EcoQube Named CES 2021 Innovation Awards Honoree
SAN JOSE , Calif ., Jan . 6 , 2021 — Just weeks after its launch announcement , the intelligent and highly accurate radon monitoring solution EcoQube by Ecosense was selected as a CES 2021 Innovation Awards Honoree . A palm-sized radon detector with outsized features , the EcoQube utilizes Ecosense ' s patented ion chamber radon detection technology , which provides a radon measurement sensitivity performance that is 15 times better than the industry standard required for continuous radon monitors .
While other home radon detectors can be slow and not as accurate , Ecosense ' s real-time monitors utilize a patented ion chamber technology resulting in a high detection performance ( 30 counts per hour per pCi / L ). This technology can determine radon levels every 10 minutes as compared to other detectors , which only report radon levels from up to two days of prior exposure . Additionally , this means the first radon level result from the EcoQube is available in 10 minutes after its initial setup with reliable results in just one hour .
“ Since 2019 , we ’ ve worked tirelessly to develop accurate , real-time and affordable radon monitoring solutions that people can rely on to create safe and healthy indoor environments . We are very honored to have our work recognized by having our recently released EcoQube chosen as a CES 2021 Innovation Awards Honoree ,” said Insoo Park , CEO of Ecosense . “ We ’ re committed to being an innovator and globally trusted provider of radon detectors and will continue to seek new ways to bring residents , families , and businesses solutions that improve their health and quality of living .”
The EcoQube makes tracking indoor radon levels easy and intuitive as the device pairs with a user-friendly smartphone app for set-up , configuration , real-time monitoring of radon levels , data on historical trends and alert notifications . Users can also share radon level results with trusted individuals directly through the app . The EcoQube is always monitoring to ensure safe and healthy indoor radon levels and presents a real-time status update as indicated by a simple color-coded LED display located on the front side of the device . In addition to its industry-leading radon detection performance , the compact EcoQube presents a clean and modern look , allowing it to be conveniently and discreetly placed within any interior setting .
Ecosense ' s patented ion chamber technology has been independently validated by studies performed at the University of Michigan ( Dept . of Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Science ) and the Kansas State University Radon Chamber . Both studies found that Ecosense ' s radon
