How AirSuite Helped Us Transform Comfort, Energy, and Wellbeing

At Jani-King and JK Building Wellness, we often talk to clients about the benefits of monitoring air quality. But we also wanted to put it to the test ourselves: could AirSuite really make a difference in our own head office?

Discovering the Invisible
When we first installed AirSuite monitors across our open office, boardroom, reception, and staff areas, our goal was simple: to see what we were up against. Were our people working in a healthy, comfortable environment—or not?

The data told its story quickly. CO₂ levels spiked around lunchtime, leaving the office feeling sluggish. Temperature readings showed what our team already suspected: the HVAC system wasn’t keeping up. Some spaces were freezing while others overheated, and the control panels didn’t match reality.

From Insight to Action
With AirSuite data in hand, we could act with confidence.

  • We introduced 10-minute ventilation breaks to bring in fresh air, and staff immediately noticed they felt less drowsy in the afternoons.
  • The evidence gave us leverage to work with the building owner. Within months, faulty HVAC units were repaired, a new unit installed, and the system adjusted for efficiency.
  • Our new setup now runs in energy-saving mode overnight and weekends, improving both comfort and sustainability.

Key Lesson

Just because you have HVAC doesn’t mean it’s working—and it doesn’t mean you’re providing optimal thermal comfort. With AirSuite, we turned guesswork into action, delivering a fresher, healthier, and more efficient workplace for our own team.

Energy saving
Comparing May 2024 (before) and May 2025 (after improvements), our daily average usage dropped from 287.45 kWh to 193.29 kWh—a 32.8% reduction, saving ~34,000 kWh annually
Wellbeing boost
Staff are more energised, engaged, and even check the monitors themselves. As one team member put it: “We love our wee monitor, and we make sure it stays with a happy face on it"
Cost saving
Despite higher tariffs, our May bill still dropped by 4.2%
Comfort restored
Temperature is now stable across the office, and staff can focus without distraction
