Seminar 35 -- Sensors and IAQ (LIVE)

This product is a zip file that contains files that consist of PowerPoint slides synchronized with the audio-recording of the speaker, PDF files of the slides, and audio only (mp3 format) as noted.

IAQ consists of a variety of different contaminants – particles, bio aerosols, gases, and vapors - and household air pollution is ranked one of the largest burdens of disease. To determine the materials that are in the air one needs accuracy and would like to sense these with one small sensor. This seminar will look at the some of the current sensing capabilities for indoor IAQ and try to understand what is needed for one sensor to detect multiple contaminants while trying to minimize energy consumption, which are traditionally competing goals.
