Better air is the cheapest upgrade your tenants will notice.
Stuffy conference rooms, afternoon headaches, and smoke-season complaints usually trace back to how a building moves air. We measure what's happening across your zones, find what's actually wrong, and turn it into a plan your facilities team can run.
Most buildings don't need a bigger system. They need to know what theirs is doing.
Measured Air looks at how air actually moves through every zone, then turns it into a prioritized plan your team can act on.
-
How outdoor air enters through rooftop units, doors, and the building envelope
-
Whether each zone gets enough fresh air for how many people actually use it
-
How CO₂ climbs in conference rooms and open floors through the afternoon
-
Whether your filters are right-sized, or quietly choking the fans behind them
-
How smoke and inversions change what the building should do
-
Whether tenants need better filtration, ventilation, controls, or all three
Designed for the way buildings here actually run.
Wasatch Front buildings share a specific mix of challenges, from inversions and smoke to rooftop units running on old schedules. We help you operate a building that holds up on bad-air days, without over-spending to get there.
We use data to make practical recommendations, not to alarm your tenants.
Depending on the building and your goals, we can monitor:
- PM2.5
Fine particles from traffic, smoke, and rooftop intakes
- CO₂
Carbon dioxide by zone, tied to real occupancy
- Temp · RH
Comfort drift across floors and tenants
- Fresh air
Outdoor air delivered per person, per zone
- Filtration
Whether MERV ratings survive your static pressure
- Economizer
Whether free cooling is helping or pulling in bad air
- Pressure
How floors, stairwells, and tenants push air around
- Runtime
When systems actually run versus the schedule on paper
A clear picture of your building's air, zone by zone, and a plan to improve it.
-
Walkthrough
We review your rooftop units, air handlers, filtration, controls, and ventilation strategy alongside how each tenant space is really used.
-
Monitoring
We place monitors across representative zones and compare them to outdoor conditions over two to four weeks, capturing mornings, full rooms, and after-hours.
-
Diagnostics
Where useful, we test fresh-air delivery, pressure relationships between floors and tenants, economizer behavior, and how filtration holds up under load.
-
Clean-air plan
You receive a prioritized report with recommended upgrades, filter and control settings, smoke-event procedures, and documentation you can share with tenants.
-
Verification
After changes are made, we re-check the data to confirm the building is genuinely performing better, zone by zone.
We measure first, then recommend.
Every building is different, but improvements often include these. No one-size-fits-all advice, and nothing you can't maintain.
- Right-sized MERV upgrades the fans can actually handle
- Fresh-air settings matched to real occupancy, not nameplate counts
- CO₂-based ventilation control in meeting rooms and dense floors
- Economizer fixes so free cooling stops pulling in smoke
- Schedules that match when the building is truly occupied
- Standalone filtration for lobbies, suites, or hard-to-serve zones
- Smoke-event procedures the facilities team can run in minutes
- Tenant-ready reporting for comfort complaints and lease questions
- Pre and post verification around any mechanical work
- A documentation trail for wellness or green-building credits
A single rooftop unit can't fix a floor it was never sized for.
Plenty of Salt Lake spaces run on basic, single-zone equipment with little fresh-air control. We design realistic strategies for buildings with:
Usually the best answer is a mix of right-sized filtration, smarter controls, targeted ventilation, and standalone units where the central system can't reach.
When the air outside turns, your building needs a procedure, not a scramble.
We build your facilities team a simple, written playbook for the two events that hit the Wasatch Front hardest.
For wildfire-smoke events: which dampers to close, which filters to swap, and how to keep shared lobbies from spreading the problem across tenants.
For winter inversions: when to recirculate, how to read outdoor data, and how to keep comfort and fresh air in balance without trapping pollution inside.
- When to close outdoor-air dampers, and when leaving them open is worse
- Which filters to upgrade before a smoke event, and which zones come first
- How to keep lobbies and shared air from spreading the problem
- What to tell tenants, and when, so the building stays ahead of complaints
- How to read outdoor data to decide whether to recirculate
- How to verify the building recovered once the event passes
Measured Air is a good fit if…
- Tenants are reporting stuffiness, headaches, or afternoon slumps
- You manage multiple zones, floors, or tenants under one system
- You operate an older Salt Lake building or a converted space
- Smoke and inversion season disrupts how the building runs
- You're weighing an HVAC or filtration spend and want data first
- You need documentation for a lease, a comfort dispute, or a certification
- You want a practical plan, not a proprietary service contract
Every assessment includes
- Building IAQ walkthrough
- Zone-by-zone monitoring
- Fresh-air & filtration review
- Economizer & controls check
- Pressure & airflow diagnostics
- Smoke-event procedures
- Tenant-ready reporting
- Written plan & next steps
Plus optional contractor-ready scope for HVAC, controls, filtration, or commissioning work.
We don't sell equipment or a proprietary service contract. We recommend standard, serviceable improvements your team and trades can maintain, and when licensed work is needed, we help define the scope and coordinate with qualified contractors and your existing HVAC partners.
Salt Lake air can be unpredictable. The air your tenants pay for doesn't have to be.
Measure what's happening across your zones, fix what matters, and walk into smoke season with a plan instead of a complaint queue.
