Air changes and airflow
Air changes per hour (ACH) and how supply air is distributed, room by room.
Assessment
Is your HVAC system delivering enough clean air where people actually are? We measure air changes, airflow paths and filter performance, then recommend practical upgrades.
A ventilation and filtration assessment checks how much fresh air reaches each space, how air moves between rooms and how well filters capture particles. It combines CO₂ and particle monitoring with airflow measurements, an HVAC inspection and, where needed, tracer-based verification.
Scope
Air changes per hour (ACH) and how supply air is distributed, room by room.
PM2.5, PM10, CO₂ and VOCs measured during normal occupancy.
Control of relative humidity and comfort, to limit mould and microbial growth.
The type, fit and efficiency (MERV or HEPA) of existing filters, and what the system can take.
SafeTraces veriDART tracer testing to verify real airflow and clearance.
Ventilation settings, filter upgrades and, where needed, portable purification.
Process
We review the building, its use, the HVAC layout and any history of complaints.
Monitors log CO₂, particles, humidity and temperature while we measure airflow and inspect filters.
Where needed, tracer testing shows where air really goes and how fast contaminants clear.
A report sets out practical fixes in order of impact and cost.

Measure CO₂ while the space is occupied. Dubai Municipality guidelines set 800 ppm as an 8-hour average, or no more than 700 ppm above outdoor levels. Rooms that regularly go higher are under-ventilated for the number of people in them.
The number of times the full volume of air in a room is replaced, or cleaned, in one hour. It is used to compare ventilation and purification across rooms of different sizes.
It depends on what the fan and housings can handle. We check the system, then recommend the highest-efficiency filter (MERV rating) it can run without losing airflow, and add portable HEPA purifiers where higher protection is needed.
A verification service that releases safe, traceable particles into a space and measures where they travel and how quickly they are removed. It shows how well ventilation and filtration actually work in occupied rooms.
Book an indoor air quality assessment with HawaQ. We measure first, then recommend only what your space needs.

HawaQ is the indoor air quality division of PRO TECHnology in Dubai. We measure the air in buildings across the UAE and the GCC, then fix what the data shows.
