Sensibo, the leading Climate Tech company combining smart ACs with a more sustainable world, launched on Earth Day 2023 Airbend, a new software allowing educational facilities to manage air conditioning and air quality monitoring devices in bulk, reducing heating and cooling costs, while ensuring healthy air quality for students and pupils. Sensibo Airbend can lead to savings of over 40% on energy bills by optimized monitoring and management of all ACs and air quality monitors in the school, alongside increasing health, focus, comfort, cognitive ability and more.
Sensibo Airbend is a powerful and smart AC and air quality management solution that allows educational facilities to take control of their energy usage and classroom air quality to reduce their operational costs, increase test scores, attendance and attention span while helping them meet their sustainability goals. Awareness towards the effects of poor air quality and high temperatures affecting students’ ability to learn has come to light in the last few years. Research has shown that indoor air quality is up to 5x worse than outdoors; Yet harmful contaminants like CO2, PM2.5, and TVOC continue to go unmonitored in classrooms affecting health, attendance, and attentiveness.
Airbend allows school managers to remotely manage all of their units and set smart rules and parameters to optimize AC usage and air quality in individual class rooms, keeping students comfortable, while reducing energy consumption. Classroom air quality monitors detect unhealthy classroom air and instruct staff to improve classroom ventilation by activating air purifiers or even by simply opening a window. Leveraging Sensibo AirBend can alert teachers and relevant parties to polluted classrooms. Using artificial intelligence, sensors and data, the system then gives actionable insights and steps to reduce pollutants. In addition, Airbend can automatically turn on the rooms’ AC units to fan mode to circulate and filter the air, instantly improving the rooms’ air quality.
Educational facilities are always looking for ways to keep their students focused, healthy, and comfortable. Recent studies show that Improved air quality in classrooms has demonstrated an increase in test scores by 14%, increase attendance by 11% (classrooms with better air quality yield fewer sick days) and a 20% increase in attention span longevity. In addition, running air conditioners when classrooms are empty or teachers misusing ACs when they’re in the room, lots of energy waste occurs due to AC mismanagement, leading to unnecessarily high energy bills.
Inefficient, “dumb” school AC units draw a sizable amount of energy, emitting Co2. Educational facilities spend 50% of their energy consumption on heating and cooling with dozens, if not hundreds of units under their control, a comprehensive HVAC management solution can make all the difference for energy use optimization. Now, Sensibo offers a unified platform that allows educational facilities to manage all their devices from one centralized dashboard, reducing emissions, reaching ESG goals and saving money in the process.
“For ten years, we have worked hard to promote our vision of Beyond Air Con for the private home, helping more than 200,000 homes save energy and the climate worldwide”, said Ran Roth, CEO and Co-Founder of Sensibo. “,On Earth Day 2023, we are launching Sensibo Airbend for educational facilities which will help the education industry manage the energy consumption of their AC units and classroom air quality with insights, data, sensors and AI along with improving the climate experience and learning for students”.
