It is no easy task to identify the elements that determine indoor air quality because they are invisible.

Indoor Air Quality Variables

There are four variables that influence the quality of the air we breathe in an enclosed space and, therefore, our well-wellbeing1:

CO<sub>2</sub> and air quality

CO2

Outdoors, CO2 concentration can range from 300-400 ppm (parts per million) and can reach values of up to 550 ppm in urban areas. The recommended concentration for enclosed spaces is 800 ppm. In a 30 m2 room with 10 people, this value is reached in 15 minutes2. A high concentration of CO2 cause concentration problems, decreased cognitive ability, headaches and dizziness.

PM10

PM10 particles include dust, ash, soot, metals, cement and pollen. They are present in the air and range in size from 2.5 to 10 µm. Although they cannot pass through the lung alveoli, they can have harmful effects on the respiratory system by settling on the airway mucosa. Therefore, their concentration should not exceed 50 μm/m3 for 24 hours more than 35 times a year.

PM2.5

Due to their minute size, particles under 2.5 μm can lodge deep in the airways. PM1 particles can penetrate the circulatory system and even the brain. Short-term effects of exposure to high particle levels include throat and airway irritation, coughing and shortness of breath. Potential long-term complications include more serious conditions such as heart and lung diseases, among others.

VOC

The most common sources of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in our homes or at work are cleaning products, air fresheners, perfumes, paints, solvents and tobacco. These compounds can cause a variety of health effects, depending on how long you have been exposed to them. The most common are mucosal irritation, headaches and nausea.

How is the Indoor Air Quality Index calculated?

The Indoor Air Quality Index used by AirQ Sensor is a customizable indicator displayed through a color scale.

How AirQ Sensor improves air quality

How AirQ Sensor improves air quality

When the indoor air quality index falls below the established value, AirQ Sensor can activate different elements to improve air quality.

  • Ionization-based air purification: this technology is activated when PM2.5, PM10, and TVOC levels rise, removing harmful particles from the environment.
  • Ventilation-driven air renewal: the ventilation units are activated when the CO₂ concentration in the air exceeds recommended thresholds.
Ventilation unit control

Ventilation unit control

Managing air conditioning, heating, and ventilation together improves the efficiency of each unit, providing seamless control over all components.

  • Ventilation with free cooling: achieves the set-point temperature by introducing fresh outdoor air when its temperature is closer to the desired indoor level.
  • Cyclic ventilation: automatically activates ventilation at predefined intervals, ensuring continuous air renewal and optimal indoor air quality.
  • Humidity-controlled ventilation: triggers ventilation when humidity levels fall outside the user-defined range.
