3 ZAir is a Zucchetti Facility software solution that deals with the smart collection and management of environmental parameters in all work environments, in schools and in healthcare facilities. The software provides precise analyses of physical parameters for the evaluation of environmental conditions, promptly detecting and reporting any anomalies and thereby protecting the safety of workers. Among the various forms of pollution, indoor and outdoor air pollution is one of the most harmful to human health. It can derive from various causes, such as aerosols, airborne particulates, and radon gas. These problems can be effectively solved by using accurate tools measuring the presence of harmful elements in the air and implementing the necessary measures when the recommended thresholds are exceeded. It is also important to regulate and plan the ideal physical/ environmental conditions at the workplace in order to promote the well-being of workers and avoid feelings of discomfort that may compromise health and safety. Italian Legislative Decree no. 81/2008 (the health and safety at work legislation) classifies the microclimate in the work environment as one of the physical agents subject to risk assessment.

4 ZAir, comfort and well-being in the work environment Comfort and safety are two fundamental conditions for people to perform their work activities at best. The concept of comfort at the workplace relates to the worker's psychophysical well-being based not only on subjective variables (given by the individual's activities and clothing), but also on environmental variables that influence thermo-hygrometric wellness (temperature and air humidity, mean radiant temperature, air speed), acoustic comfort (noise), and lighting comfort (brightness). Unfortunately, variability in such micro-climatic conditions and alterations due to various forms of pollution at the workplace jeopardize the health and safety of workers, causing both temporary discomfort and permanent damage that can lead to illnesses and diseases. The ZAir software collects, analyzes and monitors a wide range of environmental parameters - such as temperature, humidity, air quality (measuring the concentration of hazardous gases), water quality, brightness, electromagnetic fields and radiation - so as to help businesses, institutions and organizations to define appropriate conditions of environmental comfort (in offices, production sites, warehouses, schools, protected areas, etc.) for workers and protect their health and safety. ZAir tracks, visualizes, analyzes and shares information with a view to achieving and maintaining adequate conditions of wellbeing and comfort, promoting the ideal balance between performance, cost and environmental sustainability.

5 zair Features TRACK ZAir measures environmental parameters related to temperature, humidity, brightness, concentration of CO2, airborne particulates and other dangerous substances, and so on. The software can also analyze these environmental parameters against information concerning electricity consumption. VISUALIZE The user can avail of a number of instruments that display the performance of the environmental parameters in real time, reporting anomalies through pre-set alarms. The assets are mapped via a tree diagram. ANALYZE ZAir offers advanced analysis and reporting features, designed to help understand the data collected and identify potentially critical issues requiring immediate action. SAVE and SHARE ZAir analyzes environmental parameters and shares information at every level of the organization, suggesting measures to improve working conditions and activities to upgrade the company's assets.

6 ZAir application modules Inventory and master record: records all registration information connected with the asset managed. This information is important for calculating indicators relating to environmental parameters and for fully exploiting the tool s capacities. Monitoring: the set of features required to manage environmental parameters quickly and practically in each production site, production line, building and any company asset in general. The module includes a series of pre-set reports with the possibility of sending them at scheduled intervals to allocated recipients. Desk: the set of gadgets that make up a group of pre-set (and customizable) dashboards and graphs indicating the main KPIs for an immediate analysis of the environmental parameters of the asset managed.

7 zair Formulas and Benchmarking: the set of features dedicated to data analysis via the application of any formula required. It is possible to create virtual meters for monitoring entities that are calculated rather than measured directly, and display them in a graph according to the main analysis parameters (by time, by building/area/office, by geographical area, etc.). The Benchmarking feature allows users to compare the data of an asset with that of another "similar" one, and make any necessary improvement. Alarms: permits management of technical and diagnostic alarms linked to all the parameters managed. It allows the alarms and the relating operations to be managed by ing warnings and notifications to the monitoring staff. Mobile: an extremely user-friendly native app for smartphones and tablets that allows real time checking of data and information. 07

8 Measurement instruments To aid the collection and measurement data, ZAir can make use of any hardware device capable of transmitting real-time information on the environmental parameters to the central software. ZAir also can be connected to an innovative, latest generation hardware device with an international patent: a unique multi-sensory device capable of automatically monitoring up to 26 different environmental parameters. 08

In this way, the data relating to the environmental parameters is available in real time via the web or via the app, and can be managed and analyzed to produce reports, statistics and information required for decision-making purposes. 09

11 zair ZAir integrations Safety Solution For any organization, protecting the health and safety of workers is an obligation subject to significant sanctions in the event of violation of the provisions of Italian Legislative Decree 81/08. According to the decree, the microclimate in the work environment (including the presence of any hazardous substances) is classified as one of the physical agents subject to risk assessment. Integration between ZAir and Zucchetti Safety Solution enables companies to monitor these physical parameters in the work environment and draw up the DVR (risk assessment document), thus performing a veritable internal audit in response to regulatory obligations. Access Control Zucchetti offers a single platform that controls influx into buildings and protected areas, thus monitoring and protecting workers. Integration between the Zucchetti systems for access control, personnel management and environmental parameter measurement, allows companies to optimally manage the safety of people, resources, assets and environments. 11
