Indoor air quality monitoring for offices and workplaces in the UAE

Meeting rooms go stale, open-plan floors collect dust and new fit-outs release VOCs. We measure it, show it to your teams and fix what the data finds.

In short

Office air quality depends on ventilation, occupancy and materials. Monitoring CO₂, PM2.5, TVOC, temperature and humidity in meeting rooms and open-plan areas shows where ventilation falls short, gives employees visible data, and supports WELL, LEED and ESG reporting.

Why it matters

Why air quality matters in offices & workplaces

Meeting rooms are the classic problem: ten people, a closed door and CO₂ climbing within the hour. Open-plan floors depend on how well supply air reaches every desk. New furniture and carpets add VOCs for months after a fit-out.

Data connected to the BMS lets ventilation follow real occupancy: more fresh air when rooms are full, less energy when they are empty.

Choosing a purifier

Choosing an air purifier for an office

The most common office complaint, a stuffy meeting room, is not a purifier problem. Purifiers help with dust and fine particles on open-plan floors and in rooms near entrances, loading areas or nearby construction.

Check CO₂ first. If CO₂ climbs through the day in a meeting room, the room needs more fresh air. No purifier lowers CO₂, including the Pro Max, which only displays a reading. Our ventilation and filtration assessment covers that side.

Size by volume. MedicAir’s sizing guidance for offices is about five air changes an hour. Leave headroom below each model’s stated maximum so the units can run at a middle speed through the working day.

Illustrative sizing, not measurements from a HawaQ project. Capacities are MedicAir’s stated maximums at full speed. Five air changes an hour; the Pro’s speeds are from its brochure.
SpaceClean air neededStarting point
Private office, 12 m² × 3 m (36 m³)180 m³/h1 × Pro Mini
Meeting room, 30 m² × 3 m (90 m³)450 m³/h1 × Pro between Medium and High, or 2 × Pro Mini
Open-plan floor, 200 m² × 3 m (600 m³)3,000 m³/h3 × Pro Max, spread across the floor

Spread the units out. On a partitioned floor, several units placed apart clean more of the air than one large unit in a corner. Near desks, noise matters: only the Pro has published airflow and noise at each speed, from up to 180 m³/h at 28 dB on Low to 360 m³/h at 45 dB on Medium.

After a fit-out, VOCs from new furniture, paint and carpets fall mainly with ventilation and time; see air quality after an office fit-out.

FAQ

Offices & Workplaces: common questions

Have another question? Ask our team

Why do meeting rooms feel stuffy?

Usually because CO₂ builds up when more people use a room than its fresh-air supply was designed for. Monitoring shows how quickly it happens.

Can air quality data save energy?

Yes. Connected to the BMS, it lets ventilation run harder only when rooms are occupied and the air needs it.

Does monitoring help with WELL or LEED?

Yes. Continuous PM2.5, CO₂ and TVOC data supports WELL, LEED and RESET Air, and shows problems before performance testing.
