Understanding Indoor Air Quality
Indoor air quality (IAQ) refers to the condition of the air inside buildings, especially as it relates to the health and comfort of occupants. Poor IAQ can lead to respiratory issues, fatigue, headaches, and long-term health effects — particularly for vulnerable populations like children, the elderly, and those with preexisting conditions. Here’s a quick outline…

Air Quality Metrics
Typically, indoor air quality measurements include at least fine particulate matter (PM) and volatile organic compounds (VOC). More recent research suggests that carbon dioxide, CO2, is also an important marker of the air quality. Our first prototype (April 2024) measured and streamed to the cloud: PM concentration, VOC, temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure. Here are…
