Project Overview
As organisations in Singapore continue to prioritise employee wellness and sustainable building performance, Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) monitoring has become a critical component of modern workplace management.
GMM Technoworld successfully completed the testing and commissioning of six advanced Tongdy EM21 Indoor Air Quality Monitoring Systems at IOI Central Boulevard Towers, one of Singapore’s most prestigious Grade-A office developments located in Marina Bay.
The deployment supports the building’s commitment to creating healthier workspaces while aligning with green building initiatives and smart building management strategies.
Customer Challenge
Modern commercial buildings are designed for energy efficiency through tightly sealed building envelopes and optimised HVAC systems. While this improves sustainability performance, it can also result in:
- Elevated Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) levels
- Accumulation of PM2.5 and PM10 particulate matter
- Increased Volatile Organic Compounds (TVOCs)
- Poor ventilation during low occupancy periods
- Reduced employee comfort and productivity
Following the Chinese New Year holiday period, the building management team sought a reliable IAQ monitoring solution to verify indoor environmental conditions before tenant reoccupation.
The objective was to establish continuous monitoring of key indoor air quality parameters and provide data-driven insights for facility management teams.
Solution: Smart IAQ Monitoring System Deployment
GMM Technoworld supplied and commissioned six Tongdy EM21 commercial-grade Indoor Air Quality Monitors across Levels 44 and 45 of IOI Central Boulevard Towers.
The solution provides continuous real-time monitoring of:
- Carbon Dioxide (CO₂)
- PM2.5 Fine Particulate Matter
- PM10 Particulate Matter
- Total Volatile Organic Compounds (TVOC)
- Temperature
- Relative Humidity
The monitors were strategically installed to capture representative indoor environmental conditions throughout the office spaces.
Real-time sensor data is collected and analysed to help facility managers optimise ventilation performance and maintain healthy indoor environments.
Why Tongdy EM21 Was Selected
The Tongdy EM21 is specifically designed for commercial buildings, smart offices, and green building projects requiring high-accuracy environmental monitoring.
Key features include:
Multi-Parameter IAQ Monitoring
Simultaneous measurement of critical indoor air quality indicators allows facility teams to detect potential air quality issues before they impact occupants.
Commercial-Grade Accuracy
Advanced environmental compensation algorithms minimise sensor drift caused by temperature and humidity fluctuations, ensuring reliable long-term measurements.
Smart Building Integration
The system supports:
- LoRaWAN Connectivity
- Wi-Fi Communication
- Building Management System (BMS) Integration
- Cloud-Based Data Collection
WELL and LEED Readiness
The monitoring solution supports air quality verification requirements commonly associated with:
- WELL Building Standard
- LEED Certification
- Green Mark Buildings
Historical Data Logging
Built-in data logging enables facility managers to review trends, evaluate HVAC performance, and generate reports for sustainability initiatives.
Results and Benefits
Following commissioning, the IAQ monitoring network provided continuous visibility into indoor environmental conditions across the office floors.
Key benefits achieved include:
Healthier Workplace Environment
Continuous monitoring helps maintain acceptable levels of CO₂, particulate matter, and airborne pollutants, supporting employee health and wellbeing.
Improved Occupant Confidence
Real-time IAQ data demonstrates the building’s commitment to workplace wellness and environmental transparency.
Better HVAC Optimisation
Facility teams can make informed ventilation adjustments based on actual air quality conditions rather than assumptions.
Support for ESG and Sustainability Goals
IAQ monitoring contributes to broader Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) initiatives by improving indoor environmental quality and occupant experience.
Enhanced Productivity
Research has shown that better indoor air quality can positively influence cognitive performance, concentration, and workplace productivity.
Why IAQ Monitoring is Important for Singapore Offices
Singapore’s tropical climate, high occupancy densities, and increasing focus on workplace wellness make IAQ monitoring an essential component of modern office management.
Commercial buildings increasingly require real-time monitoring of:
- CO₂ concentration
- PM2.5 and PM10 levels
- TVOCs
- Temperature
- Humidity
By implementing a smart IAQ monitoring system, organisations can create healthier workspaces while supporting sustainability and employee wellbeing objectives.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is an IAQ monitoring system?
An IAQ (Indoor Air Quality) monitoring system is a technology used to measure and analyze the quality of air within a building. It typically monitors pollutants, humidity, temperature, and other factors affecting indoor air quality, helping to ensure a healthy and safe environment for occupants.
Why is IAQ monitoring important in Singapore offices?
IAQ monitoring is important in Singapore offices to ensure employee health and productivity, comply with regulations, reduce absenteeism, enhance comfort, and lower operational costs by identifying ventilation and air quality issues early.
Which air quality parameters should be monitored?
PM2.5 (Particulate Matter)
PM10 (Particulate Matter)
Ozone (O3)
Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2)
Sulfur Dioxide (SO2)
Carbon Monoxide (CO)
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
Temperature
Humidity
Atmospheric Pressure
Can IAQ monitoring help achieve WELL certification?
Yes, IAQ monitoring can help achieve WELL certification by ensuring that indoor air quality meets the standards set in the WELL Building Standard, which focuses on enhancing health and well-being in built environments.
How much does an IAQ monitoring system cost in Singapore?
The cost of an IAQ (Indoor Air Quality) monitoring system in Singapore typically ranges from SGD 300 to SGD 2,300, depending on the features and specifications of the system.
What is the best IAQ monitoring system for commercial buildings?
The best IAQ monitoring system for commercial buildings includes options like Kaiterra, Tongdy, iAeris, and UbiBot. Each system offers comprehensive monitoring capabilities, real-time data, and user-friendly interfaces.
