Measurement & Detection
Humans spend an overwhelming majority of time indoors, but not until very recently has the case for indoor air quality monitoring been recognized as just as important for health as outdoor pollution. This presentation demonstrates the necessity for monitoring IAQ levels in homes, offices, schools and other buildings that humans inhabit frequently. It details the ecosystem of sensors required for an intelligent IAQ monitoring system. It describes the differing sensor types and technologies required to meet the users expectations for a system that can undertake preventative action when quality levels diminish. It describes the roles of various sensor types, for example MOX gas sensors for VOCs, PM2.5 for airborne particulates, NDIR for CO2, CO and Temperature + Humidity. It shows the interaction and algorithms required to control such a system and demonstrates the need for integration and collaboration of these sensor types and technologies.
