Introduction

Kaiterra enterprise air quality monitors are designed to be intuitive solutions for your

continuous air quality monitoring needs.

These monitors can be used in the following cases:

To gain a better understanding of the air quality in your building

To ensure optimized air quality and occupant comfort

To address concerns of occupants and tenants

To analyze how cleaning chemicals impact air quality

To troubleshoot pollution hot spots and identify under-utilized areas

To evaluate the performance of the filtration and HVAC systems

This guide will assist you in determining the best place to install your Kaiterra Sensedge Mini

air quality monitors for individual rooms, large open spaces, and entire building projects.

This guide will also cover power considerations, network considerations, and device

configuration so you are best prepared to handle your upcoming installation project.

*Our guidelines follow the standards outlined in RESET and WELL v2 for sensor area coverage.

Layout Considerations

You will want to consider installing your air quality monitors in rooms and open spaces that

are regularly occupied. The following chart will give you an idea of the types of rooms and

spaces you should consider.

Standard Spaces

For any of Kaiterra’s enterprise air quality monitors, we recommend an area coverage of

3,500ft² (325m²) with the area of each enclosed space calculated individually*.

Page 4

For example:

One (1) open space of 3,500ft² (325m²) requires one (1) monitor

Three (3) conference rooms of 225ft² (21m²) requires one (1) monitor in each room

Spaces over 3,500ft² (325m²) should consider installing multiple monitors throughout the

room to achieve optimal coverage. It is also recommended to align the sensor deployment

areas with the HVAC thermal zoning plan.

This inclusion of multiple sensors in larger spaces is required for achieving various building

certifications, so be sure to check the requirements for your desired certification in order to

meet their standards.

For projects that are not looking to get certified, you have much more flexibility in terms of

what your goals are with IAQ monitoring and the budget available for the project. Feel free to

contact your account representative at Kaiterra to discuss this further.

The following is a sample floor plan that demonstrates how our air quality monitors should be

distributed throughout a typical building floor plan.

*Note: this aligns with ASHRAE 62.1.

Placement Guidelines

For placement, we recommend the guidelines required for RESET Air certification, which

requires RESET Air Accredited Monitors to be installed according to the following

requirements:

A. Wall-mounted and centrally-located within monitored spaces.

B. Mounted in the breathing zone: between 3-6 feet (0.9-1.8 meters) from the ground

(after finished floor to underside of finished ceiling)*.

C. Located at least 16 feet (~5 meters) away from operable windows. In areas where this

is not possible, monitors must be located no closer to windows than half the width of

the space, measured linearly from the windows inwards.

D. Located at least 16 feet (~5 meters) away from air filters and diffusers. In areas where

this is not possible, monitors must be located closer to air returns than air diffusers.

E. Hard-wired to a permanent power source (recommended but not mandatory).

Other things to consider:

Air is drawn into the Sensedge from both the sensor modules on the bottom and the

air intake on the top. It is vital that neither side of the device is covered as any changes

in the airflow may affect the readings and accuracy of our devices.

In order to avoid direct breathing on a device, which would impact your air quality

readings, try to avoid installing air quality monitors right next to a workspace, providing

at least 3 feet (0.9 meters) of space between the device and any workstations. If the

space does not allow this, then make sure the monitor is facing the occupants back.

Our air quality monitors were designed to be installed in an upright position. Please do

not install our products sideways or upsidedown, as your readings will be impacted.

Ceiling installations are also not ideal. If you are going to proceed with a ceiling

installation, please keep in mind the following:

Since your ceilings are likely above the breathing zone, your devices will be

measuring the air that is not directly associated with the air that your tenants,

colleagues, or customers are breathing in, making your readings less accurate

according to the actual air that would impact these individuals.

Temperature and Relative Humidity readings will especially be influenced: as hot

air rises, the Temperature/Relative Humidity readings can be impacted by

numerous degrees/% compared to the breathing zone levels.

Building certifications, such as WELL, RESET, and LEED, may have their own

requirements for things such as installation height and placement. If this installation is

pursuing any of these certifications, please make sure to check their requirements so

that your air quality monitor is properly installed to their specifications.

Exact room placement may vary based on the type of space, but these spaces can be

categorized into two general scenarios:

1. Enclosed Spaces

2. Open Spaces

Page 8

Enclosed Spaces

Definition: A room enclosed by four walls and a door, which is smaller than 3,500ft².

Image 3. A 2,500ft² (232m²) room with three (3) suggested AQM installation locations.

Page 9

Image 3 is an example of an enclosed space with three (3) suggested installation locations.

Assuming that all three locations fall within the breathing zone of 3-6 feet (0.9-1.8 meters),

all three of these locations are acceptable. However:

Location one (1) has the device installed on the same wall as a door. While this is not

a bad thing in this example, as the door is more than 16 feet (~5 meters) away,

smaller rooms might not be able to make this location work as the space between

the device and the door could be smaller.

Because of this, considering installation locations that are separate from any

doors may be easier to ensure ideal conditions -- but for this example, location

one (1) is acceptable.

Kaiterra air quality monitors should be as central to the room as possible. Because of

this, location two (2) is not ideal. However, since the door on the right is 40 feet (12

meters) away, the installer could shift location two (2) toward the center of the

room to become a better option.

Of the three suggested locations, position three (3) is the most ideal since it is

relatively centralized to the room, does not have any features in the way that might

impact air quality, such as windows or diffusers nearby, will provide great coverage

of the regularly occupied space, and would still be ideal if the room was smaller or

narrower.
