What's Controlling Your Ventilation?

From Kele Inc.
 

 

Indoor Air Quality is certainly a hot topic in the HVAC industry. Practically every trade journal includes at least one Indoor Air Quality article, and sometimes more. This interest in Indoor Air Quality has boosted sales of all types of specialty sensors, including refrigerant leak detectors, carbon monoxide sensors, and carbon dioxide sensors. These are understandable, but what is this new VOC sensor we are reading about that senses not a specific gas, but actually monitors "indoor air quality"? How does it work? Does it work? What does it sense? How is it applied?
