In-Vision EnviroMetrics

PenBay In-Vision EnviroMetrics is the collection of information about the health and safety of interior spaces. Temperature, relative humidity, carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), and volatile organic compounds (VOC's) are all environmental sampling types available alone or in any combination. The PenBay In-Vision survey methodology provides not only representative and extrapolated data, but true, whole space data sampling for accurate representation of this critical area of measurement.

The In-Vision EnviroMetrics solution collects and delivers holistic environmental site information faster, with far greater sampling density and more precise spatial accuracy than has ever been possible before. Utilizing revolutionary spatially aware robotics technology, we capture multiple datasets in one sweep, effectively eliminating the need for costly individual specialized surveys of your facilities. Our expertise in developing and implementing sophisticated information visualization tools, enterprise GIS solutions such as ESRI ArcGIS and CAFM solutions such as Archibus, provides the framework for delivering geospatially referenced environmental data about your facilities.

For Environmental Compliance

Using advanced environmental sensors, the robotic platform collects information about the health and safety of interior spaces as it drives through a building. This process yields the largest possible sampling coverage, while giving each reading a precise spatial location as well. More samples with better spatial accuracy, all in a fraction of the time and at a price that is very competitive with the cost of traditional surveys.

For Health and Safety

Monitoring the health and safety of your indoor environment is an essential component of proactive facility management. Identifying potential problems before they arise is something the In-Vision EnviroMetric survey can provide. Whether it is harmful gases, dangerous particulates, or the first stages of a mold outbreak, a quick, efficient and cost-effective survey can help you avoid costly long term environmental issues.

For Building Efficiency

Using state of the art sensor arrays, we can give you a baseline look at the efficiency of your buildings' environmental operations. Heating and cooling system optimization can mean big savings for your operating costs, and our survey can identify areas where infrastructure might be improved to this end. Additionally, establishing indoor environmental quality (IEQ) baseline data and ongoing environmental monitoring can be an important component of LEED for Existing Buildings (LEED-EB) certification. A 2006 Green Building Council study found that by undertaking a LEED-EB retrofit, owners can save 90 cents per square foot annually in operating costs. Additionally, LEED-certified buildings routinely rent and sell for substantial premiums over similar non-LEED buildings.

Survey Methodology

Traditional environmental survey methodology provides only representative sampling with relatively few data points for a given space. The EnviroMetrics survey methodology provides not just representative and extrapolated data, but true, whole space data sampling for accurate representation of this critical area of measurement. Additionally, precise geo-location of sample points results in a much more accurate picture of contamination distribution.

For Public Safety

Public health and environmental compliance officers, deploying an In-Vision EnviroMetrics survey can be an accurate, rapid, and cost effective means of measuring OSHA compliance or establishing baseline environmental measurements. For real property portfolio managers concerned about maximizing asset value an EnviroMetric survey can be an important component of establishing value for purchasers, buyers and tenants without breaking the bank and taking inordinate amounts of time to produce. Clients from many industries see an immediate return on investment, through better decision making based on better information.

Value Proposition

Survey crews utilizing traditional hand-held technology require days, if not weeks, on site to capture a very small data sample while simultaneously introducing a whole host of operational interruptions. We easily cover more than 150,000 square feet in a day with a crew of two individuals. Additionally, the In-Vision EnviroMetric survey from PenBay provides a sampling density and spatial accuracy that simply is not possible with traditional, hand-held methodologies. Think hundreds or thousands of data samples taken throughout a space, all precisely geo-located to a point on a high resolution map of your interior space, instead of a single data point taken from "somewhere in the room." The In-Vision EnviroMetrics methodology simultaneously captures many more data types, with far greater sampling density in substantially less time. With PenBay you get more information about your built environment, in less time and for a very competitive cost.
