The CDC, ASHRAE, and OSHA recognize engineering controls as one of the most effective ways to protect employees, occupants, and communities from airborne hazards. Engineering controls are built into the design of facilities, equipment, and processes to reduce or eliminate risk at the source. Ventilation is a key strategy for removing contaminants and improving indoor air quality.
Best practices include:
- Installing and maintaining appropriate air-handling systems.
- Verifying that engineering controls perform as intended.
- Enhancing HVAC system performance to improve environmental safety.
- Evaluating opportunities to increase ventilation rates and incorporate technologies such as airflow monitoring, alarms, and automated control systems.
Airflow Management Solutions to Support Risk Reduction
Degree Controls develops airflow monitoring and safety solutions that help organizations verify the effectiveness of their engineering controls. Our products support the measurement and management of airflow, air velocity, temperature, humidity, and room pressurization in critical environments.
Our portfolio includes:
- Airflow switches that trigger alarms when airflow drops below safe operating levels.
- Air velocity and temperature sensors that provide analog or digital outputs to building automation and ventilation control systems.
- Rooster™ alarms and monitoring systems for airflow, differential pressure, temperature, and humidity.
- Airflow visualization and verification tools used to identify leaks, validate airflow patterns, and evaluate air filter performance.
