What Measured Air Performance does

Measured Air Performance (MAP) develops and commercializes active sensing-based ventilation control systems for laboratory facilities. The company's two core products are SmartStack®, a proprietary system that uses calibrated photo-ionization detectors (PID) to monitor lab exhaust air for hundreds of compounds and dynamically index the exit velocity of exhaust fans based on real-time contaminant levels, and SetSafe®, an idle fume hood management system that monitors sash position, electrical activity, motion, and alarms to lower airflow or hibernate hoods when not in active use. A patent-pending sensor protection mechanism reduces fouling and drift under high-contaminant exposure. Both products are engineered to maintain compliance with the ANSI Z9.5 laboratory ventilation standard and are supported by MAP Cloud, a remote performance monitoring platform.

MAP sells primarily to higher education research universities, pharmaceutical research and manufacturing facilities, and hospital laboratories through direct enterprise sales targeting facility managers and energy decision-makers. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; value is validated through case studies showing 30-60% typical reductions in laboratory energy consumption, 24% electricity cost reductions and approximately $400,000 in annual savings at flagship deployments, and ROI as short as 12 months. Distribution is regional (Northeast US) with channel leverage through utility-incentive programs (notably Eversource and Massachusetts Technology Assessment Committee approval).

MAP operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of ICO Energy and Engineering, which provides complementary facility engineering and energy analytics services. The leadership team comprises President Steven Graves and CTO Eric Desrochers, who holds 16+ US patents in ventilation and indoor air quality with prior senior roles at Aircuity Inc. and Phoenix Controls Corporation. The company is privately held with 1-10 employees and is headquartered in Manchester, New Hampshire.

Core offering

Measured Air Performance designs, sells, and installs proprietary active sensing hardware systems—SmartStack® and SetSafe®—that monitor laboratory exhaust air quality and fume hood usage to dynamically control ventilation fans and reduce energy use. The systems are supported by a MAP Cloud remote performance monitoring platform and engineered to maintain ANSI Z9.5 compliance while delivering 30-60% reductions in laboratory energy consumption.

Product overview

Measured Air Performance offers two complementary core products for laboratory ventilation optimization: SmartStack® and SetSafe®. SmartStack® is an active sensing system that monitors lab exhaust air quality using photoionization detection and dynamically adjusts exhaust fan velocities based on contaminant levels. SetSafe® is an idle fume hood management system that reduces airflow when fume hoods are not in active use. Together, these systems work synergistically—SmartStack® optimizes high-plenum exhaust fan energy while SetSafe® optimizes individual fume hood flows—enabling typical laboratory energy consumption reductions of 30-60%.

Broad incumbents

• Siemens Smart Infrastructure: Siemens offers comprehensive building automation and HVAC management platforms with applicability to laboratory facilities. It competes broadly for institutional energy management budgets but lacks MAP's lab-specific active sensing and fume hood specialization.
• Johnson Controls: Johnson Controls is a major provider of HVAC equipment, controls, and building automation with installations across universities, hospitals, and pharma. As a broad incumbent, it competes for energy retrofit and lab facility management programs that overlap with MAP's positioning.
• Honeywell Building Technologies: Honeywell provides broad building automation and HVAC control systems including lab and healthcare applications. As a broad incumbent, it competes for large institutional lab energy retrofit projects where MAP might otherwise bid, though it does not specialize in PID-based active sensing for lab exhaust.

Direct peers

• Setra Systems: Setra Systems produces pressure, air velocity, and air quality sensing products used in laboratory and cleanroom environments. Its sensing hardware competes with MAP's SmartStack® active sensing system on lab exhaust monitoring applications.
• Accutrol: Accutrol manufactures critical environment airflow control products including fume hood controllers and laboratory airflow valves. Its product set directly overlaps with MAP's lab ventilation control offerings in pharmaceutical and academic laboratory facilities.
• Aircuity: Aircuity is a direct competitor in lab airside efficiency, offering demand-controlled ventilation based on multi-parameter air quality sensing. It is the company where MAP's CTO previously served as CTO, making it the closest comparable in product, customer base (higher ed, pharma, healthcare), and regulatory positioning (ANSI Z9.5 compliance).
• Phoenix Controls: Phoenix Controls is a leading manufacturer of laboratory airflow controls and fume hood face velocity controls. It directly overlaps with MAP's SetSafe® idle fume hood management product and serves the same higher ed and pharma customer base; MAP's CTO previously served as Director of Engineering there.

Regional players

• Critical Environments Group: CEG provides cleanroom and laboratory environmental services including airflow control and energy optimization in the Northeast US. It overlaps with MAP's lab ventilation focus and customer base but operates more as a services/integrator than as a sensing technology provider.

Emerging players

• Ebtron: Ebtron specializes in airflow measurement and IAQ sensing for commercial HVAC and laboratory applications. It overlaps with MAP on air measurement instrumentation but is more general-purpose across HVAC rather than specialized in lab exhaust/fume hood optimization.
• TSI Incorporated: TSI manufactures precision airflow and IAQ measurement instruments used in laboratories, cleanrooms, and HVAC applications. Its instrumentation overlaps with MAP's sensing layer for lab exhaust monitoring but is broader in scope across industrial and research settings.
