Every vehicle entering an enclosed parking garage or underground parking structure produces exhaust gases, including carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2).
In areas with limited ventilation, these gases can accumulate to levels that pose a health and safety concern to building occupants, particularly during periods of high traffic. Enclosed parking garages and parking structures rely on gas detection systems and ventilation control to prevent gases from exceeding recognized exposure limits set by OSHA, NIOSH, and other regulatory bodies. The International Mechanical Code (IMC) requires all CO and NO2 monitors used for ventilation control in enclosed parking structures to be listed to UL 2075, the industry standard for gas detection equipment used in life-safety applications.
Whether running continuously or on fixed operating schedules, a ventilation system that operates without the assistance of a gas monitor may be effective, but it is far from efficient. This traditional approach often results in excessive energy consumption and increased equipment wear, yielding unnecessary operating costs. Fixed-schedule ventilation also fails to adapt to changing conditions in real time, allowing gas concentrations to rise during unexpected periods of heavy vehicle traffic while simultaneously ventilating unnecessarily during low-occupancy periods.
Without real-time visibility into CO and NO2 concentrations, facility managers are left with two undesirable options:
Neither supports the goals of a safe, efficient, and cost-effective facility.
Partner with parking facilities to create safer, efficient ventilation on-demand systems through intelligent fixed gas monitors and ventilation controllers.
Smarter ventilation performance for reduced energy consumption and consistently clean air.
Demand-based ventilation operates only when needed, reducing unnecessary fan runtime and helping facilities significantly lower electricity costs up to 85% when compared to continuously running systems.
Ventilation fans, motors, and related equipment experience fewer operating hours, helping extend equipment life while reducing maintenance requirements and repair costs.
Continuous monitoring, automated controls, and integration with building systems help facilities maintain compliance with applicable air quality standards with greater confidence.
Explore our integrated gas monitoring, control, and alarm solutions designed to support safe air quality, on-demand ventilation, and efficient facility operation within enclosed parking garages & parking structures.
Every enclosed parking operation has unique ventilation, traffic levels, and local building regulations. Our team is ready to help you design a monitoring solution that is the right fit for your operation.
