Problem
People spend approximately 90% of their time indoors, yet indoor air quality (IAQ) is largely invisible and often unmonitored. Poor IAQ—characterized by elevated levels of fine dust (PM2.5), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), CO2, and improper temperature or humidity—can contribute to the spread of airborne viruses, impair cognitive performance, reduce productivity, and create uncomfortable or unsafe environments in homes, schools, and workplaces.
Solution
Awair offers a line of indoor air quality monitoring devices and software that track key environmental factors and provide real-time, actionable insights. The Awair Element sensor measures PM2.5, VOCs, CO2, temperature, and humidity, sending alerts through a mobile app so users can respond to changes such as rising CO2 or chemical emissions. For larger commercial and institutional settings, the Awair Omni monitors seven environmental metrics and integrates with building management systems, providing a comprehensive dashboard and API for facility managers. Both products display an "Awair Score" that translates raw sensor data into a simple, shareable indicator of current air quality. The company also provides data transparency tools for schools, offices, and retail businesses to demonstrate their commitment to occupant health and safety.
Target Audience
Primary customers include homeowners and home-office workers seeking to maintain healthier indoor environments, as well as K-12 schools, office building managers, retail establishments, and enterprise facilities teams needing scalable IAQ monitoring and compliance tools.
