AHR Expo 2026 in Las Vegas was a milestone year for Air Monitor, ONICON, and Accutrol. From unveiling our all‑new booth design to hosting multiple packed events with customers and partners, this year’s show delivered some of our strongest engagement yet. The energy, the conversations, and the overwhelming interest in our measurement and critical-environment solutions made it clear: the industry is seeking trusted, proven partners who can deliver accuracy, reliability, and long-term performance.

Three Trusted Brands, One Brand-New Booth

Accutrol joined our booth this year to transform our space into a one-stop destination for flow and energy measurement and control solutions. This year also marked the debut of our completely redesigned booth —built to showcase hands‑on demonstrations, product interaction, and productive conversations.

“By bringing ONICON, Accutrol, and Air Monitor together in one booth, we’re able to show customers how our solutions work collectively to solve real-world challenges. It’s about making it easier for them to see the value of an integrated approach,” said Bill Valentine, Vice President of ONICON and Accutrol.

The booth remained busy throughout the expo, underscoring strong demand for reliable measurement solutions across commercial buildings, healthcare, laboratories, and high‑performance facilities.

Product Interest Driven by Real Industry Challenges

Across Air Monitor, ONICON, and Accutrol, several themes dominated conversations at this year’s show.

Air Monitor: IAQ & Ventilation Performance

Air Monitor’s airflow measurement stations received consistent attention — particularly from engineers and facility managers focused on ventilation code compliance and IAQ monitoring. Key points of interest included:

• Outdoor air measurement strategies
• Ventilation verification
• Upgrading legacy airflow systems
• Stable, long-term accuracy in demanding environments

The growing IAQ movement continued to drive meaningful conversations around system reliability and measurement confidence.

ONICON: Flow & Energy Measurement

ONICON continued to lead discussions around building efficiency and energy accountability. Attendees were especially interested in:

• BTU and flow measurement accuracy
• Seamless BAS integration
• New product features, specifically the System-1000 Flow and Energy Measurement System, now available with Four channel capabilities, and the soon to be released ONICON App

With rising energy costs and an increased emphasis on data‑driven building operations, ONICON’s measurement reliability resonated strongly.

Accutrol: Laboratory & Critical Environment Control

Accutrol’s AccuValve® and room control solutions were standouts, particularly among engineering firms and lab designers. Attendees focused on:

• Energy‑efficient lab ventilation
• Low‑noise, high‑performance airflow control
• Safe, precise, fast‑responding critical environment solutions

The intersection of safety and sustainability remains a major industry priority — and Accutrol was front and center in those discussions.

Outside the Expo Hall

One of the highlights of the week was our hospitality event, which welcomed more than 350 customers, reps, and industry partners. It was a fun evening of networking that was anything but “chill”. 😉 This event has quickly become a must‑attend gathering during AHR, and this year’s turnout set a new benchmark. We’re grateful for everyone who took time out of a packed show schedule to join us.

ONICON & Air Monitor Rep Appreciation Dinner

Another major event at AHR was the ONICON and Air Monitor Rep Appreciation Dinner, which brought together our representatives from around the world.

This dinner is our opportunity to recognize the teams who work tirelessly throughout the year to deliver exceptional support, technical expertise, and customer engagement. Their partnership is a cornerstone of our success – and celebrating together at AHR is a valued tradition.

AHR Insights: What the Industry Told Us

Across all interactions at the show, one thing was clear: visitors found exactly what they were looking for at our booth — accurate measurement data, reliable IAQ and ventilation performance, and confidence in long‑term support from a trusted manufacturer.

Today’s owners and engineers no longer accept guesswork. They expect precise, actionable data and solutions that strengthen efficiency, sustainability, and cost‑saving initiatives. They are also prioritizing indoor air quality and ventilation performance as permanent, non‑negotiable requirements. And they continue to look for partners who stand behind their products with expertise, responsiveness, and long‑term commitment. That’s exactly the role we’re proud to serve, and the interest and feedback we received will continue to shape our priorities for 2026 and beyond.

Thank You for an Incredible Show

To everyone who visited the booth, attended our events, or connected with our team — thank you. Your enthusiasm and feedback inspire our continued innovation and commitment to providing the most reliable flow and energy measurement solutions in the industry.

We’re already looking forward to seeing you at AHR 2027.
