Air Quality Monitoring Toolkit

C-DAC has developed Indoor Air Quality Monitoring Toolkit- a wireless solution for indoor air quality
monitoring for estimating and visualization of the pollution indices at various locations of a city.
The toolkit measures environmental parameters like temperature, humidity, gaseous pollutants,
aerosol/Particulate Matter to determine the environmental health of an indoor space.

The tool estimates the Air Quality Index (AQI) which in turn can be used as input for controlling HVAC
(Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) system in a smart building. This toolkit allows users to view in
real time, the air quality data of regions where the sensors are deployed in a building in the form of
numbers and graphs.
