Rapidly growing cities often face severe air pollution and indoor air quality (IAQ) challenges. Thailand’s major cities are no exception. In high-traffic public spaces such as shopping malls, office buildings, and airports, poor indoor air quality directly impacts the health and comfort of both visitors and staff.
To address this, Makro Thailand—a leading wholesale retail chain—has installed 500 Tongdy TSP-18 multi-parameter air quality monitors across its nationwide stores. This large-scale deployment not only improves shoppers ‘experience and safeguards employees’well-being but also positions Makro as a pioneer in sustainable retail and green building initiatives in Thailand.
Project Overview
Makro, originally a Dutch wholesale membership retailer later acquired by CP Group, operates extensively across Thailand. Known for its large-format stores offering bulk food, beverages, household goods, and personal care products, Makro attracts significant daily foot traffic.
Given the vast store layouts and dense customer flow, ensuring healthy indoor air is critical. Tongdy devices were strategically installed in checkout areas, aisles, storage spaces, dining zones, rest areas, and offices. Through real-time monitoring and smart ventilation control, stores maintain optimal air quality, encouraging longer customer visits and healthier working conditions for staff.
