Time to go…indoors!
Dear PlanetWatchers,
As explained in our White Paper, indoor air quality is extremely important for people’s health. For this reason, we are keen to encourage PlanetWatchers to monitor the air they and their families breathe in their homes.
After in-depth technical analysis and some commercial negotiations we are very happy to announce that an advanced indoor air quality monitor is now approved as a PlanetWatch Type 3 (indoor) device.
We should be able to sell this device to worldwide holders of PlanetWatch Type 3 licenses by the end of September.
Enter Kaiterra’s Sensedge Mini. It is a compact, simple to install, reliable device which connects to WiFi networks and streams data to PlanetWatch for temperature, humidity, particulate matter, Volatile Organic Compounds and CO2.
A Certified Device for a Global Standard
One of the most important feature of Sensedge Mini is that it’s a RESET Grade B certified device. RESET is a set of standards and assessment tools & services to develop actionable, long term strategies towards health and sustainability for the built environment. In particular, RESET have pioneered a global standard to evaluate and benchmark Indoor Air Quality. This means that
by using RESET-certified devices as Type 3 sensors, PlanetWatchers will help us build a highly valuable, unique dataset, allowing the comparison of indoor air quality in different venues across the world.
Such data will be invaluable from a scientific point of view. Some preliminary evidence: have a look at the first published scientific paper on indoor air quality with PlanetWatch as well as academic authors.
Of course, data will always be used in an anonymized way, unless sensor owners allow us to disclose more details.
