BUILDING CONDITIONS

Radon monitoring

Build a clearer picture of radon levels across occupied buildings and support a structured programme of assessment and follow-up.

Housing providers, employers and estate teams may need to understand variation across rooms, sites and seasons. Connected electronic monitoring can make changing readings easier to review and help teams assess patterns before and after remedial work.

01

What we monitor

Suitable radon instruments measure radon concentration, reported in Bq/m³. We agree the measurement objective, locations, instrument suitability, maintenance and interpretation with the project team. Temperature and humidity can provide useful environmental context, but do not measure radon themselves.

02

Illustrative application scenario

For example, an estate team is reviewing several ground-floor workplaces. An agreed measurement programme identifies locations requiring further assessment. Electronic readings then help the team understand variation and observe trends following changes to ventilation or specialist remediation.

Short-term readings fluctuate and must not be presented as a substitute for an appropriate long-term assessment. UKHSA guidance describes a typical three-month domestic measurement period; the correct assessment method and applicable local requirements should be confirmed for the building and jurisdiction.

03

What your team sees in NesosIQ

Review readings and trends by room, building and portfolio, with clearly defined averaging periods and measurement context. Agreed thresholds can flag locations for investigation. Data exports can support discussions with radon specialists and the team responsible for the building.

04

What a pilot should establish

Confirm device performance, placement, data continuity and reporting periods. Define who reviews results, what triggers specialist advice and how follow-up measurements will be recorded. Assess whether the information improves prioritisation and closes gaps in the estate’s monitoring programme.

Nesos IoT selects devices around the deployment and measurement requirements. Group-developed hardware may be considered alongside suitable third-party equipment; this is an integration service rather than a single-product offer. Monitoring alone does not remove radon or certify compliance.

NEXT STEPS

From pilot to portfolio

We follow Discover, Survey, Pilot, Deploy, Integrate and Scale: agree the operational need, validate devices and coverage, commission the solution and connect it to the people who will act. Device choice, reporting intervals and integrations are confirmed for each project. Suitable applications can share the estate network and NesosIQ platform.
