Kaiterra Sensedge Air Quality Monitors

Kaiterra is an indoor air quality monitoring company founded in Switzerland, listed by CB Insights as founded in 2014 and based in Crans-Montana. It helps building owners, workplace teams and certification projects measure the air inside offices, hotels and public buildings, and reports deployments in 149 countries and regions, including the Empire State Building and Burj Khalifa.

The Sensedge family covers indoor, outdoor and in-duct monitors: the touchscreen Sensedge, the wired Sensedge Mini with BACnet/IP, the battery-powered wireless Sensedge Go with up to eight years of battery life, plus outdoor and duct variants. Sensors sit in swappable modules, so devices avoid traditional recalibration and can gain new parameters. Data flows into the Kaiterra Data Platform and into building management systems via Modbus/TCP, BACnet/IP, MQTT and an open API. Customers include enterprises such as LinkedIn and Salesforce, government agencies and certification bodies.

• Multi-parameter sensing: Measures PM2.5, PM10, VOCs, CO2, temperature and humidity, with ozone, NO2 and CO modules available.
• Swappable modules: Replaces sensor modules on site instead of shipping devices for calibration.
• Wireless option: Sensedge Go runs on battery for up to eight years with adhesive mounting.
• BMS integration: Connects via Modbus/TCP, BACnet/IP and local or cloud MQTT.
• Data platform: Shows module health, alerts and analytics in the Kaiterra Data Platform with an open API.
• Certification support: RESET Grade B and BTL certified, working with WELL, LEED and Fitwel.

A Grade A office developer in Hanoi pursuing LEED or WELL can use Sensedge Mini units on BACnet to drive demand-controlled ventilation. A hotel group can deploy wireless Sensedge Go units in existing rooms without rewiring. A factory office or school can monitor PM2.5 during seasonal haze and adjust filtration.

Swappable sensor modules remove the need for traditional annual recalibration and the data gaps it causes. The Sensedge Mini can now satisfy WELL Air and Thermal Comfort preconditions through sensor data and help projects earn up to 9 WELL optimization points. Native BACnet, Modbus and MQTT support lets ventilation react to measured air quality. Kaiterra reports supporting more than 220 building certification projects.

Healthy building standards such as WELL, RESET and LEED v5 increasingly require continuous indoor air data rather than one-off tests. In Southeast Asia, where outdoor pollution and air-conditioned buildings are common, office and hotel owners pursuing green certifications are adding sensor networks tied to ventilation control.

Founded in Switzerland; CB Insights lists founding in 2014 and a base in Crans-Montana, with Liam Bates as co-founder. Opened a Riyadh office in June 2026. Kaiterra reports 430M+ data points per day, 220+ certification projects and over 1 billion sq ft of space managed. Case studies include LinkedIn (1,000+ monitors), Salesforce (26 locations) and IWBI headquarters.
