What is an IAQ Monitor and What Does It Detect?

Comprehensive Indoor Air Quality Monitoring for Homes, Offices, and Light Industrial Projects

Maintaining healthy indoor air quality (IAQ) is essential for ensuring the well-being and comfort of occupants in any building. Whether it's a home, office, or light industrial facility, poor air quality can lead to numerous health issues and decreased productivity. This blog explores the significance of IAQ, how it is monitored, and the advanced solutions offered by AGS Controls.

What is Indoor Air Quality and Why Does It Matter?

Indoor Air Quality refers to the condition of the air inside buildings as it relates to the health and comfort of the occupants. Factors such as pollutants, humidity levels, and ventilation rates play a crucial role in determining IAQ. Good indoor air quality is vital because it helps reduce the risk of respiratory illnesses, allergies, and other health problems while also enhancing overall productivity and comfort.

How is Indoor Air Quality Typically Monitored?

Indoor air quality is typically monitored using various sensors that measure pollutants and environmental parameters. These sensors detect harmful substances like carbon dioxide (CO2), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), particulate matter (PM), and monitor temperature and humidity levels. IAQ monitors provide real-time data, enabling building managers to maintain healthy indoor environments by making informed decisions about ventilation and air purification.
