Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) has a massive impact on the health of the occupants. Poorly ventilated spaces can lead to Sick Building Syndrome (SBS). Dust and indoor air particles can trigger respiratory problems, asthma and other health issues. The amount of time people spend indoors has increased over the years. Particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic with restrictions on outdoors movement and exercise. In addition, improvements in building insulation, and b

Restaurants typically have refrigerator and freezer facilities for storing perishables. Larger restaurants and kitchens in hotels for example, have larger commercial type refrigerators. Whatever the size, monitoring restaurant refrigerators and freezers is important. In this article we will examine some of the reasons why remote monitoring of commercial refrigerators in restaurants is essential.

In the 1970s, the approach to energy efficiency compromised Indoor Air Quality (IAQ). Efforts should concentrate on net-zero energy buildings that do not repeat past mistakes. Forums have discussed sustainable buildings concentrating on energy use. Indoor air quality and its effect on health should factor into building design. IAQ has worked with ventilation standards such as the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (AS

Getting the vaccines to their destination in good condition is paramount for a successful immunization campaign. When exposed to an elevated temperature for too long, they lose their potency. For patients with chronic diseases, taking a compromised dosage can be dangerous. Preventing cold chain failures through remote monitoring systems is vital. 

It can be challenging to know the difference between a compromised product and a safe one. Pharmaceuti

To ensure that a Data Center is functioning properly, it is important that the room temperature is regulated. Excessive heat can put a Data Center at risk of failure. Failures lead to downtime, which leads to lost data and revenue. Based on a Gartner study, it is estimated that the cost of one hour of downtime can amount up to $336,000 per hour or $5,600 per minute. Maintaining the Data Center t

Many businesses operate outside of safe capacity thresholds with little or no room to expand. According to the IDC, the average data center is 9 years old. However, Gartner states that any site more than 7 years old is obsolete. Overcrowded or obsolete data centers create a roadblock for growing organizations and building a new data center(s) is sometimes the only solution. W

What are rack blanking panels, and do they delivery results? Heat movement is vital to data centers. Ideally, heat should be exhausted out of the facility. But heat might travel to places where they expose computing units to high temperatures.

As a solution, many data center facilities use the cold aisle and hot aisle isolation. They also enclose racks in containments so that heat and cold

What is RADIUS Server and how does it relate to AKCP?

RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) is a standardized client-server networking protocol for passing authentication requests to an identity management system. In this article we will explore RADIUS Server Authentication and it’s use with AKCP base units.

Basically, it’s a set of predefined rules that govern the communication between a device (RADIUS Client) and a user databa
