Monitoring Solutions / Indoor Air Quality
CO2, temperature and humidity monitoring for offices, schools and shared spaces, on a dashboard with alerts. Wi-Fi nodes, no gateway needed.
Book a Pilot Run the live demoPilot stageThe BQT-AQ1 (Indoor air quality node) design is signed off but not yet built or proven. It measures CO2, temperature and relative humidity only; TVOC and formaldehyde need a later revision and are not offered. We hold no product certifications.
Ventilation is usually set once and forgotten. Crowded rooms drift, over-cooled zones waste energy, and complaints are the only sensor.
Without a CO2 reading, a crowded room looks the same as an empty one.
Temperature differences between zones waste energy and annoy occupants.
Facilities teams react after complaints rather than to a trend.
There is no history to show a client or tenant how a space actually performed.
CO2, temperature and humidity per room, a freshness view, and alerts. TVOC, HCHO and particulate monitoring are not offered. Default CO2 lines (outdoor + 350 and outdoor + 500 ppm, ISHRAE IEQ Standard 10001:2019, read via its public-review draft) are listed with their source at the foot of this page; each site sets its own.
A simulated office floor in four zones: a meeting fills a room and CO2 climbs, an alert fires, you boost the fresh-air damper and the reading recovers. Demand-controlled ventilation then cuts fan power.
Simulated data from a fictional office. The demo shows CO2, temperature and humidity, and also dust (PM2.5) and chemical smells (TVOC) from simulated sensors. The BQT-AQ1 (Indoor air quality node) measures CO2, temperature and relative humidity only, so the dust and TVOC views are not something our node offers.
Wi-Fi nodes report straight to the cloud; there is no gateway to buy. The hardware hop is designed, not yet proven.
BQT-AQ1 (Indoor air quality node)
Direct, no gateway
Readings stored with timestamps
Thresholds you set
Per-room and per-floor view
Every reading uses one telemetry shape end to end, so a dashboard can move from simulated to live data without changes.
Each item carries its real status. None of our boards has been proven on silicon yet, and we hold no product certifications today.
CO2, temperature and relative humidity per room over Wi-Fi. Design signed off; not yet built or proven. TVOC and HCHO would need a later revision.
Design signed · not builtCan act as a climate node alongside air-quality nodes. Design signed off; not yet built.
Design signed · not builtA contact and people-count node is a planned add-on. It is only an idea at this stage.
Idea · not designedRoom and floor views with alerts, shown in the demo above. A dedicated building kit with reports is in development.
Demonstrated in demoScheduled reports per room and floor are in development.
In developmentAn app for facility teams is planned; not built for this system.
PlannedWe extend your existing meters, controllers and systems rather than replacing them.
Readings can be passed to an existing building-management layer through our API during a pilot. BACnet is not yet supported.
Dashboard alerts first. Email, SMS and WhatsApp delivery is being built and enabled per pilot after verification.
Webhooks and API access for helpdesk or ERP tools during a pilot.
We publish no savings benchmarks we cannot source. Below: what the system changes, and a calculator that multiplies figures you enter.
rooms: occupants' complaints become a number and a trend.
ventilation: boost where CO2 rises, not everywhere.
history to show how a space performed.
Saving = annual cost x assumed reduction. The percentage is your assumption, not a result we have measured. Nothing here is a guarantee or a benchmark.
The CO2 lines our air-quality alerts start from, with their source. They are indoor-environment classes from a building standard, set relative to outdoor air, not exposure limits; each site sets its own.
| Value | Setting | Status | Source | Read on | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 350 ppm | Room CO2 — Class A line, above outdoor | From a secondary source | ISHRAE IEQ Standard 10001:2019 — as printed in ISHRAE's public-review draft of 26 Feb 2019 (the published standard is sold by ISHRAE and was not read), via the Internet Archive copy of ishrae.in §6.3.2, Table 5 'Threshold values for indoor air quality parameters': CO2, ppm — Class A 'Ambient + 350', Class B 'Ambient + 500', Class C 'Ambient + 700'. | 2026-10-27 | Room CO2 at or below outdoor + 350 ppm reads good. Same line as the platform IAQ kit. |
| 500 ppm | Room CO2 — Class B line, above outdoor | From a secondary source | ISHRAE IEQ Standard 10001:2019 — as printed in ISHRAE's public-review draft of 26 Feb 2019 (the published standard is sold by ISHRAE and was not read), via the Internet Archive copy of ishrae.in §6.3.2, Table 5 'Threshold values for indoor air quality parameters': CO2, ppm — Class B 'Ambient + 500'. | 2026-10-27 | Above outdoor + 500 ppm ventilation is short of the occupancy. Same line as the platform IAQ kit. |
| 430 ppm | Outdoor CO2 assumed when no outdoor station reports | Barquecon default — set per site | NOAA Global Monitoring Laboratory — global monthly mean CO2, July 2026: 426.10 ppm (for the background figure only) | 2026-10-27 | Barquecon default, the same as the platform IAQ kit: ISHRAE's CO2 lines are relative to outdoor air, and without a live outdoor station the global background (426 ppm in July 2026, rounded up) is assumed. Urban outdoor air is usually higher, so the assumed lines are, if anything, stricter. Set per site. |
Verified = we read the primary document on the date shown and checked the number. Secondary = the standard is paywalled, so a named secondary source was read. Barquecon default = no standard fixes it; each site sets its own.
Watch a stale room get fixed on a live floor, then tell us about your spaces and we will shape a pilot.
