    What if the air you breathe indoors is affecting your health more than you realise?

    Join us for a discussion with Joakim Lindh, Airthings' Head of Strategic Growth, as we uncover the evolving priorities in indoor air quality monitoring.

    Explore how Airthings is pivoting its strategy in 2024 to create environments centered around people rather than just buildings. From post-COVID interest shifts to the impact of wildfires in the US and specific regional focuses like CO2 monitoring in the Netherlands, the conversation highlights the vital role of industrial hygienists and centralized facility management in maintaining safe indoor air quality.

    The transition from energy efficiency to prioritizing health and productivity outcomes within building management. We address the challenge of transforming technical jargon into relatable health metrics, guided by standards like GoAQS, and the necessity of impactful communication in less automated environments.

    With insights from Airthings' extensive data collection, we reveal striking inefficiencies and the importance of continuous monitoring to optimize building performance. The narrative also touches on the nuanced dynamics of transitioning from a B2C to a B2B focus, exploring the unpredictable growth and competitive landscape in the B2B sector.

    Finally, we spotlight the critical issue of radon exposure, underscoring the need for broader awareness and adoption of modern monitoring technologies. Through captivating case studies, discover how advanced sensors have been pivotal in mitigating this invisible threat. As we look to the future, the integration of industrial hygienists and advancements in wireless technology and AI promise a healthier indoor environment. Listen in for insights on fostering long-term customer relationships and ensuring the integration of sensor data into organizational processes, all while navigating the intricate global market of indoor air quality monitoring.
