For teams
You spend more on one engineer's laptop refresh than on the air they think in.
A ventilation upgrade is one of the few facilities decisions with a published return measured in orders of magnitude. It is also one of the only ones nobody can currently defend with data from their own building. That is the gap a Fleet deployment closes.
The case
The arithmetic your CFO will ask for.
MacNaughton et al. (2015) estimated that doubling outdoor air ventilation rates costs under $40 per person per year and returns roughly $6,500 per person per year in productivity. We are not going to pretend that estimate is precise. We are going to point out that it is two orders of magnitude, and that you currently have no measurement at all with which to argue either way.
Figures from MacNaughton et al. (2015) and MacNaughton et al. (2017), cited in full on the science page, alongside the papers that dispute the size of the effect.
The pilot
Ninety days, one floor, one number at the end.
We would rather you started with a measurement than a purchase order. The pilot is designed to produce a result your facilities team can act on even if you never buy a Fleet deployment.
- 01Week 1
Siting survey
We map your floor against occupancy and supply-air layout, and place nodes where the readings will actually be diagnostic — not where the power sockets happen to be. Remote for a single floor, on-site above that.
- 02Weeks 2–3
Baseline fortnight
Ten or more meshed Pro nodes log every zone at one-minute resolution with no intervention at all. You find out what your building actually does at 3pm on a Wednesday in a full meeting room.
- 03Weeks 4–10
Intervention
We work with your facilities team on the specific changes the data supports — supply rates, scheduling, room capacity caps, or in most cases simply a door policy. Then we measure the same zones again.

The report
Before and after, per zone, benchmarked against anonymised comparable buildings, with the ventilation cost of each change costed against the published productivity estimates. Yours to keep whether or not you proceed.
Fleet
What a deployment includes.
For the organisation that wants the building to keep up with the payroll.
- Self-forming mesh of Pro nodes with a rack or wall-mount gateway
- Zone dashboard with per-room alerting and escalation rules
- BACnet/IP and Modbus TCP integration — close the loop with your BMS
- Quarterly Cognitive Environment Report, benchmarked against anonymised peers
- SSO, SCIM provisioning, audit log, DPA and EU data residency
- On-site commissioning, sensor siting survey and calibration service
- Named technical contact with a 4-hour response SLA
Request a pilot
Tell us about the floor.
Headcount, roughly how the space is ventilated, and what prompted you to look. We reply within one business day with either a proposal or an honest reason why a pilot would not tell you anything useful.
