We are thrilled to announce the latest installment of the EDIAQI webinar series co-organised with the TwinAir project, “Spend Less, Breathe Better: The Potential of Low-Cost Sensors to Revolutionise Indoor Air Quality Management,” which will take place on 19th December 2024, at 12:30 CET.
Europeans spend about 90% of their time indoors, where pollution levels can often exceed WHO thresholds by two to three times. Despite this, indoor air quality—especially in private residences—is rarely monitored compared to outdoor environments. High costs and privacy concerns have traditionally been barriers, but emerging low-cost sensors could revolutionise indoor air quality management. These compact and affordable technologies, when used with proper safeguards, can provide crucial pollutant data for smarter, privacy-conscious air quality solutions in public spaces.
To explore this potential, the EDIAQI project is hosting a webinar titled “Spend Less, Breathe Better: The Potential of Low-Cost Sensors to Revolutionise Indoor Air Quality Management”. Key questions to be addressed are:
- What low-cost sensors are currently available, and how do they measure up against state-of-the-art devices in terms of accuracy and reliability?
- How can data from low-cost sensors be effectively integrated into smart systems in public spaces like schools to facilitate real-time decision-making for ventilation and pollutant management?
- What role could low-cost sensors play within the broader context of the EU’s Twin Transition and the Zero Pollution Action Plan?
