February 5, 2010 (FinancialWire) — AirTest Technologies (TSX Venture: AAT) said that it has received a $748,000 blanket order to be fulfilled over the next 16 months for carbon dioxide sensors and controls for a manufacturer of greenhouse related controls and supplies.

In greenhouses the CO(2) level is controlled to optimize certain cycles of growth for a variety of crops.

The purchase order involves two products. The first product is a CO(2) module that will be integrated into an existing control already manufactured and sold by the company. According to AirTest, the first monthly shipment of this module has just occurred and will be ongoing over the next year.

For the second product, Airtest engineers designed a two-component controller that includes a wall mount sensor and a separate plug in controller that can activate a CO(2) generator in the greenhouse when required.

Monthly shipments of this second product will begin in March of this year. Canada-based AirTest Technologies specializes in sensors and offers its products to building owners, contractors and energy service companies targeting the buildings market.

AirTest also provides energy cost reduction solutions to building equipment and controls manufacturers who incorporate AirTest sensor components in their products.
