New technologies for monitoring healthy schools in Spain

New technologies for monitoring educational centres and turning them into healthy buildings are designed to monitor and provide real-time information on the general condition of learning facilities through a graphical user interface.

This software can be implemented ready to use or even completely customised according to the requirements and needs of a particular educational centre. The algorithms integrated into it calculate average values for individual areas (which may consist of one or more rooms), generate alerts when critical values are exceeded, and present historical trends.

Thanks to all these features, administration of the entire system can be assigned to one person. Most importantly, the platform complies with industry standards and guidelines from independent organisations such as ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers).

This monitoring technology, which is part of the healthy building management system from Honeywell, provides accurate and instant information about the current air quality. The sensors Honeywell determine air quality and, in doing so, help to take action to improve it.

This integration allows processes to be automated so that adjustments can be made in real time according to pre-set parameters. The range includes a wide variety of sensors that can measure a single parameter, as well as all-in-one sensors that simultaneously measure temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide, particulates and VOCs.

Features of healthy school monitoring technologies

The monitors that are part of the building management system for learning centres, manage and control key parameters to create a healthier built environment while managing energy efficiency. The air quality package can:

• Assist those responsible for educational establishments in complying with current regulations;
• Manage pressurisation, ventilation, temperature, and humidity;
• Measure environmental and occupancy parameters;
• Provide real-time information on contaminant risk, alerts for changing HEPA filters, cleaning, and occupant behaviour; and
• Monitor and optimise UV sterilisation, air filtration and air composition.

You are at solutions to improve indoor air quality in educational establishments includes hardware and software that can help school and university administrators minimise risk by monitoring, detecting, and responding to potential problems using integrated security tools.

Likewise, with the technology of Honeywell it is possible:

• Manage the flow of occupants (administrative staff, students, etc.), thermal temperature detection, among others.
• Monitor and assist in maintaining compliance with social distancing and space sanitation; and
• Support contact tracing due to potential virus exposure by leveraging advanced video analytics and incident management workflows.

Likewise, the innovative scoring analysis of the technology Honeywell provides real-time alerts to learning centre operations managers so they can quickly address non-compliance issues or infection-related incidents. This includes key building health metrics that can be provided to system users in a simplified dashboard view.

Fully integrated air quality, health, safety, and security controls are backed by expert services and remote monitoring support. Educational institutions can also leverage their existing infrastructure, including third-party solutions, to affordably improve air quality and safety outcomes.

In short, air quality and the health of students and teachers can be taken care of in a relatively simple, quick and cost-effective way. By choosing solutions from Honeywell, you can effectively monitor and improve indoor air quality without replacing existing HVAC systems. This protects previous investments and helps achieve a faster return on investment.

To provide effective protection for students and teachers while avoiding disruption to your existing infrastructure and utilising minimal system administration effort, Please do not hesitate to contact a Honeywell representative. who can answer all your questions and help you select the perfect solution for your needs.
