RESET® Accredited Monitors
RESET Monitors are monitoring devices that have been tested and accredited by RESET. The monitoring devices are expected to continuously monitor, report, and transfer data to RESET Accredited Data Providers for RESET Projects pursuing accreditation.
RESET does not manufacture its own monitoring hardware.
1. Why become a RESET Accredited Monitor?
RESET Accredited Monitors is an accreditation given to monitoring hardware that have been tested to perform at the required accuracy and consistency set by the RESET Standard and is used to create trust and verify that the hardware is reflective of the specifications listed.
RESET Monitor accreditation can help your product stand out by being verified of its data quality by a third party.
A RESET Accredited Monitor states the following:
- Third-party tested.
- Can perform within RESET Standard requirements.
- Can be used for RESET Projects.
- Consistent across units.
Recognition in leading building standards
LEED v5
RESET Air Grade B Accredited Monitors are explicitly recognized in LEED v5 as an accepted pathway for continuous indoor air quality monitoring.
For LEED v5 Building Design and Construction: New Construction and Interior Design and Construction, accredited monitors can help meet the monitor-performance requirements of EQ Credit 5 — Air Quality Testing and Monitoring. They are also recognized in LEED v5 Operations and Maintenance under EQ Credit 1 — Indoor Air Quality Performance.
Using a RESET Air Grade B Accredited Monitor does not by itself earn LEED points. Project teams must also meet the applicable requirements for monitored parameters, device placement, data reporting, and documentation.
WELL
The WELL Performance Verification Guidebook recognizes RESET-accredited Grade B or above continuous monitors as an alternative to its sensor technical specification requirements for features and parts that permit continuous monitoring.
RESET Accredited Monitors used on WELL projects must still meet WELL requirements for calibration, measurement intervals, and reporting frequencies. Accreditation alone does not demonstrate compliance with a WELL feature.
Living Building Challenge 4.1
The Living Building Challenge 4.1 Program Manual identifies RESET Air as an International Living Future Institute-approved continuous indoor air quality monitoring standard. This pathway allows project teams to use continuous monitoring in place of the comprehensive indoor air quality test normally conducted one to six months after occupancy.
To use this pathway, the project must be RESET certified by the end of its 12-month Living Building Challenge performance period and must pass any required spot tests for pollutants not measured by its continuous monitors. Using a RESET Accredited Monitor alone does not satisfy these project-level requirements.

It does not guarantee that every monitor manufactured is calibrated properly. For more information about the testing process, please click here.
2. Requirements & Expectations
Here are the basic requirements expected of every RESET Accredited Monitor:
- The monitor can continuously monitor.
- The monitor can be connected to the cloud and is IoT enabled.
- The physical device is the same device as described in the specification sheet.
- There is a way to visualize the data collected from the monitor across time.
RESET currently offers monitor accreditation for the RESET Air Standard only. Accreditation encompasses two types of air quality monitors:
- Indoor monitors for Commercial Interiors projects
- In-duct monitors for Core & Shell projects
