EDIAQI IAQ Simulation Tool
The EDIAQI IAQ Simulator is a free, user-friendly tool designed to help you assess the indoor air quality (IAQ) in your home or building. It uses machine learning models trained on real-world data to predict indoor levels of PM2.5 and NO2, two common pollutants that can impact health.
How it Works
- Input Your Information: You provide basic information about your building, such as its location, construction year, floor level, and total area. You also answer questions about potential sources of indoor pollution, like the presence of gas stoves, fireplaces, carpets, and smoking habits.
- Machine Learning Prediction: The tool uses this information, along with data on outdoor pollution sources and other factors, to predict the levels of PM2.5 and NO2 in your indoor environment.
- Get Your Results: The tool provides you with an estimate of your indoor air quality, helping you understand potential risks and take steps to improve your IAQ.
Benefits
- Personalized Predictions: The tool provides tailored predictions based on your specific location and building characteristics.
- Practical Guidance: You can use the tool to see how different factors affect indoor air pollution and make informed decisions about how to improve your IAQ.
- Free and Easy to Use: The tool is accessible online and requires no downloads or special software.
Limitations and Future Developments
The current version of the tool has some limitations, such as relying on average pollution data rather than real-time measurements. However, the tool will be continuously improved as more data becomes available from the EDIAQI project. Future developments may include graphical interpretations of pollution levels and integration with outdoor air quality monitoring data.
