About uHoo
uHoo is an industry-leading company known for bringing superior indoor environmental quality (IEQ) solutions to make homes, businesses, and the environment better. As part of its IEQ technologies, the company has developed the uHoo Aura, the most comprehensive indoor air quality (IAQ) monitoring and risk management solution that is designed to provide building managers and occupants valuable insights about the condition of a facility’s indoor air by measuring the changes in 13 factors namely temperature, humidity, air pressure, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, particulate matter (PM1, PM2.5, PM4, and PM10), formaldehyde, total volatile organic compounds (TVOCs), light, and sound. uHoo Aura is also customizable to add two more sensors namely nitrogen dioxide and ozone or choose one among sulfur dioxide, oxygen, nitrogen dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, and ammonia, depending on their specific industries and/or requirements.
To manage the location’s vulnerability to viruses and harmful pathogens, such as the coronavirus, the uHoo Aura device also comes with the patented uHoo Virus Index that uses a 10-point scoring system that is divided into four categories: Good, Mild, Bad and Severe.
“Buildings play an important role in comfortability, productivity, and wellbeing. We work in it, play in it, and spend 90% of our time in it, therefore, as much as possible, it should be kept in its optimal state.” says Excell Chua, Global Sales Director at uHoo.
With the MoU, uHoo expresses its commitment to lead the way and bring solutions that empower occupants, workplaces, and commercial real estate managers to devise strategies and innovate to eliminate the unwanted impacts of poor indoor air quality on occupant health and wellbeing while becoming more sustainable especially in this COVID-rattled world.
