FreshAir Sensor Launches Executive Summary to Help Hospitality Leaders Navigate The Growing Demand for Healthy Rooms and Clean Air
FreshAir Sensor, the leading innovator in indoor air quality (IAQ) molecular monitoring for hotels and multifamily housing, has released an Executive Summary entitled " IAQ Literacy 101: A Guide to Indoor Air Quality in Hospitality," to help hoteliers leverage IAQ to improve guest satisfaction and increase ancillary revenue. Today's travelers expect healthy rooms with clean and fresh air and are willing to pay a premium for wellness amenities and experiences. Hoteliers now have easy access to smart sensors, thermostats, and other technologies providing them with unprecedented 24/7 data from each guest room about air quality, environmental conditions and policy violations - allowing them to turn fresh air and a consistent stay experience into a new, revitalizing revenue stream. The new Executive Summary offers specific recommendations and helpful definitions about how hoteliers can leverage IAQ to drive tangible benefits, including recording consistent improvements to guest satisfaction, creating new operational efficiencies and meeting heightened guest expectations for safe, clean and odor-free room environments. Hoteliers can leverage these insights to benefit from the ongoing movement towards wellness-focused guest environments, as the IAQ industry continues to grow at 8.6 percent annuallyand healthier building and in-room wellness technologies become more widely embraced across the industry. "Traveler wellness trends are only becoming more relevant today, and hotels must adapt to the changing environment to exceed their expectations and welcome new revenue opportunities," said Will Darrah, Chief Commercial Officer at FreshAir Sensor. "Hotel leaders have an opportunity today to improve every guest's stay by enhancing IAQ and packaging associated offerings directly into the booking process. Hoteliers who embrace these trends will be better positioned to serve guests the stay experience they expect and deserve while placing a measurable premium on these guarantees." Meanwhile, hotels willing to embrace IAQ trends have new opportunities to adopt additional revenue-generating strategies. According to a recent survey, 52 percent of hotel guests are willing to pay "premium prices"for hotels that offer better IAQ than their competitors. A further 77 percent of guests said they consider a hotel's air quality when making booking decisions. Other dynamics and opportunities referenced in the Executive Summary include: Guest Reviews: Poor air quality and odors can cause negative guest reviews, with 71 percent of guests saying they would consider leaving a bad review or complaining in the case of bad smells. Wellness Spending: Wellness travelers spend more, with domestic wellness trips yielding 175 percent more revenue than the average. Meanwhile, international wellness tourists typically spend 41 percent more each trip than traditional travelers. Wellness Impact: The quality of a hotel's air has been proven to have a broad effect on guest wellness, impacting areas such as sleep quality, energy, and cognitive performance. Indoor vs. Outdoor Air: Indoor hotel air can be up to 5 times more polluted than outdoor air. Stepping inside doesn't shield your guests from pollution. With the right IAQ-detecting measures in place, a property can instantly identify problem areas and improve the guest experience. "By the time you reach 80, you will have spent 72 years of your life indoors. This means that the people who design, build, and maintain our buildings can have a major impact on our health," said Harvard's Joseph Allen and John Macomber in Healthy Buildings: How Indoor Spaces Drive Performance and Productivity. "While the ‘green' building movement tackled energy, waste, and water, the new healthy building movement focuses on the most important (and expensive) asset of any business: its people."

FreshAir Sensor Partners With Edge Supply to Help Multifamily Property Owners Protect Their Properties from Damage
FreshAir Sensor, the leading innovator in indoor air quality (IAQ) molecular monitoring, announced it is partnering with Edge Supply, a national maintenance supply vendor serving the multifamily housing industry, to bring molecular air quality sensor technology to thousands of multifamily properties across the U.S. FreshAir's patented sensors allow multifamily housing providers to confidently track Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) in each unit and receive proactive alerts when unauthorized smoking occurs or conditions for mold exist. Edge Supply works with multifamily management companies and ownership groups to provide industry-leading maintenance products at competitive prices. As part of the agreement, Edge Supply will have access to FreshAir Sensor's powerful molecular IAQ sensors, designed to provide real-time oversight and historical insight into IAQ data from each residential unit. The devices will be available across the organization's 37 warehouses in 35 states and will help Edge Supply provide its management and ownership partners with access to the most effective and impactful IAQ-monitoring technology on the market. FreshAir Sensor's IAQ-monitoring devices are installed directly in each unit in multifamily housing properties, providing owners with real-time awareness of adverse activities and conditions, such as smoking of tobacco and marijuana and conditions for mold. These sensors are active 24/7, monitoring rooms for target molecules and environmental conditions and proactively alerting management. FreshAir Sensor's patented sensors are sensitive and specific, and are not fooled by common excuses and occurrences such as candles and cooking. Some of the benefits of the partnership include: Turnover Cost : Strictly enforcing no-smoking policies and reducing mold risk helps significantly reduce turnover costs, as smoked-in units can cost between $3,000 to $8,000 or more to turnover for new tenants than a non-smoked in unit. Mold remediation can cost even more - up to $15,000 and beyond in some cases. Environmental Policy Enforcement : Ensuring tenants adhere to environmental policies also helps to ensure safe, serene, and clean experiences across an entire property. Advance Notification : Multifamily operators can be alerted to the warning signs of mold or mildew, allowing them to take appropriate action before the issue spreads throughout a building. Enhanced Property Value : Owners can leverage real-time data to show a property's historical IAQ and how many smoking incidents or other disruptions have occurred. This data can be used to show a property's historical IAQ performance and gives potential buyers a better window into the life of an asset. "Edge Supply and FreshAir Sensor are a natural fit," said Matt Jones, Owner of Edge Supply. "Smoking continues to be a challenge in multifamily housing, and FreshAir offers a way to track and curtail smoking occurrences that is reliable and highly accurate. In addition, FreshAir is constantly monitoring in-unit temperature and humidity, sending alerts when conditions likely to develop mold persist. This helps property managers tackle these issues before they impact tenants. With the high cost of smoke and mold remediation, Edge Supply is proud to offer our customers a way to track and minimize these events." "Clean air is an important part of everyday health, for both tenants and the properties themselves," said Will Darrah, Chief Commercial Officer at FreshAir Sensor. "FreshAir Sensor is excited to partner with Edge Supply to help create healthier living environments while preventing damage and avoid expensive renovations in multifamily housing." For more information about FreshAir Sensor, visit www.freshairsensor.com. About Edge Supply Edge Supply is a national maintenance supply vendor serving the multifamily industry for over 11 years. With 37 warehouses stocked with over 70,000 parts, Edge Supply is well equipped to serve property maintenance needs anywhere in the U.S.A, including plumbing, electrical, HVAC, lighting, door hardware, appliance parts, window blinds, cleaning supplies, and more.
