We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve expanded the XY Sense Platform to incorporate Air Quality insights!
XY Sense now integrates data from leading air quality solution providers, Airthings and Kaiterra—combining air quality metrics with real-time occupancy data to unlock powerful space utilization and building performance insights.
The Critical Importance of Air Quality
Monitoring and optimizing office air has become an essential part of workplace management. Studies show that indoor air quality impacts worker comfort, health, engagement, and productivity.
Did you know?
- Sick Building Syndrome (SBS), which causes symptoms such as respiratory ailments, allergies and asthma, occurs in 57% of offices.
- Poor air quality doesn’t just impact team health, it’s a productivity drain. It’s estimated that businesses lose 5% of worker productivity capacity per year due to poor indoor air quality.
- Using CO2-based demand-controlled ventilation (DCV) systems can reduce the energy output of HVAC systems by up to 70%.
Here at XY Sense, we think it’s time for our office environments to work harder for the companies and people they serve.
“Every day, companies experience the negative impacts of poor air quality on both employee well-being and building performance. This results in decreased productivity and increased energy costs. By combining air quality and real-time occupancy data into a single platform, we will make it easier for companies around the world to take action. Our new Air Quality integration capability is the next step in XY Sense’s mission to transform the world’s offices through 100% anonymous, real-time data.”

Benefits & Use Cases
Air quality sensors provide data on multiple dimensions, including the presence and levels of particulate matter, CO2, VOCs, Humidity, Temperature, and Noise.
Using these new Air Quality integrations, XY Sense clients will be able to access rich insights and reports from across office floors, including:
- Air Quality Index Scores
- Comfort Scores (Temp, Noise, Humidity)
- Air Quality visualizations mapped to floorplans
- Air Quality Analysis by Space Type, Day, Floor, Location
- Drill down into low-scoring spaces for facilities team analysis & action
