CMR

CIBSE Embodied Carbon Award - Services and Projects: for Consultants

CMR CONTROLS LTD is a market leader in advanced air measurement technology. We specialise in the
manufacture of ultra-low pressure and airflow sensors and control systems. The overall efficiency of a building depends on various factors. One of the most important ones is the accurate measurement of airflow through the ventilation system. The CMR high precision differential pressure sensors and the CMR Flowprobes and Flowgrids are designed to deliver these accuracies in air measurement applications. Our products are used in critical environments, such as pharmaceutical research and production areas, hospitals and universities, data centres, or industrial and commercial buildings. CMR has its own research and development team. Working closely with our customers, we develop specific systems that take the relevant criteria for each building into account.
