A modified lamp accomodates a IAQ sensor prototype

A prototype unit for measuring the indoor air quality (IAQ) has been developed by CSP, a R&D research center based in Italy. All sensors are integrated on a customized board and measurement are sent to a server using WiFi connection. A lamp has been suitably modified to accommodate inside the sensors and electronic boards.

The “lamp” measures Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and formaldehyde (CH2O) levels and get a feedback lighting in different colors (green for clean air, yellow for warning level, red for polluted air). Other physical parameters are acquired such as temperature, humidity and illuminance.

Further information are available in the sensor category.
