Creating healthier, higher-performing workplaces across commercial real estate

Airscan optimizes office environments to support health, cognitive performance, and long-term asset value – at portfolio and building scale.

Offices & Commercial Real Estate

Office and commercial real estate environments operate under increasing complexity: hybrid occupancy patterns introduce variability into ventilation, thermal load, and space utilization. Open-plan layouts place acoustic and sensory demands on occupants that directly affect cognitive function and wellbeing. At the same time, climate volatility, urban pollution, and heightened health expectations place greater pressure on buildings. to perform consistently under changing external conditions.

For asset owners and operators, environmental quality intersects with workforce productivity, tenant expectations, investment decisions, and long-term risk exposure – making it a material dimension of how commercial real estate is evaluated and managed.

Airscan helps owners and operators advance the environmental conditions increasingly expected of modern office assets – combining monitoring, ventilation strategy, and health-based certification into environments that meet occupant, tenant and investor demands.

Environmental quality solutions tailored for offices & commercial real estate

Airscan applies environmental quality expertise to offices and commercial reali estate by advancing how indoor and outdoor conditions are assessed, verified, and improved across active workplaces and portfolios.

Environmental quality must therefore respond to shifting demand across zones and timeframes – such as those created by the constant variability of hybrid work patterns – without relying on static assumptions about space use.

Airscan applies continuous indoor air quality monitoring to establish live performance signals that reflect how workplaces function day to day. This enables ventilation strategies that respond to real-time occupancy conditions, aligning air delivery, comfort, and exposure management across fluctuating usage patterns.

Hybrid occupancy variability

Capture fluctuations from hybrid work patterns and irregular swings in occupancy density to enable smart environmental solutions and align sytems with dynamic occupancy rather than fixed schedules.

Identify long-term pollutant exposure

Track concentrated exposure to fine particulates - which are associated with respiratory disease, cardiovascular risk, and long-term health impact - over extended periods.

Pollution spikes and episodic events

Indoor air conditions can shift rapidly due external pollution ingress, cleaning activities, material off-gassing, or operational changes. Continuous monitoring captures these spikes that would otherwise go undetected with short-term testing.

Occupant transparency and trust

Making air quality conditions visible supports confidence among occupants and tenants. Access to clear, current information strengthens perceptions of safety and care within shared office environments.

Integrated facilities management

Integrated monitoring consolidates air quality signals into coherent streams that shift facilities management from reactive responses toward planned, data-informed interventions supported by AI and digital modelling approaches.

Health & wellness objectives in commercial real estate increasingly depend on demonstrable environmental outcomes, not static documentation. At scale, this requires verification methods that can operate across occupied buildings and evolving operational conditions. 

Airscan delivers performance-based verification aligned with health-focused certification frameworks, using measured environmental data to substantiate how buildings and workplaces support occupant health in active use.

Strengthen asset value

Certification is a strong market signal that translates into financial outcomes. Airscan helps commercial real estate assets secure credible certification pathways that support stronger valuation narratives and premium positioning.

Portfolio-level certification strategy

For owners managing multiple assets, certification decisions must scale coherently across portfolios. Airscan supports portfolio-wide approaches that balance consistency, cost control, and asset-specific conditions, enabling certification to function as a strategic portfolio lever rather than a series of isolated projects.

Continuous health credentials

Airscan provides performance-based data streams that support ongoing disclosure, enabling organizations to meet the evidence requirements of ESG, GRESB, and health-focused investment frameworks.

Streamline reporting and audits

Frameworks like LEED and WELL raise the bar on documentation, measurement, and audit readiness. We guide teams through the evidence chain - what must be measured, recorded, and defensible - so reporting becomes structured rather than reactive.

Independent verification of health claims

We provide independent testing and verification to substantiate health-related performance, enabling credible communication with tenants, investors, and certification bodies.

Certain indoor air quality risks in office environments – such as highly-regulated chemical compounds, dangerous mold propagation, or localized ventilation anomalies – require precise, point-in-time assessment to establish conditions with sufficient resolution for decision-making and formal evaluation.

Airscan’s specialized,indoor air quality testing establishes baselines, diagnoses specific issues, and conducts high-precision “point-in-time” assessments required for occupant safety and formal compliance. 

Baseline air quality verification

Point-in-time testing creates clear reference conditions for offices and commercial assets at handover or early occupancy stages. These baselines support future investigations, reduce ambiguity in liability discussions, and provide a documented reference for ongoing environmental quality management.

Targeted complaint investigation

High-precision, short-term testing to isolate environmental contributors associated with symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, fatigue, and muscle pain.

Regulatory compliance assessment

Ensuring commercial assets meet minimum health standards, such as those defined by CIBSE or ASHRAE, or more market specific standards like ICOP in Malaysia.

Environmental quality improves when systems automatically respond to measured conditions. In office environments with variable occupancy and exposure profiles, ventilation effectiveness depends on its ability to align with real-time environmental demand.

Airscan’s smart ventilation solutions connect high resolution environmental sensing with ventilation response, enabling active adjustment of air delivery in support of health, comfort, and productivity objectives.

Ventilation coverage control logic

Correct uneven air exchange by identifying and applying control logic in zones where airflow delivery is insufficient despite acceptable aggregate building readings.

Automated ventilation & thermal response

Coordinate ventilation and thermal responses automatically to prevent conditions associated with reduced cognitive performance, memory retention and focus.

Demand-controlled alignment

Demand-controlled ventilation dynamically aligns airflow with real-time occupancy patterns, supporting effective ventilation delivery during partial use, transient presence, and uneven space utilization.

Over-ventilation correction

Unlock significant energy savings without compromising health or cognitive performance outcomes by reducing ventilation intensity where demand doesn't justify the full airflow.

Urban pollution & climate-driven air quality events introduce external risk factors that directly influence indoor exposure in office environments – potentially affecting occupant health, operations, and long-term asset resilience. 

Airscan’s outdoor air quality monitoring solutions establishes contextual performance data that informs how office buildings manage filtration, ventilation intake and exposure risk under changing environmental conditions.

Pollution ingress management

Identify outdoor pollution spikes from traffic and street-level activity, allowing teams or advanced systems to manage air intake and filtration before dust and exhaust affect guest-facing spaces.

Validate building envelope

By mapping outdoor and indoor conditions over time, gain visibility into how effectively built facades, seals, and openings limit outdoor pollutant ingress under real operating conditions.

Inform dynamic filtration strategies

Support timely shifts to controlled intake and enhanced filtration during high risk periods such as haze, wildfire smoke, or episodic events.
