GVSU Facilities Specialists take Air Handling Technology to a New Level.
A U.S. Patent #10,563,886 was issued to Grand Valley State University for a novel air quality sensing system, invented by the facilities team Leo McCormick, Sean McManus and Tom Michalak.  Nicknamed, CO2 Hound, the system senses the amount of CO2 in a room, (correlating with occupancy), and will command the building air flow system to refresh the room air accordingly, keeping air quality, and hence learning potential, high.   Other benefits include reduced system installation costs (remodel or new build), and reduced energy utilization.  Congrats to our inventors!
