MONITORING INDOOR AIR QUALITY FOR BETTER HEALTH BUILDINGS

  • M S Sowmya

Abstract

Since most people spend 90% of their time indoors, the indoor environment has a determining influence on human health. In many instances, the air quality parameters are very different from those defined as healthy values. Using real-time monitoring, occupants or the building manager can decide and control behaviors and interventions to improve indoor air quality. The historical database is also useful in promoting medical diagnosis by helping physicians. In particular, continuous technical developments in networking, sensors and embedded devices have made it possible to track and provide assistance to individuals in their homes. Smart objects that have great sensing and connecting capabilities could revolutionize the way we track our environment.
