New Heatmaps for a more accurate air quality analysis

At inBiot, we continue to innovate to make indoor air monitoring easier. That’s why we have added a new heatmap feature to My inBiot, designed to quickly and effectively visualize variations in pollutant concentrations within a space.

Now, each MICA device includes this tool in its individual view, allowing you to instantly identify patterns and detect critical areas at a glance for each parameter. With this new feature, interpreting data is easier, making decision-making and air quality optimization more efficient.

What is the heatmap, and how does it work?

The weekly heatmap is an analytical tool that helps quickly and visually detect pollutant concentration patterns over time. The heatmap is displayed as a matrix, where each cell represents the hourly average concentration at a specific moment. These averages are calculated based on data from the selected time range up to the moment the heatmap is generated.

Pattern detection and air quality optimization

This visualization allows users to identify both high and low pollutant concentration periods, highlighting those with elevated levels for easy detection. It helps pinpoint potential causes of indoor air quality (IAQ) issues, such as inadequate ventilation or the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). This information is essential for making informed decisions to efficiently optimize indoor air quality.

Application example: CO₂ levels in offices

The heatmap provides a clear representation of the periods with the highest CO₂ concentration in an office space. Since the primary source of CO₂ emissions is human respiration, this visualization serves as a reliable indicator of the space's occupancy patterns.

Additionally, by identifying the days and times with the highest CO₂ concentrations and considering their relationship with occupancy and ventilation, this tool offers an approximate reference for exposure to other pollutants.

This information is key to:

• Optimizing ventilation strategies.
• Detecting and addressing air quality issues to reduce high pollutant levels.
• Implementing preventive measures at critical times.

With this new feature, it is now possible to take action before pollutant concentrations exceed established limits, ensuring a healthier and more comfortable indoor environment.
