Case Studies
U.S. Case Study 1 – Financial Sector Data Center (New York)
Envirotestingfordatacenters implemented a PM2.5 and VOC monitoring system in a high-density financial data center. After deploying GAO RFID LoRaWAN sensors and integrating the readings into their BMS, the client observed a 40% reduction in air quality-related alarms, improving uptime and reducing HVAC strain.
U.S. Case Study 2 – Telecom Facility (Dallas, TX)
For a regional telecom switching site, we deployed real-time CO₂ and sulfur compound sensors linked to a Modbus-controlled HVAC loop. The system enabled proactive airflow adjustments, improving equipment lifespan and energy savings by 18% over a 12-month period.
Canadian Case Study – Government IT Hub (Ottawa, ON)
Working with federal IT infrastructure managers, we rolled out BLE-based air contaminant sensors across a multi-floor secure data facility. By integrating the GAO Tek dashboard and enabling real-time alerts, they successfully met CSA Z317.2 compliance and improved environmental reporting accuracy.
