Project Overview
In early 2025, the University of London completed a major upgrade to its environmental management system by deploying over 140 Tongdy MSD multi-parameter air quality monitors. This initiative aims to balance indoor air quality (IAQ) with energy efficiency across a complex campus environment characterized by high-density crowds and varying usage patterns. This project serves as a global benchmark for “Smart & Green Campus” development.
Technical Solution
The university selected the Tongdy MSD series for its precision and versatility. The monitors track several critical parameters to ensure a healthy environment:
Key Parameters: PM2.5/PM10 (fine particles), $CO_2$ (ventilation efficiency), TVOC (organic pollutants), Formaldehyde (harmful gases), and Temperature/Humidity (occupant comfort).
Certifications: The devices meet international standards including CE, RESET, RoHS, FCC, REACH, and ICES.
Key Features: * Patented Technology: Minimizes the impact of temperature and humidity on sensor accuracy.
Modular Design: Allows for easy functional upgrades and maintenance.
High Connectivity: Supports multiple protocols (RS485, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, 4G, LoraWAN) to integrate seamlessly with various campus network infrastructures.
Deployment & Management
The 140+ monitors are strategically placed using a grid-based layout to cover:
Academic Areas: Classrooms, labs, and libraries.
Living Areas: Dormitories, canteens, and sports facilities.
Outdoor & Boundary Zones: Playgrounds, parking lots, and nearby construction sites.
Data is centralized via a management platform (BMS/IoT), allowing administrators and students to monitor real-time data and receive alerts via computers or mobile devices.
Core Benefits
Health & Safety: Real-time alerts for pollutants allow for immediate action, such as adjusting HVAC systems or pausing outdoor activities during poor air quality events.
Energy Efficiency: By using data-driven insights, the university can optimize air conditioning and ventilation, significantly reducing energy waste.
Strategic Planning: The data helps analyze the environmental impact of campus traffic and greenery, supporting applications for international green building certifications.
Results and Impact
Since implementation, the University of London has reported a measurable increase in student and staff satisfaction. Key outcomes include a reduction in $CO_2$ spikes in teaching areas and a decrease in clinic visits related to respiratory issues.
This project highlights the University of London’s commitment to social responsibility and innovation, proving that smart technology is essential for the future of higher education environments.
