Public health and environmental sustainability

Privately installed outdoor air monitoring sensors are great for understanding the air quality outside. AQI levels on public portals are not accurate for you as the data is based on the air directly in the radius of public air monitors. Beside outdoor climate, sources like garbage accumulation, drains, sewage, construction activities or nearby factories affect the air quality around your building. Our outdoor sensors can assess TVOC, PM2.5, PM10, CO2, CO, CH2O, NO2, SO2 and O3 for an area of 80,000 square feet and can be utilized for one time air testing or for real-time monitoring of ambient air quality. The odour monitor, by leveraging IoT technology, minimizes resource consumption and environmental footprint, aligning with sustainable development goals. The adoption of this innovative solution not only addresses immediate challenges in restroom hygiene but also sets a precedent for future advancements in public health infrastructure. ActiveBuildings’ sustainable innovations and scalable models contribute to lasting improvements in environment and sanitation standards, benefiting communities worldwide.
