Optimizing IAQ in Winter

What Happens to Your IAQ in Winter

Your building, and its air quality, is impacted by a range of environmental and operational factors during the winter months.

More Time Spent Indoors: As people move inside for larger stretches, they experience more concentrated time breathing indoor air.
Icon of a thermometer
Lower Average Outdoor Temperature: Lower temperatures mean increased heat usage and limited circulation of outdoor air.
Icon of a virus
Spread of Cold and Flu Viruses: Airborne viruses more easily spread in cold environments leading to increased concentrations.

Lower Humidity: Lower temperatures mean dryer air, which is linked to occupant health and comfort.

Higher CO2 Levels: More people gathering inside means higher baseline concentrations of CO2.

A Unified Solution for Winter IAQ Challenges

With powerful purifying capabilities and networked connectivity, Fellowes Array is designed to solve air quality challenges of the winter months. As the only localized purification and monitoring system designed for BMS integration, Array optimizes indoor air quality while reducing energy consumption to create healthy, cost-efficient buildings.

Proven to Address the IAQ Challenges of Winter

Scenario 1

Colder temperatures keep occupants inside for longer stretches of time.

In winter, buildings typically reduce outdoor ventilation to conserve heat. Combined with fewer people leaving for breaks or off-site meetings, this leads to higher occupancy indoors—and rising CO₂ levels. Array's EnviroSmart+ Technology detects changes to occupancy and contaminants and increases its fan speed to help control CO₂ buildup. At the same time, it sends real-time data through Relay to the BMS, which fine-tunes HVAC ventilation to maintain healthy indoor air quality while avoiding unnecessary energy use.

Scenario 2

Winter brings lower humidity levels.

During the winter months, dry indoor air affects both comfort and air quality in a shared workspace. Employees experience discomfort such as dry and irritated skin. Array's sensor suite detects low humidity levels and sends real-time data to Relay, which alerts the BMS. In response, the BMS activates the building's humidifier to restore optimal humidity levels, improving occupant comfort and maintaining a healthier indoor environment.
Scenario 3

Higher levels of particulate matter.

As a virus starts to affect a few employees, Array is able to detect a heighten level of PM2.5 in the air and adjust fan speed to capture the virus closer to the source to reduce its likelihood of spreading throughout the office space. H13 True HEPA filters are 99.95% effective at capturing contaminants as small as .01 microns like viruses. Array has been tested and proven to capture H1N1, Rhinovirus, and COVID-19.

Scenario 4

A winter storm brings lower air pressure to the region.

In a server room where maintaining positive air pressure is critical, strong winds outside can cause a slight pressure drop, threatening the integrity of sensitive equipment. Array's sensor suite detects the change and relays real-time data to the BMS, which triggers an automatic response. The HVAC system increases airflow, stabilizing pressure levels. With continuous monitoring and automated adjustments, Array helps maintain a controlled environment, ensuring the servers stay at peak performance.
