Airlume
Aiming to improves school air quality through advanced monitoring technology and filtration systems.
Project Overview
Air quality is crucial for overall health, especially for youth in schools. Poor air quality can exacerbate asthma and allergies, leading to increased absenteeism and lower academic performance. Airlume aims to address these issues by providing comprehensive air quality monitoring and improvement solutions.
Target Problems
Asthma Statistics
1.8M+
Emergency Visits
14M
Missed School Days
3,517
Annual Deaths
Impact on Schools
Poor air quality leads to increased absenteeism, lower grades, and graduation rates. Economic losses for schools due to absenteeism can be catastrophic, especially for low-income districts.
Current Solution
Air Quality Monitoring Sensor
Air Purification System
HVAC Monitoring Sensors
Advanced sensors that continuously monitor air quality metrics in real-time. These sensors are strategically placed throughout the building to provide comprehensive coverage and accurate data collection.
Advanced Air Filters
High-efficiency filtration systems that remove particulates and contaminants from the air. Our filters are designed to capture even the smallest particles, ensuring cleaner and healthier air for students and staff.
SteraMist Technology
Innovative disinfection technology that eliminates pathogens and improves air quality. SteraMist provides an additional layer of protection by neutralizing harmful microorganisms that traditional filtration might miss.
Data Processing
Installation
Sensors in hallways, classrooms, and open spaces.
Extraction
Data collected via ethernet, Wi-Fi, or cellular/Bluetooth.
Storage
Data placed into a cloud or data lake.
Display
Organized and categorized data displayed on Airlume's dashboard.
Data Visualization
Airlume's dashboard provides accessible information to users, including:
Index Level Interactive Scale
Categorizes pollutants with color-coded dots indicating health status.
Overall Building Comfort Level Graph
Tracks air quality trends throughout the school year.
Particle Categorization Diagram
Details on particle types and associated health risks.
What's Next
To enhance Airlume's current solution, we're focusing on these key improvements:
Dashboard Integration
Combine and upgrade data from Trident-X into a single interface, providing a more comprehensive and user-friendly experience.
NanoEnvi Sensors
Monitor AQI conditions, measuring key pollutants with greater precision and reliability for more accurate air quality assessment.
Efficient Filtration
Implement EAC for automated filtration, using SteraMist as a backup, creating a more efficient and effective air purification solution.
