As an Abound API user, you can access detailed information about Abound alerts. The WELL Building Standards monitor Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) to improve indoor environments. Abound's WELL alerts notify facility managers when IAQ metrics deviate from healthy thresholds. Users can set up custom alerts with specific thresholds and receive notifications when metrics fall outside these parameters.

What is WELL Score?

The WELL Building Standard is utilized to evaluate, score, and certify a building's influence on the health and well-being of its occupants. The institute examines various areas, including air quality and lighting, to determine a building's compliance with the WELL standards.

For more information on IAQ and WELL score, refer to the IAQ section on the Abound Portal.

Using the AHS API for an HVAC Use Case

The AHS API serves multiple purposes. The example in this section illustrates how to utilize the API to generate dashboards or reports for a building leveraging HVAC data.

We'll begin by replicating the space hierarchy, retrieving assets assigned to particular spaces, and collecting device telemetry data.

Step 1: Retrieve Standard WELL Alerts

Use the getNodeByType query to create a mapping of the building, including floors and rooms.

Step 2: Retrieve Custom Alerts

Use the getAssetsForAllBuildingByAboundId query to get all assets assigned to the building and information about where the assets are located.
