Golioth's IoT Indoor Air Quality Monitoring solution addresses the growing concern of poor indoor air quality with the return to office mandates. Poor indoor air quality is linked to various health issues and inefficient energy use in buildings. With buildings accounting for 40% of global energy consumption and people spending approximately 90% of their time indoors, monitoring and managing air quality is crucial. Poor ventilation and high levels of airborne particulate matter (PM) and CO₂ can adversely impact health and increase the risk of virus transmission.
The air quality monitoring solution from Golioth is equipped with sensors that measure PM, CO₂, temperature, humidity, and pressure. Using cellular connectivity, the device transmits real-time data to the Golioth cloud, enabling comprehensive monitoring and management of indoor air quality. This data-driven approach allows businesses to optimize HVAC systems based on actual demand, reducing energy consumption and improving air quality.
The solution is designed to create healthier, more comfortable workspaces by providing insights that help reduce exposure to harmful pollutants. With the increasing awareness of the impact of air quality on health and the heightened demand for intelligent building management solutions post-COVID-19, Golioth's IAQ monitoring system is a timely and essential tool for modern buildings.
This reference design is fully compatible with the Golioth platform and all its features.
