energy savings and assurance of a safe environment.
• Refrigerant gas sensors that can quickly identify costly and dangerous leaks in air conditioning and refrigeration equipment.
• Gas sensors for health and safety application in buildings that are used to detect the presence of health threatening gases that may be associated with combustion, industrial processes or storage of potentially toxic materials.

AirTest has also been researching sensor options to protect buildings from a homeland security perspective and plans to introduce technology in 2004 that will enhance the security of buildings from airborne threats.
