Know the Moment Dust Leaves the Work Zone

Dust resulting from cutting, sanding, and demolition usually fails to be contained and passes through doorways, the spaces in the ceiling, and the air returns into areas that are occupied. When people become concerned, exposure has already taken place and the crew might have left. 

The AERIS sensor measures the concentrations of PM1, PM2.5, and PM10 in areas that are occupied near the worksite. Both BREEZE and BREEZE-V also monitor CO2 levels and occupancy, enabling you to distinguish between dust incidents and ventilation problems. One KONA Micro gateway can cover several floors. The data can be accessed through the LOCUS App or via your building management system. This solution is appropriate for hospitals, schools, hotels, and offices that continue to operate during construction.

Maintain healthier air

With the TEKTELIC solution, you get real-time particle readings in the occupied spaces, give alerts if dust escapes, and keep a record you can show the client.

Turning Dust Readings into Actionable Insights in Your BMS

Particulate data can be integrated into existing BMS, BAS or facility-management workflows, allowing teams to use PM1, PM2.5 and PM10 readings alongside other building information.

Depending on the integration architecture, elevated particulate levels can be used to trigger alerts, support ventilation or filtration responses, and initiate maintenance workflows. This allows construction-related dust monitoring to become part of existing facility operations rather than requiring teams to monitor a separate system.

Monitor the Health of the Air in Every Occupied Space Next to the Work Zone

Dust travels the same way in every building. What it costs you depends on the room it lands in. A hospital corridor and a trading shop floor need different proof that containment is working. Wireless sensors move with the program and give each space its own record.

TEKTELIC's Renovation and construction dust monitoring solution for hospitals

Hospitals & Healthcare

Dust near patients with weak immune systems is an infection risk. Readings on the ward side of the barrier give the team a record between ICRA audits, not only during them.

TEKTELIC’s Renovation and Construction Monitoring Solution for Schools and Universities

Schools & Universities

Refurbishment often runs while classes carry on in the next block. Sensors show whether dust from the works reaches the classrooms. Estates teams get an answer for parents that does not rest on a walk-round.

TEKTELIC’s Renovation and Construction Monitoring Solution for Occupied Offices

Occupied Office Fit-Outs

Tenants stay in the building while the floors above them are stripped out. Alerts let facility teams pause work or tighten containment early, before the complaints reach the landlord.

TEKTELIC’s Renovation and Construction Monitoring Solution for Hotels

Hotels & Hospitality

Refurbishment moves floor by floor while guests sleep two doors away. Monitoring the guest corridors shows when a gap in the hoarding is letting dust through, before it appears in a review.

TEKTELIC’s Renovation and Construction Monitoring Solution for Retail and shopping Malls

Retail & Shopping Centers

Stores trade through the works, and dust settling on stock is a direct cost. Monitoring malls and back-of-house areas shows which units are affected and when the contractor needs to change method.

Labs & Data Centers

Fine particles foul instruments and load equipment filters long before anyone notices them. PM1 tracking in the room next to the works gives early warning that a barrier has failed.

benefits that matter

What You Gain with Construction Dust Monitoring

Keep the building open during the works

Catch rising particle levels in occupied rooms early and tighten containment instead of closing a floor. The work carries on and the space stays in use.

Protect the people who never left the building

Staff, patients, students and guests stay in nearby rooms while work goes on. Continuous PM1, PM2.5 and PM10 readings show what they are breathing.

Hold contractors to the containment they agreed

Maintain optimal temperature, humidity, and fresh air levels to help employees, students, patients, and visitors stay comfortable and productive.

Settle dust complaints with evidence

When a tenant, parent or guest raises a concern, the timeline shows what happened and when. Claims get settled from the record rather than from goodwill.

Back compliance reports with continuous data

Infection control teams, safety officers and auditors need proof that air quality stayed within limits during the works.

Fix a containment breach before the crew leaves

Alerts reach site and facility teams as soon as a threshold is crossed. The barrier gets resealed while the crew that opened it is still on the floor.

Lower Your Environmental Impact Without More Maintenance

Dust surveys usually mean hired kit, temporary cabling and gear that needs a service call every year or two. TEKTELIC works a different way on short and phased projects.

7+ year battery life means fewer replacements and less battery waste

Wireless deployment eliminates cabling and construction

Measured dust data targets cleaning and filter changes at the rooms that need them

Sensors move to the next project instead of being installed once and abandoned

Frequently-asked questions

Construction dust monitoring measures PM1, PM2.5 and PM10 in the occupied spaces around a work zone. Sensors send readings to a dashboard. Site and facility teams can see when dust escapes containment, and how levels change through each phase of the work. 

Because that is where the people are. Dust travels through doorways, ceiling voids, lift shafts and return air paths into areas that stay occupied. Monitoring inside the work zone tells you the work is dusty. Monitoring the rooms around it tells you whether the containment is holding. 

Each size fraction points to a different source. PM10 covers the coarse dust from demolition, sweeping and material handling. PM2.5 and PM1 come from cutting, grinding and hot work, and they stay airborne far longer and travel further. Tracking all three shows how much dust escaped and what kind of work produced it. 

There is no single figure that applies everywhere. Regulators set exposure limits for site workers. Guideline values for occupied indoor spaces come from bodies such as the WHO and from schemes like WELL. Most projects set their own trigger level from baseline readings taken before the work starts. 

It shortens the argument. Readings show whether dust control is working, so extra cleaning and stoppages are aimed at real problems. A record of what happened in occupied rooms also cuts the cost of disputes at handover.

A handheld survey gives one reading at one moment, usually once someone is worried. LoRaWAN® sensors measure several rooms at once and run for years on a battery. They keep reporting at night and at weekends, when much of this work is done.

No. LoRaWAN® sensors talk to a LoRaWAN® gateway rather than to Wi-Fi or Ethernet. One gateway covers several floors, which helps on sites where the network is unfinished. Sensors run on batteries and fix to the wall with a bracket, so nothing is drilled into a room that is about to change. 

Yes. TEKTELIC LoRaWAN® solutions integrate with building management systems, cloud platforms and IoT applications via BACnet, Modbus or REST/MQTT. A threshold event can raise a BMS alarm or open a work order in a CMMS. The breach then reaches the person who can fix it.
