Environmental Case study
Co-developing advanced air-quality monitoring with UCL
Researchers at UCL wanted to understand how building design could deliver better indoor air quality alongside low energy and low carbon. Following a long collaboration, Eltek developed a monitor that captures the full picture, indoors and out.

One integrated air-quality monitor
Developed under the EPSRC-funded TOP Project, the Eltek AQ110 captures temperature, humidity, CO₂, particulates (PM1, PM2.5, PM10), NO₂, CO and TVOCs in a single unit, enabling researchers to relate indoor and external pollutants to thermal comfort and ventilation rates across residential apartments, hospitals, offices and schools.
Long-term campaigns and total performance
Networks of SRV250 data loggers enable remote, long-term monitoring campaigns that capture seasonal trends, for example showing traffic-related NO₂ peaks on both external and internal monitors, aided by on-site Eltek weather stations that help identify pollution sources by wind direction. To support the transition to low-carbon cities, the collaboration later added the AQ112, which introduces an ozone sensor for richer outdoor measurement.
