How did you come up with the idea for the company?
听
Our founders have backgrounds in building sciences, energy economics and building retrofit. We observed that there is big room for improvement in the way we currently operate large scale commercial facilities. There were cases where empty spaces were being cooled, ventilated, and at the end of the day nobody was happy with the temperature in the office.
It triggered us to build a product that would help building managers make data driven decisions instead of sailing massive ships without a compass.

How has the company evolved during the pandemic?
听
The pandemic increased the awareness that indoor air matters. Considering Covid-19 is airborne, the air we breathe should be monitored and analyzed constantly to reduce the risk of infections. Not only COVID-19, but many other airborne diseases too.
We are now helping many clients while they are bringing their employees to the offices safely. We helped many shopping malls and airports to reopen safely to reinstate the visitor鈥檚 confidence.
Overall, the pandemic enabled a larger market for indoor environmental monitoring technologies.
