Volatile Organic Compounds

VOCs (volatile organic compounds) are gases that can have a negative impact on indoor air quality in a building automation system. VOCs are typically measured using specialized sensors that are designed to detect the presence of these gases. These sensors can be placed throughout a building to continuously monitor the levels of VOCs and send this data back to the building automation system. The system can then analyze the data and take appropriate actions, such as adjusting the ventilation rate or issuing an alert to building management. By continuously monitoring VOC levels, a building automation system can help ensure that indoor air quality remains safe and comfortable for building occupants.
