Hey! You Got Your IAQ in My HVAC !
An IAQ Monitor may not be the first tool an HVAC tech thinks of for indoor air comfort, but they offer enough time saving advantages that it's worth considering an investment in a good IAQ meter.
Most anemometers and airflow hoods measure temperature, and a few will even give you the RH%, but they seldom go into the detail that a good IAQ monitor will. The model 2212 will measure dry bulb, wet bulb, dewpoint and relative humidity giving you all the readings you need in just a few seconds.
In addition to humidity and temperature, the 2212 will also measure CO and CO2 levels for you. While CO may be outside the purview of most HVAC work, CO2 is a large factor in occupant comfort. Too much of it and people start to feel lethargic and have trouble focusing. In larger quantities it can even make people feel sick. A large amount of carbon dioxide is a good indication that the ventilation exchange rate is insufficient for the space and the number of occupants. >> Read More

" It's so easy to use!"
Building Science Consultant Lew Harriman uses a wide variety of instruments and tools in his worldwide consulting practice. "I have a constant issue with complex tools. Any of my investigations will require 3 to 10 different instruments, each of which has its own quirkiness and odd behavior. Most manufacturers don't see lots of options and pre-use setup as a problem. They think of lots of options as a feature! But when one needs to use dozens of different instruments only occasionally, options and complex setup rapidly becomes a big impediment to reliable measurements. One of the many things I like about the Kanomax TabMaster flow hood is its super-simple operation" says Lew. "It does not need special configuration. It does not need lengthy training. Turn it on and it just works, period. In my experience of precision instruments, any device that "just works" in such an obvious and simple way is rare, which is why my TabMaster has rapidly become a much-valued tool."
Overall, Lew's become a big fan of the Kanomax brand. As he says: "The TabMaster has been so useful and so reliable that I'll certainly look closely at the other products made by Kanomax. I like simplicity, and I like durability... two features of the TabMaster that I would dearly like to see in the many other types of instruments that I need to use every day."
