Indoor Air Monitoring and Control System

In the present scenario of the world, air pollution is one of the leading challenges. Air pollution is a growing health risk and should be considered as a serious problem and action to improve air quality should be taken. Both outdoor and indoor air pollution has an impact on the health of a person. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the average person spends almost 93% of their life indoors. Hence, indoor air pollution control methods are very essential and should be considered seriously. This paper proposes an open platform for monitoring and controlling air quality for healthy living. Modern buildings are equipped with advanced sensing and control technologies, offering control and optimization capabilities over a large range of parameters. A variety of sensors and actuators are incorporated into a room and interconnected together to deliver monitoring, management and optimization functionalities on illumination, temperature, air quality, etc.
