Core offering

NanoSense designs and manufactures wired multi-sensor probes for indoor air quality (IAQ) monitoring, with 13+ environmental parameters (CO2, VOCs, PM1/PM2.5/PM10, noise, light, humidity, temperature, atmospheric pressure) and an embedded Smart QAI algorithm. The probes feed Building Management Systems (BMS/GTB) and can directly control variable air volume (VAV) ventilation, enabling demand-controlled ventilation and significant energy savings. The portfolio also includes outdoor air quality probes, a Parking Air Manager (PAM) for underground parking ventilation, and a Jeedom IP gateway for data aggregation.

Product overview

NanoSense offers a unified portfolio of multi-sensor air quality monitoring solutions centered on the EP5000 series probe. The core EP5000 platform provides comprehensive indoor air quality measurement (13 parameters) with intelligent ventilation, heating, and HVAC control via integrated Smart QAI algorithms. Complementary products include the QAA outdoor air quality probe, the Parking Air Manager (PAM) for underground parking ventilation control, and the Jeedom IP Gateway for data aggregation and cloud connectivity. Legacy E4000 and P4000 sensors have been discontinued in favor of the integrated EP5000 solution. All products support multiple building automation protocols (Modbus, LoRaWAN, EnOcean, BACnet IP, MQTT, KNX) for seamless integration with Building Management Systems.

Direct peers

• Kaiterra: Kaiterra (originally Foobot) manufactures professional-grade IAQ monitors measuring PM, CO2, TVOCs, and other parameters with cloud dashboards for commercial building certifications (WELL, RESET). Closely comparable to NanoSense's IAQ probe + data-driven ventilation optimization stack.
• Aeroqual: Aeroqual builds multi-sensor air quality monitors for indoor and outdoor environments, with sensors for CO2, VOCs, PM, ozone, and NO2 plus integration into BMS/HVAC systems. Closely aligned with NanoSense's multi-parameter IAQ probe and ventilation control use case.
• Awair: Awair produces multi-parameter IAQ monitors (CO2, VOCs, PM, temperature, humidity) with dashboards and BMS-style integrations, targeting commercial buildings and offices. Directly comparable sensor/analytics product, though skewing toward smaller commercial and prosumer deployments.
• uHoo: uHoo produces multi-sensor IAQ devices measuring 9+ parameters (CO2, VOCs, PM2.5, temperature, humidity, etc.) with cloud dashboards targeted at smart buildings, schools, and offices. Closely comparable to NanoSense's EP5000 in measurement breadth, though uHoo skews to SaaS/cloud rather than direct Modbus master ventilation control.

Broad incumbents

• Vaisala: Vaisala manufactures industrial-grade environmental measurement instruments, including IAQ probes for CO2, humidity, and particulates used in commercial buildings and cleanrooms. Comparable industrial-measurement focus, but at a much larger scale and broader application footprint.
• Belimo: Belimo is both NanoSense's distribution partner (co-branded EP5000MMx-N) and a broader building-automation incumbent with air quality and actuator/valve products. Direct overlap in the ventilation-control niche where NanoSense sells through Belimo's channel.
• Schneider Electric (EcoStruxure Building): Schneider Electric's EcoStruxure BMS suite includes air quality sensors and ventilation control modules; it was also a partner alongside NanoSense in the F'AIR Play Olympic Village project. Closely comparable technology and customer overlap with NanoSense.
• Siemens Smart Infrastructure: Siemens offers IAQ monitoring and demand-controlled ventilation as part of its Desigo BMS platform for commercial/tertiary buildings. Competes with NanoSense's EP5000 for the same building-automation integration use case, leveraging much larger installed base and global sales coverage.
• Honeywell Building Technologies: Honeywell's building technologies division offers comprehensive IAQ sensing, BMS controllers, and ventilation automation as part of a much larger building management portfolio. Directly comparable to NanoSense's IAQ probes and BMS/GTB integration for commercial buildings, but at vastly greater scale and broader scope.

Emerging players

• Sensirion: Swiss sensor manufacturer producing environmental sensor modules (CO2, VOC, PM, temperature, humidity) sold to OEMs and system integrators for IAQ and HVAC applications. Component-level comparability to NanoSense, with similar multi-parameter architectures but positioned as a sensor supplier rather than complete ventilation-control solution.
