Space-derived sensor technology for HVAC and building automation

Airgloss designed a unique gas sensing technology for indoor air quality and environmental monitoring based on an array of proprietary MEMS sensing elements combined with AI algorithms and a state-of-the-art pattern recognition for a continuous and real-time chemical analysis of the indoor air. This allows detection and measurement of a wide range of indoor contaminants including carbon monoxide, VOCs, CO2, NO2, Ozone and natural gas leaks as well as other environmental parameters such as pressure, temperature and humidity, background noise. Each airborne pollutant can be identified by its unique ‘chemical signature’. Initially born as advanced aerospace equipment thanks to a collaboration with NASA, and later on furtherly developed to be affordable for commercial and consumer market, Airgloss products feature a new generation of proprietary sensors, based on advanced MEMS technology. Airgloss has been awarded with the “ESA Space Solutions” trademark, created by ESA to give special recognition to products and services that make use of space technology and space-provided services.
