How Kaiterra’s Sensedge Go Is Shaping the Future of Healthy Buildings

This new generation of data-driven monitors delivers effortless installation, adaptive AI, and insightful sustainability parameters—all in one wireless device.

By: Francisco Brown

In the pursuit of healthier and more sustainable workspaces, Kaiterra introduced the Sensedge Go last fall—an indoor air quality (IAQ) monitoring system that represents a significant advancement in the company’s more than ten years of operation. The monitors are battery powered and fully wireless, with up to eight years of battery life. These new devices offer peel-and-stick rapid installation that doesn’t require IT support or an electrician.

The monitoring technology has expanded to cover 14 air quality and environmental parameters, including PM1 (particulate matter), PM2.5, PM10, TVOCs, CO2, nitrogen dioxide, temperature, relative humidity, and atmospheric pressure. It also offers the option to add carbon monoxide and ozone—features that are in high demand to meet additional requirements from building certifications such as WELL and Fitwel.

Engineered with a modular sensor design that allows for quick model swaps, the system reduces waste and eliminates data gaps. Kaiterra’s adaptive sampling—powered by artificial intelligence (AI)—adjusts data collection in real time across a network of devices, optimizing energy efficiency and performance in decentralized operations. This allows users to understand the overall or space-specific air quality within office environments.  

Sensedge Go supports major building certifications, including LEED, Fitwel, and RESET. It measures all parameters required for WELL certification, eliminating the need for manual testing and lab analysis. 

More than just a compliance tool, Sensedge Go aims to promote occupant health and well-being—a greater priority in the postpandemic era. Improved IAQ in the workspace has been shown to reduce absenteeism, boost productivity, and enhance talent retention, all while contributing to energy savings and emissions reduction.  

Kaiterra’s approach reflects an integrated, data-driven outlook that meets the rising demand for healthier spaces—powered by the latest innovations in battery technology and AI.
