IAQ Data

Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) pertains to the air quality within and surrounding buildings and structures, especially in relation to the health and comfort of occupants. A comprehensive understanding and management of common indoor pollutants can significantly mitigate health-related concerns.

• Temperature
• Humidity
• Airborne contaminants such as particulate matter (PM) 2.5 and total Volatile Organic Compounds (TVOCs)
• Gases like radon and carbon dioxide (CO2)

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

Step 1: Query Space Hierarchy

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

Step 2: Query for Assets

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

Step 3: Query Device Telemetry Data

Use the getNodeById query to retrieve telemetry data for each asset assigned to the building using the device ID. You can query for up to 2 weeks of data.
