Abstract:
Using an air purifying system can remove indoor air pollutants, but because it increases electric power utilization, results in broader increases in air pollution. To explore the tradeoff between energy consumption and healthful air, we demonstrate the indoor air sensing and automation (IASA) system, an internet-of-things system. The IASA system uses an air quality sensor, gateway device, and smart thermostat to control the fan in a home's heating and cooling system. When fine particulate matter is high, the system operates the fan to pull air through a furnace filter and remove the pollution from the indoor air. We describe our system design, deployment, and collected data. To date, we have collected 861,000 air quality measurements with IASA.
