SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Jan 05, 2021 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Awair, the San Francisco-based startup that makes Indoor Air Quality monitoring and software solutions for home and commercial spaces, has received a major strategic investment from Emerson (NYSE: EMR). Emerson is a leader in the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) controls industry, as well as the creator of the highly-rated smart thermostat, Emerson Sensi.
Awair has also added a key Advisor and Board Member: Dustin DeVan. Dustin founded BuildingConnected which raised $52.7M in venture capital from top tier VCs and was acquired for $275 Million by Autodesk in 2018.
When founded, BuildingConnected set out to create a network to connect every business and professional in commercial construction. Their user base has now reached over two million professionals doing over $40 Billion in construction procurement activities every month.
In combining his previous expertise with Awair, Dustin states, “Having worked in the built space environment for the last 15 years, I know that IoT helps improve the quality of our lives. With wildfires, global warming, and COVID-19, it’s never been more important to monitor the air we breathe. I think Awair’s platform is truly differentiated, allowing users to completely monitor their home, work, and life air quality through our network of devices.”
Since its founding in 2013, Awair’s mission has been to increase awareness about the importance of indoor air quality (IAQ) and empower people worldwide to understand and improve IAQ via commercial and residential solutions. The company provides cutting edge technology that is easy to use, as well as an intuitive software platform with actionable data.
