摘要： A system and method for centrally assuring building air quality are provided. The method includes collecting, from a set of sensors of a plurality of sensors, at least air quality data, wherein the plurality of sensors are installed in different locations within a building; analyzing the collected air quality data to determine an air-quality level across different locations within the building; determining whether an adjustment to at least one control device is required, wherein the determination is based on the determined air-quality level and at least one energy-consumption parameter; and actuating at least one building control device when an adjustment is required, wherein actuating at least one building control device allows for control of air quality across different locations within the building.

摘要： A system and method for remote calibration of an air-quality sensor device. The method includes receiving sensor data from at least one sensor device; analyzing the received sensor data to identify at least statistically-significant values indicating on at least drift from initial calibrated values of each of the at least one sensor device; for each identified drifted sensor device, computing re-calibration updates, wherein the re-calibration updates adjust the initial calibrated values such that readings of the respective drifted sensor device fall within a range of expected values; and transmitting the re-calibration updates to the respective drifted sensor device, wherein the respective drifted sensor device upon receiving the re-calibration updates is configured to update its calibration parameters.

摘要： A system and method for initial calibration of an air-quality sensor device. The method includes establishing at least a reference response to an environmental condition based on a response of at least one calibrated detector to the environmental condition; establishing at least a sensor response to the environmental condition based on the response of at least one uncalibrated detector to the environmental condition; developing, based on the established sensor response, at least a sensor response slope; determining, based on the established reference response, the established sensor response, and the developed sensor response slope, at least a corrected response; and returning the corrected response.
