Temperature, IAQ & Occupancy Control

The IoT sensors can measure temperature, humidity, CO2, CO, PM10, PM2.5, and VOCs. However, the most common use case is focused on four types of sensors:

Thermal comfort sensors, multi-gas sensors, single gas sensors, and dust sensors. Thermal comfort parameters are taken into consideration since they are closely associated with the comfort level of building occupants. MINT IoT thermal comfort sensors are available in a pre-calibrated form, which makes them easy to use for real-time monitoring applications. CO2 and CO are two important gases that require the most attention from IAQ measurement applications since they are commonly found in rural as well as urban buildings. The common sources of CO2 and CO emissions include unvented gas appliances, stoves, dryers, leaking furnaces/chimneys, wood stoves, fireplaces, and automobile exhausts from attached garages. Particulate Matter found indoors is originated from combustion, cooking, and candles and may include migrated particles from the outdoor environment.

Office

For office buildings, primary parameters are temperature, humidity, CO2, CO, PM, VOCs, and microbial.

School

Measurement in school buildings requires a focus on CO2, CO, O3, HCHO, VOCs, fungi, and bacteria.

Hospital

Most common parameters for hospital measurement include temperature, humidity, CO, CO2,and VOCs.

Home

However, for residential buildings, more focus must be given to temperature, humidity, CO2, radon, and PM levels.
