We are excited to announce that Awair Omni, our RESET™ Certified enterprise air quality monitor, now includes Light and Noise tracking.

Thanks to this new functionality, facility owners, building managers, realtors and other professionals will be able to track light and noise levels in a way that benefits employees, tenants, customers and other occupants. This new addition makes Omni one of the few devices available that tracks tenant wellness through a variety of factors, incorporating light, noise and air quality into its monitoring to create healthier, more productive spaces.

Why track light and noise?

With the new update to Omni, Awair partners and clients will have more control over the environment of their spaces, giving them the ability to optimize their indoor environments based on factors that contribute to optimal tenant wellness. Noise and light levels have been shown to have significant effects on a person’s productivity and health over time. Noise has a negative effect on tasks requiring reading comprehension and memory and can lead to increased illness and lower job satisfaction, according to a study conducted by Cornell University. The quality and temperature of workplace lighting can affect circadian rhythm for tenants, according to a study by the American Society of Interior Designers.

What if I already have Omni devices in my building?

If you are an Awair business partner, your current Omni units already have this functionality embedded. It’s now activated and you can start seeing your live data in your Awair Dashboard at dashboard.getawair.com. Please make sure to let us know if you are interested in keeping this functionality on your account as Light and Noise features are currently in ‘Preview Mode’.

For any inquiries about this new functionality, please reach out business@getawair.com.
