X

The environmental conditions analysis system is an intelligent solution based on the DetEp architecture, designed for comprehensive analysis and optimization of comfort and workplace environmental quality in every room. It combines continuous microclimate monitoring with real-time occupancy analysis, enabling informed and efficient space management.

What is the system?

The system operates as an advanced environmental data hub, integrating information from sensors and measurement nodes assigned to specific rooms. In real time, it analyzes parameters such as CO₂ levels, particulate matter (PM), volatile organic compounds (VOC), temperature, humidity, and lighting intensity.

Through continuous analysis, the system:

  • detects unfavorable environmental conditions, including overheating, overcooling, or poor air quality,
  • supports decision-making regarding ventilation and HVAC system settings,
  • generates alerts and reports for facility managers, enabling rapid response and long-term optimization of working conditions.

 

Collected data can be processed locally or in the cloud, allowing flexible adaptation of the system architecture to organizational needs and existing technical infrastructure.

Areas of application

military infrastructure

office buildings
and coworking spaces

schools, universities
and kindergartens

hospitals, clinics

and service points

cultural institutions and public
administration facilities

How does the system work?

Data collection

The system is based on a distributed measurement layer.

Measurement nodes installed in rooms continuously monitor environmental parameters and transmit data to a central server. All information is stored in a central event database, creating a consistent and comprehensive source of knowledge about the facility.

Data analysis and interpretation

Each change in parameters (e.g., increase in CO₂, decrease in humidity) automatically triggers analytical algorithms. The system calculates a synthetic environmental index S(z) for each room.

The index is presented on an intuitive scale:

green – optimal working comfort,
yellow – deteriorating conditions,
red – threshold exceeded, intervention required.

The index value includes both dynamic data (temperature, humidity, CO₂, PM, VOC, light, noise) and fixed room characteristics such as volume, ventilation class, and exposure.

Visualization and reporting

The system provides clear management dashboards tailored to different users:

  • Floor view
    A color-coded map of the facility enables quick identification of rooms with environmental parameter exceedances.
  • Room view
    Information on current sensor readings, trends, alarm history, and exceedance analysis.
  • Common areas view
    Air quality monitoring in lobbies, meeting rooms, and shared spaces
  • User-level view
    Employees receive key information about conditions in their workspace.

Alerts and notifications

The system automatically generates alerts in case of:

  • exceeding CO₂, PM, VOC, temperature, or humidity thresholds,
  • exceeding the aggregated S(z) index,
  • sensor failures or communication loss,
  • changes in alarm threshold configuration.

 

Notifications can be delivered as system messages, sound alerts, SMS, email, or mobile app notifications.

Automatic response

The system can operate not only in an informative mode but also in a control mode, supporting building energy efficiency and reducing operating costs..

In case of threshold exceedance, automatic HVAC adjustments may include:

  • automatic temperature regulation,
  • increased airflow when CO₂ rises,
  • air filtration adjustment,
  • energy consumption optimization.

Periodic reports

Advanced analytics enable long-term optimization of the work environment.

Reports include, among others:

  • number of hours outside acceptable CO₂ and other parameter ranges,
  • identification of problematic rooms (e.g., chronically overheated),
  • before/after comparisons following schedule or HVAC setting changes.

Scope of analyzed parameters

  • temperature, humidity, dew point
  • CO₂ concentration
  • particulate matter (PM)
  • volatile organic compounds (VOC)

Microclimate matters

Indoor microclimate quality is crucial for the health, well-being, and productivity of people using the space.

By implementing the system, organizations actively support sustainable development goals and their own CSR policies.

Benefits of implementation

Improved working comfort – rapid detection of stuffy, overheated, or overcooled spaces
Better air quality – continuous monitoring of CO₂, particulates, and VOCs
Informed HVAC decisions – real data instead of guesswork
Foundation for ESG reporting and building certification (BREEAM, WELL) – clear historical environmental reports
Continuous environmental monitoring in command centers, shelters, and low-ventilation spaces
Maintaining stable environmental parameters that support concentration, decision-making efficiency, and operational readiness

Functionalities for Defense Facilities and Critical Infrastructure

Real-time zone readiness. Working conditions under control.

The system continuously monitors environmental conditions in rooms and presents a clear Readiness Index status: green / yellow / red. Thanks to threshold-based and trend-based alerts, the operator can immediately see where conditions support concentration and operational continuity, and where intervention is needed.

One situational map
instantly see which rooms are “mission-ready” and which are deteriorating

Early warning
threshold and trend alerts (e.g., rapid CO₂ increase)

Two operating modes
Standard and Elevated Readiness

Zone Readiness Index

Zone Readiness Index (green / yellow / red)

The system collects data on temperature, humidity, and CO₂ (also PM/VOC, noise, and light) and converts them into a clear zone readiness indicator. It triggers alerts not only when thresholds are exceeded, but also when parameters begin to deteriorate rapidly.

Outcome: immediate visibility of where conditions support effective work and where performance risks are increasing.

Facility Operating Modes

Facility Operating Modes: Standard / Elevated Readiness

Depending on the situation, the system adjusts thresholds, priorities, and reporting logic.
In Elevated Readiness mode, it operates with stricter limits, generates more frequent alerts, and focuses attention on zones with the highest operational importance.

Outcome: consistent operation in both routine and crisis situations, without information overload.

Protected Zones

Protected Zone (Collective Protection): Overpressure, Filtration, Integrity

The system monitors the stability of overpressure in the protected zone and the proper operation of the filtration and ventilation system.
It detects early signs of integrity loss, such as overpressure drops, system bypasses, or malfunctioning components.

Outcome: a simple answer to the question “Is the protection working?” along with fast alerts about faults or emerging risks.

Energy and Power Continuity

Energy Management and Power Continuity for Critical Zones

The system monitors power supply, generators, and loads (using MCA5Tech together with the environmental analytics system) and supports zone prioritization, ensuring that critical areas maintain operation even when energy resources are limited.

Outcome: faster decisions on load shedding and maintaining critical operational functions
