Fellowes Introduces First Networked Air Quality Management System with Building Management System (BMS) Integration

Fellowes, a fourth-generation workplace solutions corporation specializing in advanced air quality management systems, today announces the launch of its groundbreaking Array networked air purification system featuring building management system (BMS) integration via BACnet/IP. As the first and only localized BACnet-enabled air monitoring and purification system, Array sets a new standard for intelligent indoor air quality (IAQ) management.

“Array redefines indoor air quality management by delivering a solution that is as adaptable and forward-thinking as the spaces it serves,” said Jason Jones, Director of Air Quality Management at Fellowes Brands. “As the first system of its kind with BMS integration – a feature that was highly coveted by the customers with whom we work – Array provides greater visibility and control over indoor air quality and energy costs, with the flexibility to expand and adapt to changing needs. This innovative solution empowers organizations to prioritize occupant health, wellbeing, and comfort while achieving energy efficiency and sustainability goals.”

Array provides continuous, real-time IAQ monitoring and automatic adjustments to ensure consistently clean, comfortable, and safe indoor air while reducing energy costs. Key benefits of Array with BMS integration include:

• BMS Integration: As the only localized air monitoring and purification system that allows direct control from a building’s BMS interface, Array simplifies IAQ management. Facility managers can leverage real-time data from Array’s sensor suite that includes; Particulate Matter, Occupancy, TVOCs, Carbon Dioxide, Temperature, Humidity and Air Pressure. Beyond being able to incorporate IAQ data, facility managers can power Array units on/off, adjust fan speed, activate Quiet Mode, reset filter life and manage unit lighting – all from the BMS – enhancing operational efficiency while ensuring optimal IAQ. All of this enables facility managers to optimize HVAC performance, reduce energy consumption, and improve overall building efficiency.
  
• Effortless & Scalable Integration: Array is simple to install in both new construction and retrofit projects, requiring no ductwork connections. Its range of connected solutions – including air purifiers, monitors and display devices – seamlessly integrate into any space, both aesthetically and functionally, and can easily scale as building needs evolve.
• Healthier Buildings: Array’s high-efficiency, 3-in-1 H13 True HEPA filters capture 99.95% of airborne contaminants down to 0.1 microns – twice as effective as commonly utilized MERV 13 filters. Given that viruses, allergens, germs and pollutants can be as small as 0.01 microns, Array’s advanced level of filtration is critical for occupant health. 
• Energy Savings: By optimizing indoor air quality, Array reduces the need for increased ventilation rates. Not only does this minimize HVAC system wear, it also delivers energy savings across the life of the system.
• Real-Time Monitoring & Rapid Adjustment: Equipped with patented EnviroSmart+ Sense and React Technology, each Array air purifier continuously monitors occupancy density levels and air quality conditions in each zone. The system automatically adjusts performance to maintain optimal IAQ, while the Array Viewpoint dashboard- shows real-time air quality data, trends and notifications.  Plus, Array does not need the HVAC system to be active in order to provide localized filtration.

“At Fellowes, our mission is to ensure a better work life by creating solutions that enhance productivity, inspire creativity and promote workplace wellness – all while delivering real bottom-line benefits to the businesses we proudly serve,” said John Fellowes, President and Chief Executive Officer at Fellowes. “Clean air is fundamental to healthy, dynamic work environments, which is why we are deeply committed to continuously advancing air quality management. With Array, we’re setting a new industry standard, combining intelligent technology with seamless building integration to deliver cleaner air more efficiently and effortlessly than ever before.”

Array supports Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) initiatives and helps facilities with existing HVAC systems achieve LEED, WELL and Fitwel certifications. With ultra-quiet operation, Array offers superior performance without disrupting the environments it enhances.

Array is available via HVAC professionals throughout the United States and Canada. To learn more, visit the Fellowes website.
